I Wasn't Burnt Out — I Was Resisting What Really MatteredI used to think I was exhausted from doing too much, but the truth? I was drained from avoiding the one move that would change everything. In this episode, I break down the two types of burnout no one talks about — especially the sneaky kind that comes from emotional and mental resistance.Inside this episode, I cover:The signs that it's not burnout but inner conflictHow resistance shows up in our everyday livesThe simple actions that helped me shift my energy and momentum fastWhy doing what aligns with your purpose actually fuels youIf you've been stuck, foggy, or just off your game lately, this one's for you. Let's stop circling our goals and finally take aligned action.

Send us a textIn this episode, we get real about the counterfeit comforts we each reach for when life feels too heavy—whether that's emotional eating, perfectionism, scrolling, or even throwing ourselves into ministry. We open up about how our personal stories shaped these patterns. Heidi shares how growing up with alcoholic parents taught her to cope through control and performance, while Christina talks about how her mom's trauma from WWII in Germany created a legacy of anxiety and over-functioning in her own life. These habits may look harmless, but they often mask a deeper ache we're trying to numb.We also talk about how family history and cultural messages feed these false comforts and how even “good” things—like spiritual routines—can become a way to avoid real connection with God. But there's hope. Scripture invites us to bring our struggles into the light and let God meet us in the very places we tend to hide. Instead of running from discomfort, we're learning to pause and invite God in—right in the middle of our mess. Tune in and join us as we unpack the beginning of this healing journey.Support the showLearn more about our Revelation Within Community: https://www.revelationwithin.org

What if a little bit of delusion might be exactly what you need to boost your confidence? As the kids these days say: “being delulu is the solulu!”Mary shares 4 mindset shifts– that some might consider “delusional”– but will do wonders for your confidence. You will learn how to... - lie to yourself in an empowering way lol - stop comparing yourself to others with one very simple mindset shift - break free from external validation and derive your confidence from within - balance self-trust with consistent, confident action-taking - release perfectionism and believe in yourself Especially for women, embracing a positive mindset is often the first rebellion against a world that profits off of our self-doubt. This isn't about toxic positivity or lying to yourself in a way that's avoidant. It's about consciously choosing beliefs rooted in self-love that remind you that you are enough. Reclaim your self-esteem by choosing self-talk that inspires action and fuels your dreams, regardless of personal insecurities or cultural expectations. Remember: Confidence doesn't always have to be logical. It just has to set you free. If you enjoyed this episode, share it with your friends to spread the gift of self-love!

The Power of Believing: How to Cultivate Unshakable Faith in Yourself

In this deeply honest and unfiltered episode, I'm sharing something I originally recorded just for my clients inside The Unstoppable Group: how I navigated a massive epic fail on a recent family trip to India.

If you've ever felt like one off-track moment means you've "ruined everything," this episode is for you. I walk through the real-life breakdown, the uncomfortable truth about gut health and fried food (yup, we go there), and the five-question retrospective that changed everything.   Resources:  Get full show notes and more information here: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/162 Learn more about the group: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/group

I also answer a question I was asked one year ago: Did I actually hit the goal I set for myself? Let's find out together.

‘Tall girls just aren't that pretty.'That's how we're made to feel or even what we're told growing up by our crush, our peers, even family and friends, and strangers. And it's not a one-and-done thing. In fact, it's recurring. We hear and feel this often enough for us to wonder: Does everyone have the same viewpoint of tall women?That we're these ‘big', awkward skyscrapers? Why? Why is this the case? I got 3 words for ya: Societal beauty standards. This is explained in a piece written in the Minnesota Daily by Sidney Clarke, who says, “height has been inextricably associated with a lack of conventional beauty.” Why is this the case? And how can we overcome this?Well, that's what today's episode is all about!

We're diving deep into the messy middle—the part of your weight loss journey that no one talks about enough but everyone experiences. If you've ever felt like you're doing everything right but still aren't seeing results, this episode is for you. It's not about discipline. It's not about willpower. It's about identifying the strategic gaps that have quietly been stalling your progress and learning how to finally fill them. In this second part of the 10 Phases series, I walk you through phases 4 to 7: the turning point where things can either fall apart or finally come together. You'll learn how to handle discomfort, what to do when your plan goes off the rails, and how to keep going even when things get messy. 

“I'm happiest with my feet off the ground.” – Jenny Cova What if fear wasn't something to conquer... but to dance with? In this soulful and seriously inspiring episode, I'm joined by sky dancer, base jumper, and soon-to-be author Jenny Cova—an extreme athlete who brings pink power, grace, and authenticity to the clouds. But behind a woman literally flying, there's a story of self-doubt and learning to let go of ego. But this isn't just about jumping out of helicopters. It's about getting real with the fears that keep any of us stuck—fear of failure, fear of being too much, fear of the conversations we avoid but know would set us free. Jenny gets radically honest about how perfectionism and ego can destroy joy, and how she had to learn to bring playfulness back into her life.  

In this solo episode, Stephanie Mitton dives into the viral AI Barbie trend—and what it gets wrong about real women. From chronic migraines and ADHD to parenting and leading a business, Stephanie unpacks the tension between celebrating our wins and feeling like we need to shrink ourselves to be accepted.She explores the discomfort many women feel when owning their stories, the cultural conditioning behind it, and why it's time to stop playing small. If you've ever questioned whether you're “too much,” this episode is for you.✨ Real talk on visibility, vulnerability, and showing up as your full self—flaws and all.Our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/womendontdothatRecommend guests: https://www.womendontdothat.com/Our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/womendontdothatRecommend guests: https://www.womendontdothat.com/How to find WOMENdontDOthat:Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/womendontdothatInstagram - http://www.instagram.com/womendontdothat/TikTok- http://www.tiktok.com/@womendontdothatBlog- https://www.womendontdothat.com/blogPodcast- https://www.womendontdothat.com/podcastNewsletter- https://www.beaconnorthstrategies.com/contactwww.womendontdothat.comYouTube - http://www.youtube.com/@WOMENdontDOthatHow to find Stephanie Mitton:Twitter/X- https://twitter.com/StephanieMittonLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephaniemitton/beaconnorthstrategies.comTikTok- https://www.tiktok.com/@stephmittonInstagram- https://www.instagram.com/stephaniemitton/Interested in sponsorship?

Truthfully, being tall can be an isolating experience. I mean, it's very rare to have a moment where you can just feel like everyone else. Whenever you walk into a room, you're immediately noticed and get stares. People feel the need to make comments about your height. You see that cute fit your friends are wearing? Yeah, you can't wear that because it's not long enough. Experiences like these add up over time, causing us to feel like the odd one out constantly. Like the world treats you differently because of something you can't control. After a while, you start to wonder if there's a place for you or just anyone who can understand or relate or literally treat you like a normal human being. Today, I will be breaking down why many of us tall women feel this silent loneliness and why we shouldn't downplay this or pretend it doesn't affect us. Ok, was this a bit dramatic?? Maybe. But also not really. Because high school me/middle school me felt this way. Felt really isolated, felt like the odd one out. And I wanna say super early on that this episode is to not complain about being tall or hating on it. Because I know people will say “oh you're so lucky to be tall”  and bla bla bla like I get it. For real. Being tall is a blessing but it also has its trying moments. People will call you the weirdest names. And say the most heinous things about your body and height. Strangers will stare and point at you in public. Even your friends will say/do some shady things. All of this is on top of the fact that you're hyper-aware of your height in public and are constantly comparing your height to your shorter peers.When living in a world where many people are shorter than you, it can be hard. Truthfully. If you can relate, I highly recommend checking this episode out! Buy Me A Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/atallgirlspodcast Subscribe to A Tall Girl's Newsletter: https://atallgirlspodcast.beehiiv.com/subscribeLet's stay connected: https://beacons.ai/atallgirlspodcast Leave a review and let me know how tall you are: https://atallgirlspodcast.com/reviews

In this week's episode, I'm doing something I've never done before: bringing on a brand-new client who hasn't even started live coaching yet inside The Unstoppable Group. Camille, a full-time OB/GYN and mom, shares her early wins and the subtle but powerful mindset shifts that started happening the moment she said yes to herself. From reducing cravings to feeling better in her scrubs, Camille talks candidly about what changed for her before anything official even began and why investing in her goals (even with unpredictable hours and a toddler at home) was the best decision she's made this year. Dr. Camille Roque is a generalist OB/GYN in Northern California. She is happily married and has a two-year-old who keeps her busy after work. When she's not chasing after her toddler, she enjoys traveling and crafting. She is excited to join the next cohort and hopes to embrace her perfectionist tendencies—openly admitting them and using them as a strength within the group. Additionally, she is eager to explore new and sustainable ways to enjoy food and lifestyle changes. Most of all, she is thrilled to join a group of like-minded, strong women who inspire and support one another.   Resources:  Get full show notes and more information here: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/156 Learn more about the group: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/group  Get the Hormones Training: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/hormones  

  What if the secret to radiant, healthy skin isn't in your serum, but in your sleep and gut?

Okay, I have to ask – am I the only one? Am I the only tall girly who has considered height reduction surgery? Okay I was like 10 when I was actively considering it lol so there was no way that was ever really gonna happen but still. I hated my height so much that I genuinely wanted it. But thank goodness I didn't get it because NOW I really do love my height. So, what is height reduction surgery? Height reduction surgery is a procedure that aims to reduce overall height by removing a portion of a bone or intentionally damaging growth plates to stop further growth. And yes okay this is a real thing; go and look it up…or just listen to this episode. I honestly think there are several medical reasons why someone would get this surgery, such as to even out limbs that are at different lengths, but this procedure remains rare. Why?? Who knows. Maybe because of the various risks associated with it. However, the tall girlies are not looking to get this procedure for medical reasons. So why would they actively consider it? Tune in to the full episode to find out! And a big thanks to Sumissura for sponsoring today's episode! Finding clothes that actually fit our length and proportions is one of the biggest struggles tall women face. Because, let's be real, most big brands just don't get it. They either ignore us completely or think adding a couple of inches makes something “tall.” Yeah… not quite.That's where Sumissura comes in. They're a custom clothing brand that uses a made-to-measure system to create garments tailored to your body. All you have to do is enter your height, weight, and body type, and using over 13 years of algorithm training, they predict your measurements, including leg length, waist, and more so that you never have to second-guess the fit.  Check out their links below to dress the real you:Website: https://www.sumissura.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sumissura/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@sumissuraFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/sumissura I tried Sumissura! – https://youtu.be/1RctObtSlXc?si=blXb_yW6UMFw3nLo Buy Me A Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/atallgirlspodcast Subscribe to A Tall Girl's Newsletter: https://atallgirlspodcast.beehiiv.com/subscribeLet's stay connected: https://beacons.ai/atallgirlspodcast Leave a review and let me know how tall you are: https://atallgirlspodcast.com/reviews

Learn how to live longer, healthier, and happier by reframing your relationship to stress — it's time to stress ourselves “the right way”. The Science is showing that stress is beneficial and it helps build resilience. In this fascinating interview you'll learn about a new approach to stress management. “It's Stress 2.0” according to my guest, top doctor and leading researcher, Dr. Sharon Horesh Bergquist. Once you listen you'll have a new understanding about how to view stress and use it to improve your health. “Dr. Bergquist unpacks a surprising paradox: our bodies actually need stress to thrive; by deliberately stressing yourself the right way, you will heal, repair, and regenerate your body. In her forthcoming book The Stress Paradox: Why You Need Stress to Live Longer, Healthier, and Happier, Dr. Bergquist explains that brief bursts of “good” stress, such as fasting, high-intensity exercise, and cold and hot exposure, can activate our cellular repair mechanisms and lead to better overall health, increased energy, and even improved longevity.” So excited for you to listen + share this conversation with all of your friends!

Ever wonder why you reach for a snack or scroll through your phone when you're not actually hungry? It's not because you're weak or lazy—it's brain science. Your brilliant brain has learned that these rituals provide a quick hit of dopamine, making them hard to resist. But the problem is, those habits also keep you stuck, sabotaging your weight loss goals and leaving you feeling frustrated. In this episode, I'm sharing an excerpt from a recent coaching call where I taught my clients how to rewire their brains using the power of dopamine. You'll learn how to create new rituals that actually serve you without relying on willpower alone.   Resources:  Get full show notes and more information here: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/155 Learn more about the group: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/group  Get the Hormones Training: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/hormones

Have you ever heard a song and were suddenly transported back in time? A memory of a school dance, a sporting event, or the memory of that song you listened to on repeat after a break-up. Imagine watching a movie without music, would it have the same impact? No! Music is a universal tool a “language” and there are instruments that date back tens of thousands of years. It has been a part of life for so long and often an unrecognized source for personal and professional development. In this beautiful and rich conversation, Sara Leila Sherman, who is a distinguished classical musician and educator, renowned for her work in making music accessible to young audiences through her children's concert series, Mozart for Munchkins, joins us. We discuss the idea of treating music as you would diet or exercise— something that is integral to your well-being. Sara shares how music can be used as part of a mindfulness practice as well as a tool to develop better habits. You'll hear how music is a way to foster connection with others and why it's good to expand our musical interests. She is the co-author of “Resonant Minds: The Transformative Power of Music, One Note at a Time” which you'll learn more about in this episode.

In this episode of Your Favorite Aunties Podcast, we dive deep into the journey of self-discovery, learning to shut out outside opinions, and setting boundaries that protect our peace. We reflect on how far we've come as women, the lessons we've learned along the way, and what it truly means to embrace our authentic selves. If you're on a journey of growth, healing, and stepping into your power, this conversation is for you!Listen now and let's grow together!

In this episode I'm taking you through the highs and lows of stress, the impact of cortisol on our bodies, and the powerful, often-overlooked role of oxytocin in weight loss and overall well-being. Drawing from my own experience as a busy physician and mom, I'm unpacking the ways high-achieving women fall into the fight-or-flight cycle—pushing through exhaustion, relying on caffeine, and ignoring the body's true needs. But what if there was another way? We'll explore how oxytocin, the so-called “love hormone,” is much more than a feel-good chemical—it's a physiological game changer that can help regulate stress, improve metabolism, and create sustainable weight loss. I'll break down the science behind it, debunk common misconceptions about self-compassion, and offer practical, step-by-step ways to implement the oxytocin effect into daily life. If you've ever felt stuck in a cycle of overworking, stress-eating, or self-criticism, this conversation is for you.   Resources:  Get full show notes and more information here: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/154 Learn more about the group: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/group  Get the Hormones Training: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/hormones
