Welcome to the first episode of our brand-new Coffee Chat Series: a special collection of candid, strategic conversations designed to help high-achieving women break free from the hidden mental blocks standing between them and their dream body goals. In this kickoff chat, I'm unpacking one of the most sneaky yet expensive thought habits that keeps so many smart professional women stuck: the belief that “it's not working.” And no, this isn't about willpower or discipline.

I'm diving into what I call the “overeating boomerang”—a hidden mindset trap that keeps smart, capable women swinging between trying to be superhuman and using food to numb out. You'll hear the real-life experiences (with names changed for privacy) of women inside my coaching program who realized they were stuck in this pattern, and how we began shifting it.

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. I'm pulling back the curtain on exactly what went wrong, what I used to believe in these moments, and the specific mindset and strategy shifts that helped me turn it all around without the usual spiral. 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 

Show Notes:Summary:In this eye-opening episode, Rick breaks down the truth behind stress eating and why it's not a failure of discipline—it's a function of biology. You'll learn how cortisol, habit loops, and engineered junk foods hijack your brain and create cravings that feel impossible to resist. More importantly, you'll discover real strategies to interrupt those patterns, reset your environment, and take control without relying on brute-force willpower. This isn't about shame. It's about science—and using it in your favor.Key Takeaways:Stress eating is a predictable pattern, not a personal flaw. It's driven by biological responses, not lack of willpower.Fast food isn't easier—it just feels that way. When you prep ahead, healthy choices become faster, cheaper, and more satisfying.Cortisol floods your system during stress, triggering cravings for fat and sugar. Understanding this gives you leverage—not excuses.Junk food hacks your brain's reward system. It mimics the effects of dopamine and serotonin, but only temporarily.The trick is to redirect—not resist—your cravings. Small actions like movement, hydration, or better snack swaps can interrupt the loop.Your environment matters more than your motivation. When healthy food is easy to reach and junk is harder to access, your decisions improve automatically.Start by prepping one meal this week or rearranging your kitchen so the good stuff is visible and easy to grab.

For this very special birthday episode, I'm doing something totally different. Instead of me asking the questions, I handed the mic to my amazing clients and let them interview me. What started as a fun idea turned into one of my favorite episodes ever. You'll hear stories I've never shared before, what inspired me to become a coach, and what I've learned through every messy, glorious, imperfect step along the way. 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.

Diet plans, coaching, apps— but you still end up turning to food when you're stressed, overwhelmed, or just need a break.Maybe you feel like you know what you "should" be doing, but can't bridge the gap between knowledge and action. In this episode, I talk with Lauren, who has spent the last few years trying everything to break her stress eating habits. From intermittent fasting to nutrition coaching to Noom—nothing seemed to stick. And if you've been in that same frustrating cycle, this conversation will hit home.We uncover why stress eating isn't about the food itself—it's about the deeper emotional drivers that keep pulling you back in. We also talk about the habits and rituals that can actually help you regulate stress without needing food as a crutch.Here's what you'll learn in this episode: The subconscious patterns that make emotional eating feel impossible to stopWhy journaling, meditation, and rituals can help—but only if done the right wayHow to build real trust in yourself so you don't need accountability to stay consistentThe power of setting non-negotiables in your routine to protect your well-beingWhy waiting for a “rock bottom” moment before making changes keeps you stuckIf you're ready to stop feeling a slave to food when stress hits and finally create sustainable habits that work for you (not against you), press play now!

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  

Listen to today's podcast... Do you reach for comfort foods when you are frustrated, tired, or stressed out? I do. I crave chocolate covered almonds, coffee flavoured Hagen Daas Ice Cream, and Cadbury mini eggs. These cravings are worse when I am emotional or feeling out of control. We know that cortisol increases food cravings for sugary or fatty foods. It also increases hunger hormones which can lead to us making poor nutritional choices. Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency!      Here are today's Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating National Emotional Over-Eating Month: Emotional overeating is a huge topic. Using food as a way of attempting to cope with or control feelings can lead to weight gain and poor nutrition. It is a problem when the emotional overeating leaves you feeling unhappy, guilty, and less than. Eating can distract you and calm you. You may see it as a reward…a way of doing something special for yourself. Start by understanding which emotions increase your cravings. Create a clear picture of what “peace with food” means for you. Visualize yourself at your best and the role you want food and eating to play in your life. Look for ways to indulge and reward yourself without turning to food. One site suggested to look for things that smell good rather than taste good – I am attracted to hand creams and fabric sprays, so maybe that will work for me as a mood booster. Another suggested to look for things that feel good – like a fuzzy blanket or sweater. It is all about addressing the habit to reach for foods that in the end, don't satisfy or leave you feeling less than. Looking for more tips to build your resiliency?

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.

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

Hey girl, have you ever found yourself standing in the kitchen, staring at the pantry, reaching for food—not because you're actually hungry, but because you're stressed, overwhelmed, or just DONE? Yep, I've been there too. But here's the thing… food isn't the answer. Jesus is.

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

For years, the scale had a powerful hold over me. Some days, I weighed myself obsessively, letting one “bad” number ruin my mood. Other times, I avoided the scale altogether, afraid to confirm what I already suspected. If you've ever felt triggered by the scale—or any kind of data—you're not alone. But here's the truth: it's not the number itself that causes dread. It's the meaning we attach to it. I'm walking you through how to break free from the doom-and-gloom cloud that follows so many high-achievers when it comes to weight loss. You'll learn how to use data to work for you—not against you—so you can make informed, powerful decisions about your health. Whether or not you ever step on a scale again is completely up to you, but if you do, this episode will show you how to approach it from a place of curiosity, not criticism.   Resources:  Get full show notes and more information here: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/152 Learn more: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/  Get on the email list: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/magic
