In today's episode, Trisha and I answer a listener's question about anxiety, overthinking and the need to control. The question comes from a listener who asks: "Has Trisha any tips for dealing with overthinking due to anxiety and wanting things to go a certain way? Why do we feel that need when all we can control is ourselves?" It's a great question and one I think many women will relate to. If you find yourself worrying about the future, replaying conversations, trying to make things go a certain way or feeling uncomfortable when things are out of your control, this episode is for you.

In today's episode, Trisha and I answer a listener's question about food, weight loss and the fear of slipping back into diet culture. The question comes from a listener who wants to get fit and strong and improve her health, but also feels confused about how weight loss actually works without calorie counting, restriction and obsessing over food again. We talk about overeating, fat storage, portion sizes, hunger, body trust and the fear many women have of “getting it wrong” when they stop dieting. We also explore the difference between healthy structure and diet culture, why so many women feel stuck in the all-or-nothing cycle, and how to approach weight loss in a slower, calmer and more sustainable way without becoming consumed by food. As always, Trisha McHale brings her grounded psychotherapist perspective — helping unpack what's happening beneath these patterns and why rebuilding trust, consistency and self-awareness matters so much.

I went from feeling sluggish, unhealthy and like I was constantly starting over… to fit, strong and consistent. In this episode, I'm talking about what really had to change for me to finally stop the stop-start cycle and build  healthy habits that actually felt sustainable. I share what life looked like before — the restrictive eating, the overwhelm, the shaky foundations, the pressure I was putting myself under, and why I kept failing even though I was trying so hard. We talk about stress, food, exercise, mindset, routines, emotional eating, boundaries, and the shift from constantly chasing weight loss… to focusing on becoming fit, strong and healthy. If you've ever felt like you're forever “starting again”, this episode will really hit home. Click play and let's dive in.

In today's episode, Trisha and I answer two listener questions. The first is about food, fear and body trust after a lifetime of dieting — wondering what your body's “comfortable weight” actually is, and whether starting to eat three proper meals a day will lead to weight gain after years of restriction, skipped meals and constantly trying to stay at a certain weight. The second question is about trying to stay mentally strong while carrying a lot emotionally. Balancing work, family illness, grief, caregiving and daily life — while also trying to look after yourself through it all. We talk about the emotional load many women carry, and the reality that life can feel very heavy at times.

If you feel like you're doing your best… but still not seeing the results you want, this ones for you. Every Monday inside Thrive Academy, I read through check-ins from women just like you — and no matter the  background, or starting point, the same three patterns come up again and again. I've been coaching women since 2007, and it's incredible how consistent these barriers are. They're not obvious. They're not talked about enough. But they quietly get in the way of progress, consistency, and results. In this episode, I break down the three most common things I see that stop women from becoming fit, strong, and healthy — even when they're trying. Once you see them, you can start to change them. This episode will help you understand what's really going on, why you might feel stuck, and what to focus on instead so you can move forward with more clarity and confidence.

In today's episode, Trisha and I answer three questions. The first is about a newer therapy called TMS (often referred to as Exomind) and whether something like this could help with food cravings — especially that feeling of being completely out of control at night. After trying all the usual strategies, this question really gets into whether it's a deeper brain-based issue, and if something like this could “reset” things… or if it's just an expensive quick fix. The second question is about bulky calves — walking daily, staying active, doing strength training… and still feeling like your calves look bigger than you'd like. The third question is about anxiety — and why it shows up even around things you enjoy. That feeling of self-consciousness, overthinking what you're wearing, avoiding attention, and even holding back from wearing clothes you like. We unpack why this happens and how to start changing your relationship with it.

In this episode, Trisha and I answer two questions from our lovely listeners. The first is from someone approaching 65 who feels like they've hit a wall. Wondering what's next, what will excite them again, and how to move forward without slowing down. We talk about this stage of life and how to navigate it. The second is about the discomfort that comes with eating better. That moment where you know what to do… but another part of you pushes back. The “I don't want the broccoli” voice. We talk about why this happens and how to start responding to it differently. Click play and let's dive in.

In today's episode, Trisha and I answer three questions. The first is from someone who feels like their emotions are becoming harder to manage — feeling upset more easily, struggling with their thoughts, and finding it harder to stay mentally on top of everyday life at work and at home. We talk about what might be going on and when it might be time to seek extra support. The second question is about feeling stuck in your 40s — the fear of failure, the fear of moving forward, and feeling like you're falling behind in life. The third question is about the constant chatter in your head around food, weight, and guilt — feeling like you've “ruined everything” after dessert or a bowl of pasta, and how to begin changing those patterns after years of diet culture thinking.

In today's episode, Trisha and I are answering two questions that I know so many of you will quietly relate to. If you've ever felt stuck in that horrible loop of not seeing progress… getting tired… reaching for coffee or chocolate… and then slowly falling off track — this one is for you. We talk about what's actually happening in those moments. Why it feels so hard to stay steady when results are slow. And how to rebuild momentum without turning on yourself or throwing everything out the window. Then we move into the teenage years. If you're working full-time, juggling drop-offs and pick-ups, watching the money fly out every month, and wondering how to stay present in it all — we talk about that too. How to catch yourself when you're reacting. How to steady the tone at home. And how to bring more calm and connection into your parenting, even when life feels relentless. As always, Trisha McHale brings her grounded, compassionate psychotherapist lens — helping unpack what's happening beneath the behaviours, and how to shift from reacting to responding.

In this episode I'm joined by Trisha and we answer three questions from listeners who are exhausted from carrying everything. We talk about rebuilding confidence after leaving an abusive relationship, imposter syndrome at work, stress, weight gain and coping habits, guilt when you're tired, feeling lazy for resting, and being mentally fried from full-time work and parenting. If you're doing it all, managing alone and quietly blaming yourself for struggling, this conversation will resonate. Click play and let's dive in.

In this episode, Trisha and I answer three listener questions. We talk about the overlap between anxiety, ADHD traits, trauma, hormones, parenting, and overwhelm — and how to know when something is manageable and when it's time to seek further support. We also answer a question on nutrition and endurance training, and why nutrition can unravel when training volume increases. Finally, we talk about confidence and identity, and how working from home can slowly change how you feel about yourself and your social confidence.

In today's episode, Trisha and I answer three powerful listener questions that so many women quietly struggle with. We talk about family estrangement — what's really happening when an adult child cuts off communication, the deep hurt and confusion it causes on all sides, and whether these breakdowns can be prevented or gently repaired. We also dive into long-term social anxiety. One listener shares her experience of living with anxiety since her teens, how bullying shaped her fear of speaking up, and the toll it's taking on a job she genuinely loves. We explore why “just pushing yourself” often makes things worse, what's happening in the nervous system, and what can actually help when anxiety feels overwhelming and ingrained. Finally, we look at people-pleasing and over-performing in conversations — the urge to say the right thing, be liked, keep the peace, and carry the emotional load — and why these patterns are so hard to break, even when you're aware of them.

Ever felt the itch to change everything — but also felt paralyzed because you've built a community, payroll, and a reputation on the “old thing”?I sat down with Tracy Matthews, a serial reinventer who's survived bankruptcy, built and rebuilt seven-figure creative businesses, and now runs a program called The Art of Reinvention.This episode is a masterclass in doing the pivot work without burning it all down (unless you actually want to). We get honest about the messy middle: burnout, descaling, the loneliness of leadership, and the brutal clarity that hit after 2008 when Tracy's jewelry company imploded.If you're tired of launching the same thing in different packaging, or you're stuck between keeping a legacy brand alive and chasing a new north star, this episode will give you permission, structure and a shove.What we unpacked Why reinvention is not flaky — it's how you stay relevant, wealthy, and inspired. How Tracy rebuilt after bankruptcy and turned custom relationships into a new, profitable model. The emotional and financial reasons founders resist “hard pivots,” and how to descale with dignity. When community becomes the thing that holds you back and how to bring people along ethically. The 3-step Art of Reinvention framework: Clarity → Create → Cultivate (and what each step actually looks like). How to write a vibrant, visual vision (not a boring sentence) that consistently pulls you forward. Why creativity is the business life force — and how to find it again when you're burned out. Practical product strategy: one core offer that serves beginners through scale-ups. You'll walk away withA clear first action if you think you need a reinvention but don't know where to start. Language to explain a pivot to your team and community without sounding flaky. A refresh checklist for deciding what to keep, what to kill, and what to consolidate. The emotional permission to “work yourself out of the business” and why that might be the boldest move you make.>>MEET TRACY

How many times have you heard the phrase SALES FUNNEL and either wondered "what the hell does THAT mean?" or "HOW the hell do I do that for my business?"In today's episode, I interview Tracy Matthews and she spills the beans on how to create automatic sales in your business.We're talking the type of sales that come when someone opts in to your email list for your 20% off code… and then they actually use that coupon code and buy from you AND come back to buy AGAIN… from having the right sales funnel in place.And the type of sales that come from SMS text message marketing and how to do it RIGHT - either in a very personal way or in a more scalable way.And the type of sales that come from turning your first time customer into a REPEAT customer.These are all sales that you can build out to become automatic when you learn how to leverage the sales funnels that Tracy shares with you today.Tracy Matthews is the founder of Flourish & Thrive Academy and several companies in the jewelry and creative space. She supports hundreds of thousands of small business owners through her programs, best-selling book [The Desired Brand Effect}, and weekly podcast {Thrive b y Design] to help them stand out in a saturated market with their products.LINKS MENTIONED IN TODAY'S EPISODEFollow Tracy on Instagram @tracymatthewsny and @flourish_thriveVisit her website to get a glimpse of her book at https://desiredbrandeffect.com/chapter1/LEARN MORE FROM MONICA LITTLEWebsite: www.monicalittlecoaching.comInstagram: @monicalittlecoachingJoin the Product Biz Academy waitlist to be first notified when doors open

I'm often asked - “what would YOU do if you had to start your jewelry business over again?” In this episode, I answer that question by revealing the 7 things I would do if I were starting over again from scratch. In this episode, I cover: Why I quit my retail job at Nordstrom to start a Jewelry company What I did to go from achieving nothing each day to generating $50k in sales in just 6 months. What to do when you're sitting down to get work done - but don't have a deadline to work towards. Who I'd reach out to first to make sales if I were just starting again Ways to sell items that aren't even listed on your website A story about how I helped one woman who was scared to reach out close a sale in just 5 minutes! How often I think you should email your list and why frequent marketing actually brings in more sales. I reveal that not all revenue-generating time is created equal - and I share which activities are worth your time and which are not. I talk about the law of attraction and how energetics affect your success.  I recommend activities that I've found very helpful in cultivating a success mindset. I talk about how to set up a funnel to generate automatic sales. I share how one of my friend's business took off while mine stagnated- and how doing what she did saved me from burnout, boosted my revenue, and led to me creating Flourish and Thrive Academy. I show you where much of the value of your business really comes from - and it might not be where you think it is!

Sharla Jacobs and her husband and business partner, Jesse Koren, have been called the #1 Source for turning Coaches and Holistic Practitioners into 6-Figure Transformational Leaders.   If you look at the Transformational Leaders of today, you'll find that many of them had their first $10,000 month while working with Jesse and Sharla.   They've also been recognized as the world's leading authorities when it comes to teaching Coaches and Holistic Practitioners how to attract more clients.  And Thrive Academy Members have earned over 100 Million dollars collectively. On the surface, it seems they're just teaching practical skills and templates to Coaches and Holistic Practitioners so they can attract more clients and have their first $10,000 month.    However, what they're best known for is providing deeply transformational experiences for people who know they've also got to work on their inner game if they want to create a thriving business.   Whether you want a thriving private practice or you want to step into Transformational Leadership, Thrive Academy is the place to be.    Get Your Scholarship to the Client Attraction Summit here: www.GiftfromThrive.com/wildhearts And don't forget to snag your Client-Getting Template Pack: GiftfromThrive.com/wildheartspack

Robin Kramer is a brand marketing maven, natural business nurturer, master of relationships, and a sales expert who has an impressive history with leaders in the retail industry who have built their brands on innovative merchandising and strong service cultures. Among these brands is Williams-Sonoma, Inc., where she utilized her operations management background to develop and refine the process of opening new stores during a period of rapid expansion across that organization's three retail brands: Williams-Sonoma, Pottery Barn, and Hold Everything. Kramer overhauled the store's associate recognition program; she also led the customer service functions for all retail brands, including the development and implementation of service standards in stores and call centers. She went on to implement similar programs and new initiatives at another forward-thinking retail brand, the Old Navy division of Gap, Inc.​For the past 20+ years, Robin has worked with primarily small, upscale wholesale jewelry brands and designers to bring their products to market, position these niche brands for maximum exposure to their target customers, and build relationships with national and international retailers. One such brand was Dogeared, where she helped them grow from a small company into a well-known jewelry brand with sales growth of over 800% in the five years she was there. She has a keen eye for recognizing products and designs that represent a unique and fresh approach in a crowded and competitive space.​In 2010, Robin founded Red Boot Consulting, and in 2012, she co-founded Flourish & Thrive Academy, an online business educational platform for jewelry designers worldwide.

Are you staring at the scale, wondering why it isn't moving despite your best efforts? You're making the right choices, staying disciplined, but the number seems stubbornly stuck. I know how frustrating and disheartening this can be because I've been there too. I understand the temptation to revert to old eating habits or try an entirely new approach in hopes of a quick fix.

I'll share the approach I use with members of the Thrive Academy for Physicians when they face this issue.  In this episode, you'll learn how to avoid common mistakes and problem-solve without throwing all your hard work out the window.
