As we kick off 2025, many dieters are setting ambitious weight loss resolutions — hoping this year will be the one they finally achieve their goal, but the truth is, only 9% will actually be successful.

So what do those successful 9% know that the other 91% don't?

The secret often lies in understanding the difference between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation.

In this episode, we dive into these two powerful forces driving human behavior.

Intrinsic motivation comes from within—you’re motivated by personal satisfaction, a sense of accomplishment, or the joy of healthy living. When you tap into intrinsic motivation, weight loss becomes about more than just the number on the scale; it's about feeling better by living in alignment with your values.

On the flip side, extrinsic motivation relies on external rewards like praise, attention, acceptance, etc. While these can give you a temporary boost, they’re unsustainable in the long run.

Join us as we explore how to balance both types of motivation so you can stay on track and turn your dream into a reality.

From finding joy in the process to setting realistic external milestones, you’ll learn how to tap into the power of both motivations to create lasting change and finally achieve your weight loss resolution.

The holidays can bring joy, but they also bring stress—especially for dieters who struggle with balancing self-care and social obligations.

In this episode, I dive into how holiday pressures and people-pleasing tendencies can lead to emotional burnout, causing dieters to use food as a way to self-soothe, cope, and numb feeling overwhelmed.

Whether it's the stress of family gatherings, financial expectations, or just feeling "off-track," emotional eating can quickly derail your progress and leave you feeling defeated.

Join me for actionable tips and practical strategies that will empower you to stay consistent even during the busiest time of the year.

I'll show you how to break free from the cycle of emotional eating, build a healthy relationship with food, and set yourself up for lasting success — without sacrificing your peace of mindn during the holidays.

The average adult will DOUBLE their alcohol consumption during the holidays and as a dieter you know, that throwing back boozy drinks can easily prevent you from progressing on your weight loss goal.

Typical diet advice is to limit your intake and to choose the lowest calorie option (I'm looking at you Vodka & Soda with lime), but does this actually help? Or, does it hurt?

And what about the eating!? You can't possibly uncork a bottle of wine without cheese and crackers, right? I mean, that would be criminal. And you deserve it. After all, you've worked hard all year and it's the holidays! This is no time to be a Scrooge.

We all know that you can't nurse a hangover the next day without a greasy cheeseburger and fries, right? After all, something has to soak up all that booze!

Basically, dieters do everything wrong when it comes to consuming alcohol. This episode is going to turn everything you think you know about drinking and weight loss, upside down. And that's a good thing! Because what you're doing hasn't worked.

In this episode, I share exactly how I eat, drink, and be merry without the holiday weight gain. Isn't it time for you to put the joy back into eating and drinking, too?

This week marks the beginning of several weeks of holidays.

That means parties, family gatherings, and lots of food.

Thanksgiving is all about being grateful for what we have, who we are connected to in our lives.

But too often, for most, it’s all about the food.

The turkey.
The stuffing.
The pies.
The side dishes.

Need I go on?

You don’t have to go to your holiday meals carrying a small Tupperware container with veggies and cottage cheese.

That’s old school, right?

You are here to live your life and that includes enjoying good food.

But that doesn’t have to mean that you leave this holiday being as stuffed as the turkey. I want you to feel excited going into this holiday, not dreading it.

So this week, Coach Steph and I talk about dealing with this holiday season in a way that allows for pleasure, but still leaves you in charge of what you do, how you eat and how you feel.

I’m going to show you how to think going into these celebrations, what to do, and how to create an occasion for yourself that you can look back at and feel proud. Proud of yourself for keeping your word to yourself, AND still enjoying all of the food.

Can you do it? After listening to this episode, I have NO DOUBT.

As a dieter, I was a gold medalist in "grazing”.

Primarily because I was constantly trying to eat the least amount of food possible at every eating event — or at least stay within my feeble boundary of the day — which left me perpetually unsatisfied, running back and forth to the kitchen continuously throughout the day. (I’m pretty sure this isn’t what the fitness industry meant when promoting 10,000 steps a day.)

It never occurred to me that I could go to a restaurant and order what I really wanted for dinner… right off the entrée menu… without having to ask for anything "on the side."

Even when I was "off track," I never gave myself permission to go to a restaurant and order something truly filling and satisfying.

Instead, I'd rummage through my cabinets grabbing handfuls of nuts and spoonfuls of peanut butter until I felt sick. And this is exactly why I could never lose those last stubborn 10-15 pounds.

Join me in this episode as I discuss the #1 mistake most dieters are making and they don't even realize it. I'll also reveal the simple yet delicious tweak I made to my eating that changed everything for me.
