79. 1 Year Postpartum: How I Lost 35 Pounds, Balanced Motherhood & Ditched “Bounce Back” Culture Jul 28, 2025

Show notes

One year. Two kids. 35 pounds lost.

Ezra just turned one (!!), and today I’m pulling back the curtain on my 1-year postpartum weight loss journey. From healing physically and emotionally, to navigating breastfeeding, business, and mom life with two kids—this past year has been full of growth (not just the baby kind).

If you’ve ever wondered what it really looks like to balance life with two kiddos, run a business, keep up with breastfeeding, AND lose the baby weight—this episode is for you. I’m sharing the not-so-glam postpartum truths, from losing 35 pounds (without tracking a single macro or going on any wild diets!) to learning to trust my hunger cues, finding joy in simple movement (hello, walking desk life), and kicking “bounce back” culture to the curb once and for all.

Plus, I’m serving up allll the honesty around asking for help, setting boundaries, and forgiving myself when I just can’t do it all. (Because, uh, who actually can?!)

Whether you’re in the trenches of postpartum or just love a little peek behind the curtain, this one’s got it all—heart, mindset shifts, and that reminder you don’t have to do it perfectly to be proud of your journey.

Let me know on IG (@the.mindful.nutritionist) if you love these super real-life updates (or if you think I should have a third kid—jury’s still out, lol). And remember: you DON’T have to “bounce back”—you get to rebuild, stronger than ever.

xoxo,

Jackie

78. How to Feel Confident in Your Swimsuit This Summer (Even If You Haven’t Hit Your Goal Weight Yet) Jul 21, 2025

Show notes

Ready for swimsuit season...or kinda freaking out? Girl, SAME. If you’ve ever said, “I’ll wear that swimsuit when I lose 10 more pounds,” or you find yourself dreading summer because you’re struggling to feel confident in your skin (especially if you’re on a weight loss journey), this episode is for you!

In today’s super real talk, I’m sharing 10 mindset and body image shifts you NEED to get out of your head and actually enjoy summer—yes, even if weight loss is still in progress. We’re ditching the “I’ll love my body later” mindset and jumping into what will actually have you feeling grounded, proud, and confident while rocking that swimsuit (no matter what the scale says).

We’re making confidence an inside job—this isn’t about getting to your “goal weight” first. Plus, I share personal stories (like postpartum struggles and swimsuit drama) and the exact shifts that helped me, and my clients, feel free in our bodies now (not someday).

If you’re ready to have an actually fun and confident summer in your own skin, tune in—we’re making this the summer you show up (even before you “get there”). You’ll leave with 10 practical tips to choose from, a little homework, and SO much encouragement.

xoxo,

Jackie

76. How to Stay Committed To Weight Loss Even When You Don’t See Results (Yet) Jul 07, 2025

Show notes

Ever feel like you’re doing all the right things—meal planning, moving your body, working on your mindset—but NOTHING seems to be happening? The scale won’t budge, the jeans aren’t fitting any differently, and you start thinking, “What’s the freaking point?!”

If you’ve been stuck in what feels like a never-ending plateau or wondering if your hard work is even making a difference, this episode is your pep talk, strategy session, and permission slip to keep going. Because here’s the truth: progress often looks invisible before it shows up externally. And most women quit right here—right before the breakthrough. Not you.

Today, I’m pulling back the curtain on my own major plateaus (think: two separate times I wanted to quit for MONTHS) and sharing exactly how to keep going even when you don’t see results… yet. We’re getting real about why your habits are working (even if you can’t see it), why consistency always beats intensity, and how focusing on your journey—not the ‘ideal’ or someone else’s Instagram highlight reel—changes everything.

Whether you’re plateauing, burned out, or just wondering if your efforts are worth it, this episode is your reminder: just because you can’t see it, doesn’t mean it’s not working.

If you’re ready to ditch the all-or-nothing mindset and actually enjoy your journey, this one’s for you.

xoxo,

Jackie
