**Mindful Shape**

If you’ve been dieting and exercising your whole life and have yet to reach your weight-loss goal and keep it off, this podcast is for you. Most programs solve for the effect (the excess weight) but not the overeating problem – the reasons why you put on the extra weight in the first place. In each episode you’ll learn how to use your mind, not willpower to feel at peace with food and finally experience life in the body you secretly know is your natural shape. Let’s do it together.

139 Learning Mindset - Sue’s Story Jun 13, 2025

Show notes

Today you’ll meet one of my clients Sue. You’ll come away inspired not only by her story and her 50lb weight loss, but her renewed lease on life and refreshing perspective on weight loss. We talk about how she shifted being panicked about hunger to befriending it, how her learning mindset was key to her success and specifically what that looked like in the program. She talks about how she incorporated “natural pleasures” to lower her interest in indulging with food, weight loss as self care rather than punishment and lots more. I hope you see a little of yourself in Sue, recognizing your own dedication, commitment and reverence for your body and your life- and that by listening to this episode all of those qualities are amplified within you.

138 Choosing Negative Emotion Jun 04, 2025

Show notes

There’s no amount of thought work, green juice or yoga that’s going to ensure you never feel bad. We can’t control that life is balanced between negative and positive, but we can often control which negative and which positive we choose. So in this episode I’m talking about emotional tradeoffs; how to choose your negative emotion in order to achieve what you want rather than experiencing negative emotion by default.

In this episode you’ll learn:

Which negative emotions keep you stuck and which help move you forward.
To see emotions as fuel
The mindset shift you need when you feel lousy

137 It's Never Too Late - Cynthia's Story May 14, 2025

Show notes

Meet my client Cynthia. She shares her honest and relatable experience of transforming her relationship with food, body, and herself and reaching your desired weight. If you've ever felt like you're intellectually aware of what needs to change but are still stuck, this episode will deeply resonate with you.

When we started she felt stuck in temporary success and long-term frustration and through our work together, she uncovered hidden thought errors, learned how to regulate emotions without relying on food, and built sustainable habits rooted in self-compassion rather than white-knuckled discipline.

She opens up about what surprised her the most—how tenderness and curiosity became the foundation for lasting change, and how she slowly began to see herself differently after years of struggling.

We talk about the power of having a compelling vision—not as a future ideal, but as an anchoring belief about who you are today. She opens up about letting go of food panic, becoming more intentional with wine and celebration, and redefining success as small, consistent steps rather than perfection.

Her story is a beautiful reminder that weight loss isn’t just physical—it’s emotional, it's about our self concept, and deeply human.

136 Regretting What You Ate May 08, 2025

Show notes

How often do you regret what you eat? Like eating that leftover easter chocolate. It wasn’t even good quality.

Oftentimes we eat really healthy food but regret the amount of food we ate. We look down and the whole bag is empty. The whole sleeve of crackers is gone. How did that happen?

Regret can be one of our most powerful emotional reminders that reflection, change and growth are available and necessary.

135 Aliveness Apr 29, 2025

Show notes

When it comes to releasing excess weight you don't automatically think, the key is cultivating more aliveness, presence and curiosity, but it works! Today I'm talking about two types of awareness: cognitive awareness (I know why I do what I do) and embodied awareness (I know what I’m feeling) and how we can use them to help us reach our desired weight and feel in charge around food.

In this episode you’ll learn:

A new way to think about dopamine, snacking and doomscrolling
Why curiosity is the most underrated skill in releasing weight

134 How to Stop Self Sabotaging Apr 23, 2025

Show notes

We often say things like, “there’s a part of me that wants to be healthy and reach my goal weight but another part just wants to say, I’m too tired, I’m just going to eat what I want right now.” And it’s a battle between these two versions of ourselves. We call it self-sabotage.

In this episode you’ll learn:

How to recognize and embrace different versions of yourself and utilize this concept to help you become more of the person you want to be
Why watching a Black Mirror episode might help you be your own bestie, for REAL

133 Superthinking Apr 16, 2025

Show notes

Your brain is a beautiful tool and left to it's own devices will likely offer up justifications to over indulge at the expense of feeling how you want to feel in your body. If you've ever overeaten because you had a long day, it wasn't because you lacked willpower, it was only because your brain needed relief and offered up the thought to eat. We need to understand this and instead of blaming ourselves, develop self awareness and practice superthinking - being intentional with thoughts that serve you.

In this episode you’ll learn:
