    Ep 257: How to Manage Your Weight When You're Sick (Without Losing Momentum)

    Getting sick can really mess with your weight mastery! And I don't just mean missing a workout or two. When you're sick, everything feels off. Your appetite changes. Your routines disappear. Your skills feel shaky. And suddenly all those "sick foods" start looking a little too comforting. That's exactly why this week's podcast episode exists. In this episode, I walk you through how to stay grounded in your identity as a weight master, even when your body isn't cooperating and how to keep continuity with food and movement—yes, even if that movement is literally wiggling your toes (it counts) This isn't about being perfect while you're sick. It's about staying connected to who you are, even during recovery—so getting better doesn't turn into "starting over." So grab some tea, get comfy, and let's talk thin thinking when you're on the mend. Come on in!   FREE Weight Release Masterclass with Hypnosis ​How to Stop the "Start Over Tomorrow" Weight Struggle Cycle and Begin Releasing Weight for Good​ In this masterclass we will look at the 3 main subconscious barriers to losing weight long term.

    Ep 255: 5 Keys to Weight Release Consistency

    Hey friend, Let's talk about consistency for a moment. Because real consistency isn't about never getting off track. It's about knowing exactly what to do when you do—and getting yourself back on track quickly, calmly, and without all the drama. In this upcoming podcast episode, I'm walking you through five key steps that do exactly that. Think of it like this: You've been driving on that old, exhausting highway—start, stop, guilt, frustration, repeat. This episode helps you build a bridge to a new road of consistency—one that supports momentum, weight release, and long-term mastery instead of burnout. No white-knuckling. No "starting over on Monday." Just a steadier, more sustainable way forward. So if you're ready for a little road trip into new territory, come on in and press play when the episode drops.

    Ep 254: Hacks for 3 Serious Winter Weight Gain Challenges

    Winter has a way of showing us the challenges we managed to avoid during the summer. January rolls in with colder temperatures, darker mornings, comfort-food cravings, and routines that suddenly feel much harder to maintain. If you've noticed your motivation dip or your consistency feel shaky, I want you to hear this clearly: It's not that you're failing. It's that winter demands a different approach. When hibernation mode kicks in, movement naturally decreases, energy feels lower, and it can start to feel like your progress is slipping away. That's exactly why I recorded this new episode of The Thin Thinking Podcast. This isn't about pushing harder or "powering through." It's about learning how to work with winter instead of fighting it. So grab a blanket, get cozy, and join me for a conversation that will help you turn this season into one of strength, calm, and true weight mastery. Come on in!     FREE Weight Release Masterclass with Hypnosis How to Stop the "Start Over Tomorrow" Weight Struggle Cycle and Begin Releasing Weight for Good FREE Weight Release Masterclass with Hypnosis   In this masterclass we will look at the 3 main subconscious barriers to losing weight long term.

    Ep 250: PTSD Effects on Weight Issues with Joanne Williams

    Have you ever noticed that when your stress is high, everything feels off? Your hunger cues, your digestion, your energy… even the way you talk to yourself? There's a reason for that — and it's not because you're doing anything wrong. In this week's Thin Thinking Podcast episode, I sat down with PTSD expert Joanne Williams for a powerful conversation about what happens when the brain gets stuck on high alert. When our nervous system is constantly bracing for impact, it affects everything from our gut health to our emotional eating patterns — often leaving us with shame, self-blame, and the feeling that we can't trust our own bodies. If you've ever wondered why you turn to food when stress is high, or why your body sometimes feels like it's working against you, this episode brings both clarity and compassion — plus practical tools you can use right away. So take a deep breath… and come on in.   In This Episode, You'll Also Learn… The 4–8 Breathing Technique — a simple, science-backed way to calm your system in the moment. A rapid vagus nerve reset you can use anytime stress spikes. Joanne's "Three Brains" framework — gut, heart, and head — and how it helps move you out of reactivity and into conscious choice.   Links Mentioned in the Episode: Joanne's Email Joanne's Podcast Channel Schedule a FREE Focused Call with Joanne here Joanne's Website Joanne's Facebook Joanne's Instagram Joanne's Linkedin Joanne's Alignable Joanne's Tiktok Joanne's Youtube Join my FREE Masterclass: "How to Stop the "Start Over Tomorrow" Weight Struggle Cycle and Begin Releasing Weight for Good."
