    189. Why You Keep Ending Up Here - Break Losing and Gaining the Same 20 Pounds

    If you’re tired of losing and gaining the same 10–20 pounds over and over again, this episode is going to spark that hope in you to try again from a sustainable lens. Because tbh, when this isn't your first time losing weight, all the advice online starts to feel like "I already tried that and that didn't work" and you start to wonder whether your body is really broken because you can't get the same results as the people around you or if you just need to push harder. But deep down, you know it'll last for a few weeks to months just to start again. This episode will change everything for you. You will walk away with (4) shifts that you need to make right now with your workouts and meals to be consistent for good (*ahem, and these ain't basic either LOL. It's from my own true lived experiences as a chronic dieter + my clients). Tune in: -Why choosing workouts and meals based on your actual capacity > discipline is what finally makes consistency stick -Seeing consistency as a skill you practice, not a perfect template that works for one season and then collapses the moment life gets busy -How shifting out of “diet brain” and into a lifestyle mindset frees you -Why building habits for the version of you who maintains the weight matters, and how avoiding that vision is part of what keeps you stuckJoin the waitlist for the Forever Consistent Membership: A place where your workouts and meals will finally stick, even during busy, low-energy, and unpredictable weeks. This program is not another quick fix challenge that leaves you restarting again. Instead, you will be building the skill of consistency to trust yourself to show up for your body for a lifetime with other women of color like you: https://forms.gle/cfcnAqfvWzRtW47b8  Book a Consultation for 1:1 Coaching: Ready to lose 10-20 pounds while eating foods you love? Private coaching is designed to help busy women of color like you be the healthiest, strongest and the most consistent you've ever be been with a full schedule to keep the weight off for good.

    188. How Nurses and Doctors Can Lose Weight Eating Hospital Food (When You Work Long Shifts)

    When you work in the medical field, eating healthy consistently feels almost impossible. Your day runs on emergencies, not meal breaks. You’re on your feet for hours taking care of everyone else first, and suddenly it’s 3pm and you haven’t eaten anything since you clocked in. By the time you do eat, you’re starving and grabbing whatever is closest, and the vending machine is now your bestie. This is what happens when decision-making for food is the last thing on your mind. In this episode, I break down how to stay on track with your meals when your schedule is unpredictable, and your breaks don’t happen when they’re “supposed” to. I share the simple shifts I coach my physicians, nurses, and assistants that help them stay nourished through long shifts, and avoid the hangry spiral that leads to overeating later. Here’s what we get into: -Why waiting for the “right moment” to eat keeps you stuck and how to work with your unpredictable schedule instead of against it -How to eat hospital food intentionally to stay on track and hit your fitness goals -The one meal that matters most for your next-day hunger, and how to make it work even when you’re exhausted after your shift Book a Consultation for 1:1 Coaching: Ready to lose 10-20 pounds while eating foods you love?

    187. How to Stay On Track With Your Meals Without Cooking a Separate Dinner and Eat With Family

    When you’re the one cooking for your family, trying to lose weight can feel impossible. You want to eat healthier… but you also want to eat with your family, enjoy your cultural foods, and not spend your whole life meal prepping two separate menus (uhhh hello, ain't nobody got time for that haha). In this episode, I talk about how to stay on track with your meals without adding more to your plate, how to navigate eating cultural foods with cultural expectations (especially when it comes to your elders, because I can't be the only one who can't say "no" to food even when I am full). So if you're the main person who cooks for your household, but you also want to be healthier this year, tune in. :) Here’s what we get into: -Why traditional diet advice doesn’t work for women of color, especially when food is emotional, cultural, and communal -How to eat the same meals as your family while still supporting your weight loss, by adjusting your plate -How to feel in control at family events and gatherings, even when you’re not the one choosing the menu, because once you master this at home, going out no longer keeps you off track Book a Consultation for 1:1 Coaching: Ready to lose 10-20 pounds while eating foods you love?
