    200 Hours Before the Keys: What Habitat for Humanity Knows About Keeping the Weight Off

    I've never paid myself a salary from this business. Every dollar of profit this company makes goes somewhere else.  Why do I even charge money for my coaching in that case?  Let's talk about that, as well as where DO my profits go? And why? In this episode, I talk in detail about a specific charity that I care about deeply, and its impact, which I have no doubt will surprise you. Next (and this is fascinating) I connect the dots between how that organization operates and how my coaching approach works. If you've ever wondered what actually happens to the money you spend with a small business, or if you've ever wondered why my coaching approach works when so many other things haven't, this episode answers both.

    The Simplest and Messiest Weight Loss Tool You're Probably Not Using

    Don't miss your chance to get into the last round of No Judgment! Book your free consultation here: https://calendly.com/kathybedwardconsult/30min You catch yourself standing at the pantry at 8pm. You know you are not hungry, but you are most definitely WANTING food. And you have no idea why. What if I told you that there is a tool that can help you figure out exactly why you do this? It costs nothing. It does not require a meal plan, a tracking app, or anything fancy or expensive.  It's one of the most extraordinarily fast and effective tools you can use, and there's a very good chance you already own everything you'd need to start tonight. I have had many clients who initially told me that this tool was not going to work for them. As they work with me, they usually find that it's become one of the most useful parts of their whole process. This tool will slow you down. It will show you the real reasons behind wanting to overeat (it's never actually random). You can then make progress towards your weight loss goal instead of just feeling the pull of a craving and eating without knowing why. In this episode, I walk you through what this tool is, why it works, why you're probably not using it even though you've heard of it before, and why the version of it that you're picturing right now is almost certainly wrong. If you've ever eaten your way through your feelings, if you've told yourself "I'll figure out why later" and never did, if you've already written yourself off as someone this won't work for, this episode is for you.

    Stop Starting Over and Start Course Correcting

    Don't miss your chance to get into the last round of No Judgment! Book your free consultation here: https://calendly.com/kathybedwardconsult/30min What is one thing that you do for yourself every day just to make yourself happy? To make your life more fun? (Please share!) One of my daily non-negotiables lately is listening to one song every day that makes me feel good. The other day it was Foo Fighters' "Learning to Fly." I put it on, then went and watched the music video, and ended up down a whole rabbit hole about the band. And somewhere in that rabbit hole, this week's episode was born. Because here's something most people don't know. Planes are off their planned course an estimated 90 percent of the flight. Not occasionally drifting. Off course almost the entire time. And they still land exactly where they meant to. Nobody watching that flight would call the pilot a failure for drifting. So why do we do that to ourselves over one off-plan meal? What if you could get to the point where being off track stopped meaning something is wrong with you, and started being just... normal? Where a hard day didn't require a Monday reset, a "clean" restart, or starting completely over? In this episode I dig into where this all-or-nothing belief actually comes from, what real course correction looks like instead, and why this one skill might change a lot more in your life than just how you eat. If you've ever had one bite of something "off plan" and decided the whole day was ruined, if you've ever quietly given up on a goal after missing it a few times, if you've ever wondered why you keep starting over instead of just continuing, this episode is for you.

    I Can't Afford Coaching - Let's Do the Math

    You've researched mattresses for three weeks straight. Read every review. Compared five brands before you'd commit. You've sat with a spreadsheet open comparing credit card rewards, or spent a Saturday afternoon test driving four different cars before signing on the dotted line. But have you ever sat down and actually calculated the return on investing in your own body? That's what I'm doing in this episode. Running the real numbers on what you actually get back when you invest in losing weight, the physical return and the mental return, because most people only think about one of those, if they think about either at all. What if you could get to the point where losing weight wasn't just about a smaller number on the scale, but about a calmer nervous system, better boundaries in every relationship in your life, and a body that works better for longer? In this episode I walk through the physical benefits most people already sort of know about, and then the mental and relational benefits almost nobody calculates, things like finally being able to say no to people without guilt, or watching the restrict-binge cycle just disappear. And I explain exactly why none of this shows up when you lose weight through a diet, and why it only shows up one specific way. If you've ever thought "I'll deal with my health later," if you've ever spent more time researching a mattress than thinking about your own body, if you've ever wondered whether this work is really worth the investment, this episode is for you.

    When Your Spouse or Family Doesn't Support Your Weight Loss

    Don't miss your chance to get into the last round of No Judgment! Book your free consultation here and let's talk about your goals and struggles: https://calendly.com/kathybedwardconsult/30min You're at dinner, feeling good about where you're at. Then your mom asks if you are really going to order the burger and shouldn't you get a salad. Or your husband orders dessert and slides it toward you, despite the fact that he knows you are trying to lose weight and weren't planning on dessert tonight. Or, even worse, he says "Oh just have dessert. I mean why bother with a diet, it's not like you're not going to lose it this time either." If you've ever felt like the hardest part of changing your relationship with food isn't the food at all, it's the people closest to you, you are not imagining it, and you are definitely not alone. What if you could get to the point where you finally understand that none of this is actually about you? And stop needing your family members to support your weight loss goals? I'm walking through the different ways spouses and family members can seem to sabotage your efforts, what's really going on underneath it (it's not what you think), and exactly what to say back, without starting a fight and without losing your resolve. If dinner with your spouse has ever felt like a negotiation, if a comment from your mom has ever derailed your whole week, or if you've ever wondered why the people who love you don't seem to want you to succeed, this episode is for you.

    The Scale Jumped 3 Pounds. What Did I Do Wrong?

    Don't miss your chance to get into the last round of No Judgment! Book your free consultation here and let's talk about your goals and struggles: https://calendly.com/kathybedwardconsult/30min You step on the scale and there it is. Up three pounds from yesterday. Your stomach drops. You start replaying everything you ate this week. Was it the pizza on Friday? The wine at dinner? Did you eat too much sodium? What did you do wrong? What if the answer is nothing? I'm walking through exactly what can cause a scale to jump like this and why a 2-3 pound jump overnight is not even physically possible from fat. But more than that, I want to get into why that number can hijack your entire day in the first place, and what it would actually take to stop letting a random Tuesday morning number decide how you feel about yourself. If you've ever canceled plans, restricted the rest of the day, or spiraled into "I already ruined it" thinking because of a scale number, this episode is going to change how you see that number for good.

    Would You Eat a Red Pepper? Why That Question Is Messing with Your Mind

    You're standing in the kitchen wondering if you're really hungry. So you run the test that's all over the internet. Would you eat a red pepper right now? Would you eat plain chicken breast? Maybe you're someone who swears by this test. Maybe you think it's ridiculous. Either way, I promise you've never heard it broken down quite like this. Why? Because underneath a simple yes or no question is something a lot bigger. The way you're asking yourself "am I hungry" is shaping how you feel about food, and about yourself, way more than you realize. Tune in for a new viewpoint on the Red Pepper Test and what it might be able to do for you. __________________________________________________________________ Book a free half-hour private call here to explore your weight loss goals and how No Judgment can help you: https://calendly.com/kathybedwardconsult/30min Please leave a review of The Scales of Wellness podcast on Apple iTunes.

    What Almond Moms, Women on GLP-1s, and You Have in Common

    Have you seen the reels on Instagram that mock almond moms? Maybe you laughed and kept scrolling. Social media has turned judging other women into a content genre. And I have a theory about why it's everywhere right now, and what's actually driving it. But that's not even the part of this episode that's going to stick with you. Because there's a question buried in here that changes everything once you actually sit with it.  Why does one comment about you roll right off your back, while another one wrecks your entire afternoon? It's not random. There's a reason, and once you see it, you can't unsee it. I'm walking through exactly what that reason is, and why it might be the single biggest thing standing between you and the life you actually want. If you've ever caught yourself rolling your eyes at another woman's choices, if a comment about your body has ever ruined your whole day, or if you've ever wondered why the same insult bothers you some days and not others, this one's going to connect a lot of dots you didn't know were connected. __________________________________________________________________ Book a free half-hour private call here to explore your weight loss goals and how No Judgment can help you: https://calendly.com/kathybedwardconsult/30min Please leave a review of The Scales of Wellness podcast on Apple iTunes.
