    Ever feel like life is throwing every curveball your way and totally knocking you off your weight loss journey? Oh trust me, I GET IT. But what if those obstacles aren’t actually roadblocks but legit detours nudging you towards your next big breakthrough? In today’s episode, I’m sharing one of the most powerful mindset shifts I teach inside Mindful Weight Loss Academy—how to turn your setbacks into stepping stones. We’re talking about ditching the “why me?” mindset, taking back your power, and seeing obstacles as the exact turning points that lead to growth, healing, and real transformation. I’ll get personal about my own story: like losing a pregnancy, struggling with infertility, and how those twists actually led me to some of my biggest wins (hello, Ezra!). Plus, I’m breaking down how this mindset shift can change your journey…whether you're stuck in a plateau, dealing with stress eating, or just feeling off track. If you keep feeling stuck, stalled, or straight-up frustrated with your progress, this episode is your must-listen. We’ll talk reframes, pivots, curiosity over control, and how to rewrite your own freaking story. The obstacle you’re facing right now? It just might be the catalyst for your next breakthrough. Remember: you’re NOT the victim of your journey—you’re the author of your comeback. Ready for a new chapter? Press play and let’s turn those detours into your turning point. xoxo, Jackie MORE FROM JACKIE:  > 🙌🏻 Ready to Sustainably Lose Weight WITHOUT Counting Calories? I’ll show you how in 3 easy steps!

    87. What REALLY Works for Weight Loss Over 40 with Kim Schlag

    Okay, let’s be honest—no one told us that one day we’d be googling things like “what the hell is perimenopause?” or “why do I want to eat my weight in Nutella at 3 a.m.?” If you’ve noticed your body changing in your 30s, 40s, or beyond (hi, night sweats, random joint pain, and mood swings for days), THIS is the episode you needed yesterday. I brought back the amazing Kim Schlag—nutrition coach, personal trainer, and total menopause truth-teller—to break down what really happens when hormones start doing their wild thing (spoiler: it’s not just about weight gain!). Kim gets real about her own hot flash horror stories (can you say changing clothes 12 times a night?!), the tools that help, and why this can actually be the best stage of your life (seriously). This episode is packed with truth bombs, real talk, and science-backed strategies to help you stop starting over. If you’ve ever felt lost in the “what now?!” maze of midlife, pull up a chair, grab your coffee (or a cold towel 😉), and press play! xoxo,  Jackie Connect with Kim: Instagram: kimschlagfitness Podcast: Fitness Simplified with Kim Schlag Website: www.kimschlagfitness.com MORE FROM JACKIE:  > 🙌🏻 Ready to Sustainably Lose Weight WITHOUT Counting Calories?

    86. Life’s Too Short to Diet Forever: What Losing My Grandma Taught Me About Health & Aging Gracefully

    Ever wonder what you’ll be like at 90? (Personally, I plan to be a cute grandma in a hip little outfit, still dancing at weddings and holding babies.) If you’re here for a long, healthy, joyful life (not just a smaller body), this episode is for you. Today, I’m getting super real and opening up about my Grammy Z’s passing, the life lessons she handed me, and how I want to live (and age gracefully!) with intention. We’re skipping the step-by-step meal plans and routines. This one’s a heart-to-heart: what actually matters when you zoom out and look at the big picture. You’ll hear how she lived a full 90 years (hint: it wasn’t from dieting), and how I’m rethinking everything from self-care to legacy. If you’re taking care of aging parents, grieving a loved one, or just feeling like you’ve put yourself last for too long…this episode is your wake-up call. This isn’t just about weight loss. It’s about your life and how you want to live it, gracefully. xoxo, Jackie MORE FROM JACKIE:  > 🙌🏻 Ready to Sustainably Lose Weight WITHOUT Counting Calories? I’ll show you how in 3 easy steps!

    85. How Rebecca Lost 10 Pounds by Breaking All the Rules - “I’ll Never Diet Again!”

    Ever feel like you’ve tried everything to lose weight—Weight Watchers, willpower, the “just don’t buy snacks” approach, and still end up bingeing on pretzels at 10 p.m. wondering what’s wrong with you? So did Rebecca. In today’s episode, I sit down with Rebecca, a busy single mom of two from LA and a total success story from Mindful Weight Loss Academy (although let’s be real…once a client, always a client ). We’re talking about the moment she hit diet rock bottom, the inner tug-of-war between “I can’t spend money on myself” and “I’m so over this struggle,” and how she finally said YES to herself...after almost walking away. (Spoiler: she said NO after our first call—and then came back a month later ready to change her life.) Rebecca shares her raw and honest journey: from years of yo-yo dieting and late-night binges, to finally finding food freedom through mindfulness and intention. We’re talking about the mindset shift that made food stop controlling her, how she went from snack-obsessed to truly satisfied, and the life-changing non-scale victories she’s celebrated—like having energy for her kids, finally loving her body, and ditching diet culture for good. Real talk: if you’re tired of feeling out of control around food, obsessed with your weight, or convinced you’re just “bad” at healthy eating, you need this episode in your life. Rebecca proves there’s a better way—and it has nothing to do with points, perfection, or “starting over.” Whether you’re on the fence about joining MWLA or you’re just sick of feeling like you’re “failing” at food, Rebecca’s story will leave you inspired, empowered, and maybe even a little emotional.

    82. Can You Really Eat Ice Cream Every Night AND Still Lose Weight? The Truth About Macros with Amber Brueseke

    Ever wondered if counting macros is just another restrictive diet—or if it could actually help you feel more empowered in your weight loss journey? This episode will give you major clarity. In today’s guest episode, I’m joined by the incredible Amber Brueseke—mom of four, former RN, personal trainer, and founder of Biceps After Babies. Amber is living proof that your fittest days can come after babies (and yes, even in your 40s), and she’s here to challenge everything you think you know about dieting and sustainable weight loss. We’re breaking down how macro counting isn’t about eating less—it’s about eating smarter. Amber shares how she used data, not deprivation, to align her nutrition with her goals (and why she ate ice cream every night and still got abs). From building muscle to feeling energized, we talk about using food as a tool—not a punishment—and how to ditch the “all-or-nothing” mindset that keeps so many women stuck. Amber breaks down the difference between using macros as a tool vs. treating them like another restrictive diet, how to get out of the all-or-nothing mindset, and why your “fittest self” might still be ahead of you (even in your 40s, 50s, and beyond). One of my favorite parts of this episode is when Amber introduces the “macro scientist” mindset—where curiosity replaces judgment and numbers become neutral. Whether you’ve been burned by calorie counting in the past, feel stuck in all-or-nothing thinking, or you’re deep into your mindful eating journey—this conversation offers a fresh, freeing perspective on what’s actually possible. xoxo, Jackie CONNECT WITH AMBER: Instagram: @biceps.after.babies Podcast: Biceps After Babies Radio Website: Bicepsafterbabies.com  MORE FROM JACKIE:  > 🙌🏻 Ready to Sustainably Lose Weight WITHOUT Counting Calories?
