    Ep 46: Why You're On Autopilot (And Don't Even Know It)

    Ever feel like your day just... happened to you? Like you blinked and suddenly it's 8pm and you can't even remember what you ate for lunch? In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on something that came up during the very first Self-Sabotage Solution cohort meeting with Coach Meryl. One of our members, Katryna, said something that stopped the whole group in its tracks: she feels like her days run away from her. She's not present for them. That's autopilot, and it's not just mindless eating or finishing a whole sleeve of Pringles before you even register you opened the bag (we've all been there). It's how your brain is wired to build neural pathways so it doesn't have to work as hard, well worn trails instead of paved roads. Helpful sometimes. Sneaky other times. We talk about where those autopilot patterns come from (hello, childhood coping mechanisms), why the habits that used to serve you might not serve you anymore, and the simplest tool I know for switching it off: a few intentional breaths. Two to five breaths is enough to wake up your thinking brain and hand the choice back to you. If you've ever wondered why you know exactly what to do for your health and still don't do it, this one's for you. Want support figuring this out in real time? That's exactly what we're building inside the Self-Sabotage Solution cohort. Reach out: Website - www.lauralcoaching.com Email - laura@lauralcoaching.com FB - https://www.facebook.com/lvinger?mibe...

    Ep 45: Stop Trying to Be Perfect and Start Doing This Instead

    You know what you should be doing. So why aren't you doing it? If you've ever found yourself stuck in that cycle... starting strong, falling off, and wondering what is wrong with you... this episode is for you. I break down why self-sabotage isn't a character flaw, a willpower problem, or proof that you're lazy. It's actually your brain doing exactly what it's designed to do. Once you understand that, everything changes. In this episode you'll learn: Why high-achieving women are especially vulnerable to this cycleThe real gap between knowing what to do and actually doing itOne simple tool (the pause) that can shift everythingIf you're tired of starting over, this is your episode.

    Ep 44 PCOS is now PMOS. Why does this matter?

    Welcome back to the show and episode 44. I’m Coach Laura, and this is where we talk about the stuff that actually matters when it comes to your health…not the noise, not the trends, the real thing. PCOS just got a new name. And I know what you might be thinking: “great, another rebrand that changes nothing.” This one is actually different. This one changes the questions we ask, the labs we run, and honestly... the way a lot of women have been seen, or not seen, by the medical system for decades. I’m going to break the whole thing down for you today. What the new name is, what each word in it actually means, and why “Metabolic” might be the most important word anyone has added to this conversation in a very long time. Stick with me. This one’s worth it. Reach out for coaching or with questions Website - www.lauralcoaching.com Email - laura@lauralcoaching.com FB - https://www.facebook.com/lvinger?mibe...

    Ep 43: You’re Solving the Wrong Problem

    You’re not inconsistent. You’re following a plan that was never built for you. If you feel like you “know what to do” but can’t seem to follow through, this episode will show you what’s actually going on. Most people I work with hold themselves to a high standard in almost every area of their lives. But when it comes to nutrition and training, that standard quietly drops. Not because they don’t care, but because of where their information is coming from. In this episode, I break down why relying on social media for fitness and nutrition advice keeps you stuck, even when you feel motivated and informed. We talk about why consistency breaks when life gets busy, and what’s actually happening when you “fall off.” I also share a simple real-life moment that shows what consistency really looks like when things aren’t perfect.

    Ep 41: Fat Loss Doesn’t Show on the Scale

    In this episode, I talk about the critical difference between weight loss and fat loss, and why confusing the two keeps so many people stuck, frustrated, and questioning their efforts.  For most people, the scale is the primary way they measure progress. It becomes the judge. The decision-maker. The emotional trigger that determines whether they believe they’re succeeding or failing. But the scale is one of the least accurate ways to measure real health progress. If this episode resonated with you, share it with someone who’s been frustrated by the scale. And if you’re ready to focus on real progress using the data that actually matters, you can apply for coaching by reaching out: Website - www.lauralcoaching.com Email - laura@lauralcoaching.com FB - https://www.facebook.com/lvinger?mibe...
