Welcome to At Peace With Me—a podcast dedicated to guiding you on a journey toward inner calm, self-compassion, and intentional living. Formerly known as Finding Myself Through Obesity, this podcast began as a personal exploration of self-discovery through the lens of weight loss. As the journey unfolded, it became clear that true well-being encompasses more than physical transformation; it involves emotional healing, mindfulness, and embracing one’s authentic self. This evolution inspired the rebranding to At Peace With Me, reflecting a broader commitment to inner peace.

    Episode #46 - I never learned to trust myself.

    In today’s episode, I’m talking about having more gratitude, and realizing that I’ve never learned how to trust myself. Trusting myself is a decision that I can make. Because all of us have the ability to get answers to our own truth.

    Episode #45 - When your life feels like a nightmare.

    Today’s episode is an update and also about a meditation that i did where I felt my life would be a nightmare to my younger self. I talk about some possibilities of why I’ve felt so lost and lonely and why I haven’t known what to share. Life doesn’t ever go as expected. I am learning that I want to be OK with that. I do believe that life happens for you. We just have to take responsibility and do the things that it takes to heal and move forward.

    Episode #43 - Food is the only thing I’ve ever had control over.

    Welcome to my podcast! I am on a healing health journey but I don't want to just diet and gain it all back again.  I want to really figure out why I am eating.  What am I lacking in my life?  What is food doing for me?  What is food covering up and protecting me from?  I want to discover what I am currently believing?  Where did I learn that belief? What do I want to believe and share the journey of how I am going to change my thinking around those issues so that I can start having a healthier relationship with myself.  In turn it may naturally help me develop a healthier relationship with food.

I was born and raised in St George Utah. I’m 43. Mom of 4. Wife for 25 years to my high school sweetheart. I’m a singer and performer. I’ve struggled with my weight since I’ve been married. So a big part of my story and learning was through my experience of losing 85 pounds that I documented on YouTube in 2018. Then I gained it all back after having some emotional trials come up for me and my family. I was filled with shame and depression especially where I lost weight so publicly. I was constantly wishing that I would figure out how I could get myself back onto a Weightloss plan. But I couldn’t get myself to do it. I couldn’t even eat good for more than two days. I was scared to lose weight just to gain it back again. So I decided to start a podcast documenting my journey of losing weight a new way. By using breath work, meditation, mindfulness, digging deeper into the beliefs that I have been holding me back. I’m focusing on healing inside so that I can release the weight. I always say that fat people know how to lose weight. They know how to restrict their diets. They know how to lower their carbs. What we haven’t been taught how to do….. is how to love ourselves and listen to ourselves …. Especially through moments of uncomfort. Learning how to show up for life and not be afraid to fail. Learning how to embrace our imperfections. How do we celebrate ourselves? How do we learn how to value who we are without others validating us? I am hoping that once I heal the emotional weight I’ve been holding on to…. that my outer appearance will mirror and heal too. I am documenting the process on my podcast and I am so excited to see what I learn about myself and also how I could possibly help others who are in the situation that I’m in which is being obese, but wishing they weren’t. Wanting to be healthy but not knowing how to stop eating.
