    We Don't Talk About Gluttony Enough

    In this episode, I'm talking about something that almost nobody wants to touch: gluttony. And no, I'm not just talking about overeating. I'm talking about overconsumption in every form — food, social media, productivity, shopping, stimulation, achievement, validation, even "treat yourself" culture. Because the truth is, most people aren't actually struggling with a lack of discipline. They're struggling with emotional dysregulation, constant distraction, and an inability to sit still with themselves. We live in a culture that profits from our impulsivity and overstimulation. And for high-performing women especially, overconsumption often looks less like laziness… and more like perfectionism, overworking, emotional eating, chronic productivity, and tying your worth to performance. In this episode, I break down: What gluttony actually is (and the subtle modern version of it) Why our culture normalizes overconsumption The high-performer version of gluttony Emotional eating, overstimulation, and nervous system dysregulation Why achievement and productivity can quietly become idols The difference between comfort vs peace and fullness vs fulfillment What self-control and moderation actually look like The uncomfortable question you need to ask yourself: What are you using consumption to avoid? This episode is part nutrition, part mindset, part nervous system conversation, and part spiritual reflection. If you constantly feel overstimulated, emotionally exhausted, disconnected from yourself, or trapped in cycles of excess, I think this conversation will hit home.   Guides & 1:1 COACHING 1:1 Coaching Application: https://www.ahubnutrition.com/coachingapplication Fat Loss Starter Kit: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/fatlossstarterkit No Brainer Fat Loss Checklist: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/fatlosschecklist Join the email list: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/x8208kqszl FIND ME ON IG: https://www.instagram.com/ashleighmariehubbard/  IG: https://www.instagram.com/ahubnutrition/  IG: https://www.instagram.com/thewellnessdiariespodcast/

    Rock Bottom Had Really Good Lighting Actually w/ Marina Haddad

    This episode is a conversation about what happens when you stop running on autopilot. We talk about burnout, always needing to stay busy, chasing external validation, and how disconnected you can become from yourself when your life is built around productivity and performance. We also get into comparison, creating a life that actually feels good to you, solo travel, healing after heartbreak, and rebuilding from the ground up. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, emotionally checked out, or like you've been avoiding stillness at all costs, this episode will probably hit home.   Marina's IG: https://www.instagram.com/itsmarinasilva/   Guides & 1:1 COACHING 1:1 Coaching Application: https://www.ahubnutrition.com/coachingapplication Fat Loss Starter Kit: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/fatlossstarterkit No Brainer Fat Loss Checklist: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/fatlosschecklist Join the email list: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/x8208kqszl FIND ME ON IG: https://www.instagram.com/ashleighmariehubbard/  IG: https://www.instagram.com/ahubnutrition/  IG: https://www.instagram.com/thewellnessdiariespodcast/

    Food, Doomscrolling, Emotional Avoidance, and the Habits Keeping You Disconnected From Yourself w/ Brian Bidanjiri

    In this episode, I sit down with health and fitness coach Brian Bidanjiri to talk about the deeper side of transformation — the part most people avoid. We get into his journey from alcoholism, emotional eating, and smoking weed daily to losing nearly 100 pounds and rebuilding his life through fitness, structure, and self-awareness. But this conversation goes far beyond weight loss. We talk about using food for comfort, dopamine addiction, doom scrolling, emotional avoidance, relationships, identity, and why so many people stay stuck even when they "know what to do." If you've ever felt like you're constantly distracting yourself, negotiating with yourself, or looking for comfort instead of actually dealing with what's underneath… this episode will hit home.    Brian's IG: https://www.instagram.com/brian.bidanjiri/?g=5   Guides & 1:1 COACHING 1:1 Coaching Application: https://www.ahubnutrition.com/coachingapplication Fat Loss Starter Kit: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/fatlossstarterkit No Brainer Fat Loss Checklist: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/fatlosschecklist Join the email list: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/x8208kqszl FIND ME ON IG: https://www.instagram.com/ashleighmariehubbard/  IG: https://www.instagram.com/ahubnutrition/  IG: https://www.instagram.com/thewellnessdiariespodcast/

    Confidence Is Earned, Not Felt w/ Marci

    This episode is about the gap between who you know you are… and how you're actually showing up. We dive into how repeated dieting attempts can quietly erode your self-trust, why confidence comes from keeping promises (not chasing motivation), and how your daily habits either reinforce or contradict your identity. We also challenge the narratives around "food noise," hormones, and quick fixes—and bring it back to what actually moves the needle. If you're ready to stop starting over and start becoming someone you can rely on, this one's for you.   Marci's IG: https://www.instagram.com/marcinevin/   Guides & 1:1 COACHING 1:1 Coaching Application: https://www.ahubnutrition.com/coachingapplication Fat Loss Starter Kit: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/fatlossstarterkit No Brainer Fat Loss Checklist: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/fatlosschecklist Join the email list: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/x8208kqszl FIND ME ON IG: https://www.instagram.com/ashleighmariehubbard/  IG: https://www.instagram.com/ahubnutrition/  IG: https://www.instagram.com/thewellnessdiariespodcast/

    The Link Between Your Nervous System, Habits, and Healing w/ Katie Mackey

    In this episode, we're getting into the stuff most people avoid—your nervous system, your emotions, and the patterns you keep repeating even though you know better. Katie shares how she hit a breaking point in her late 20s—burnt out, dealing with injuries, feeling completely disconnected from her body—and how that forced her to rebuild everything from a different angle.  We talk about: Why your body holds onto more than you think How stress and unprocessed emotions show up physically Why you keep defaulting to the same habits (even when you don't want to) And the part of "healing" that no one really wants to do Because the truth is… you can't think your way out of patterns your body is still holding onto. This episode isn't here to coddle you. But it will help you understand yourself better so you can actually move differently. If you feel like you've been doing all the "right" things but still not getting anywhere…this one's for you.   Marra Movement Membership: https://www.marramovement.com/membership Katie IG: https://www.instagram.com/marramovement/   Guides & 1:1 COACHING 1:1 Coaching Application: https://www.ahubnutrition.com/coachingapplication Fat Loss Starter Kit: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/fatlossstarterkit No Brainer Fat Loss Checklist: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/fatlosschecklist Join the email list: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/x8208kqszl FIND ME ON IG: https://www.instagram.com/ashleighmariehubbard/  IG: https://www.instagram.com/ahubnutrition/  IG: https://www.instagram.com/thewellnessdiariespodcast/

    Root Cause Over Bandaids: Hormones, Mold, and the Truth About Metabolism w/ Lacey Dunn RD

    If you've ever been told your labs are "normal" while still feeling miserable, this episode is for you. Registered dietitian and functional medicine specialist Lacey Dunn joins us to share her deeply personal health journey — from self-induced hypothyroidism during her bodybuilding days to battling mold toxicity, SIBO, Lyme disease, and more — and how those experiences shaped her root-cause approach to healing. We dig into why so many women are dismissed by conventional medicine, how hormones like thyroid, cortisol, estrogen, and insulin silently sabotage weight loss efforts, and why popping peptides or HRT without fixing your foundations is like painting over a cracked wall. Lacey also breaks down the rise of mold toxicity and mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) — two conditions affecting far more people than most realize — and explains why your environment, gut health, and nervous system may be the missing pieces your doctor never thought to check. This is a conversation about asking why, not just what — and what it really takes to heal from the inside out.   Lacey's IG: https://www.instagram.com/faithandfit/   Guides & 1:1 COACHING 1:1 Coaching Application: https://www.ahubnutrition.com/coachingapplication Fat Loss Starter Kit: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/fatlossstarterkit No Brainer Fat Loss Checklist: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/fatlosschecklist Join the email list: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/x8208kqszl FIND ME ON IG: https://www.instagram.com/ashleighmariehubbard/  IG: https://www.instagram.com/ahubnutrition/  IG: https://www.instagram.com/thewellnessdiariespodcast/

    Your Needs Are Not an Inconvenience

    Marci and I are back and this one covers a lotttt of ground. We're talking about why you should stop apologizing for asking for what you need.. whether that's packing your own food for a flight or making a specific request at a restaurant. You're allowed. We also got into simple meals and how even basic food can feel like a full experience when you pay attention to texture, temperature, and flavor, the reason so many people are addicted to chaos, why being bored is actually good for you, and the power of pausing before you react to a feeling or thought. Lots of good stuff in this one. Come ready to think. :)   Marci's IG: https://www.instagram.com/marcinevin/   Guides & 1:1 COACHING 1:1 Coaching Application: https://www.ahubnutrition.com/coachingapplication Fat Loss Starter Kit: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/fatlossstarterkit No Brainer Fat Loss Checklist: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/fatlosschecklist Join the email list: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/x8208kqszl FIND ME ON IG: https://www.instagram.com/ashleighmariehubbard/  IG: https://www.instagram.com/ahubnutrition/  IG: https://www.instagram.com/thewellnessdiariespodcast/

    After everything we've covered in this series, this is the episode that brings it all together. You are not missing discipline. You are not missing capability. And you do not need more information. In this final episode, I'm recapping the real patterns that keep high-achieving women stuck, what it actually takes to change, and why the version of you who can do this has been there all along. Now it's just time to apply her here too.   Guides & 1:1 COACHING 1:1 Coaching Application: https://www.ahubnutrition.com/coachingapplication Fat Loss Starter Kit: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/fatlossstarterkit No Brainer Fat Loss Checklist: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/fatlosschecklist Join the email list: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/x8208kqszl FIND ME ON IG: https://www.instagram.com/ashleighmariehubbard/  IG: https://www.instagram.com/ahubnutrition/  IG: https://www.instagram.com/thewellnessdiariespodcast/
