    175. How To Always Stay Motivated (The Honest Truth)

    Let’s be honest — motivation is the first thing to disappear the moment life gets busy. You start the week strong, but by Wednesday, your schedule’s packed, you’re exhausted, and you find yourself skipping workouts and eating whatever’s in front of you. In this episode, I’m breaking down how to stop treating motivation like a feeling that just comes/goes and start seeing it as something you can create for yourself anytime you need it. We’ll talk about how to build real momentum that lasts, without forcing yourself to rely on willpower or perfection. This episode will help you redefine motivation, take the pressure off, and finally make consistency feel doable again. Here’s what we get into: -How to stop relying on “feeling motivated” and start creating structure that makes follow-through easier (even when you don’t want to) -Why the way you talk to yourself matters more than the plan itself, and how to turn self-criticism into the encouragement that keeps you consistent -How to make your habits automatic, so eating well and moving your body feels as natural as brushing your teeth  Apply for 1:1 Coaching: Ready to lose 10-20 pounds while eating foods you love? My 1:1 coaching program is designed to help women of color like you ditch restrictive diets and eat your cultural foods to keep the weight off for good.

    174. Your Version of Consistency Is "Too Perfect"

    Your version of being consistent is “too perfect.” Lemme explain— You tell yourself you’ll workout 5x this week, when really your time only allows for 2x a week, but that’s not “enough” for you, so you skip it and try again next week. You plan your meals and try to eat healthier, but it’s basically the same thing over and over, when deep down all you want is your favorite cultural foods. In your head, consistency means going hard, eating boring foods, and being strict with yourself. This cycle is keeping you stuck. In this podcast episode, I share an IG live I did on how to get out of your head with this unrealistic expectation, so you can start seeing pounds come off.

    173. When Your Weight Stops You From Living The Life You Want

    Your weight isn’t just about how your body looks. It’s about how much space it takes up in your mind, the way it makes you second-guess going out with friends, hide in the back of group photos, or dread family events because you already know someone is going to comment on your body.In this episode, I open up about how much mental energy weight and dieting used to steal from me, how it kept me from being fully present in moments that should’ve been joyful, and how everything shifted when I stopped dieting and started doing this the sustainable way. Here's what I covered: -Why weight and dieting can make you miss out on experiences, even when you’re physically present. -How cultural body comments from family can cut deep and what shifts when you know exactly what you want for your body. -Why you don’t have to wait until the weight is gone to feel good in your body and start living your life right now.

    172. 3 Beliefs You Need to Lose Weight Permanently (Without Another Diet)

    Most of the women of color I coach have already downloaded the free PDFs, signed up for cookie-cutter workout programs, and tried every workout split they could find — and yet, they still feel stuck. The thing that finally shifted everything wasn’t another plan. It was when they started believing differently and seeing their weight loss journey in a new way. Cause here's the thing... you can have the “perfect” plan on paper but if your mindset is still tangled up in old diet rules, fear of failing again, or chasing perfection, you’ll keep finding yourself back in the same start-and-stop cycle. In this episode, I break down the three beliefs you need to start practicing right now if you want to lose weight permanently. We talk about: -Why telling yourself “this time is different” changes how you approach food, workouts, and setbacks. -The identity shift of becoming someone who always gets it done — no matter how busy or imperfect the day is. -The freedom that comes from letting yourself be a beginner again, instead of beating yourself up for not being “further along.” Apply for 1:1 Coaching: Ready to lose 10-20 pounds while eating foods you love?

    171. How To Follow Through For Real This Time

    You don’t actually have a starting problem. You’ve taken the before pictures, bought new gym clothes, and felt motivated as heck on the first day, but after a while, that spark goes away. The real challenge for you is following through once it's no longer exciting AND when life gets busy.  In this episode, I get into: -Why high-achieving women (especially women of color) keep overpromising — setting goals that sound good on paper but never fit real life. -How treating your weight loss like a rigid template backfires the moment your mom calls with errands, work piles up, or your cultural foods show up at the table. -What actually makes the difference between another restart and finally creating momentum that sticks. If you’re tired of pouring energy into fresh starts but never seeing the follow-through, this is your episode. Apply for 1:1 Coaching: Ready to lose 10-20 pounds while eating foods you love?

    170. Why Skipping Breakfast Is Keeping You Stuck

    You probably think skipping breakfast is helping you save calories or “be disciplined,” but the truth is… It’s keeping you stuck in the exact same cycle you’ve been trying to break free from. In this episode, I get real with you about why intermittent fasting is glamorized in diet culture and why it backfires for women—especially women of color who are balancing demanding jobs, family, and cultural food traditions. Here’s what we cover: -How fasting triggers the restrict–overeat cycle -Why skipping meals disconnects you from hunger cues -The stress response that keeps your body from losing weight If you’ve been fasting, restarting, and wondering why the scale won’t budge, this conversation is going to show you why it’s not working and what to do instead.

    169. Let's Talk About: "I Love Food Too Much That's Why I Can't Lose Weight"

    You don’t have to stop loving food to lose weight. In fact, the more you lean into that part of you, the easier weight loss becomes and in this episode, I will shift your mindset to help you see why loving food is actually one of your biggest strengths for long-term weight loss.  Here’s what we dive into: -Why chasing bland “diet foods” backfires and how eating what actually satisfies you keeps you full and consistent. -How to stop letting food be the only source of satisfaction and lean into the whole experience—conversations, connection, the vibe. -Loving foods allow you to intentional food choices (and how to use that to hit your goals without restriction). By the end of this episode, you’ll start to see how your love for food isn’t the reason you’re stuck—it’s actually the reason you can finally make this sustainable.

    168. Your Reset Is Setting You Back, Here's What To Do Instead

    If you’ve ever told yourself, “I’ll just start fresh on Monday, OR I just need a reset and I'll be good," this episode is for you. Resets feel like a good thing in your weight loss journey because it gives you the illusion of starting from a 'clean slate' with no mess up, no excuses. It also gives you a hit of motivation after a weekend of eating off-plan or skipping workouts. But here’s the truth, resetting is what keeps you in the loop of starting over; it's a mentality that's consistently sabotaging your progress. In this episode, I break down: -Why your brain keeps reaching for resets (and why it feels so good in the moment) -How the reset cycle is perfectionism in disguise -The skill you actually need to build if you want to lose weight and keep it off -What to do next time you miss a workout, eat off-plan, or have a chaotic week So tune in because this time, you’ll walk away seeing your “off” days differently and know exactly what to do instead of starting over.
