    Here is Why You Can’t Hate Yourself Skinny with Melissa Parsons

    In this episode, we’re talking all about the pitfalls of trying to hate ourselves into a “better” body. Spoiler: it doesn’t work! My lovely guest, Melissa Parsons, a fabulous life coach and former pediatrician, joins us to share why self-love—not self-punishment—is the real key to happiness and lasting transformation.  Melissa opens up about her journey, sharing how years of self-criticism never led to real joy or confidence. Instead, she learned that the secret sauce to becoming your “favorite you” isn’t forcing yourself to fit a certain mold. She says that focusing on small acts of kindness for yourself (like giving yourself five guilt-free minutes to unwind) is the foundation for true change. We dive into why it’s so important to stop “burning ourselves to keep others warm.” For so many of us, it’s all about pleasing others, even if it means ignoring our own needs. But Melissa reminds us that putting yourself on the list—yes, YOU!—isn’t selfish; it’s actually the most caring thing you can do. When we’re filled up, we show up as better friends, partners, and moms. Tune in to today’s episode to learn all about:  How the “fill your own cup first” mindset makes you better at showing up for othersWhy putting others first isn’t always as caring as it seems—and what to do insteadHow shifting from self-criticism to self-kindness could help you reach your goals, without the burnoutWhy carving out five peaceful minutes for yourself each day is more impactful than you might think And by the way, mama: if you want to stop the hate AND lose weight, it’s a thousand percent possible for you. Let’s have a chat. My calendar is open for a call where you can ask any and all questions you want about the Yummy Mummy Experience. So get your booty over to my scheduler now to book a free consultation with me and see if this program is your next right step!  Resources from the episode: Connect with Melissa on her websiteFacebookInstagram Hosted on Acast.

    How I Accidentally Figured Out The Secret to Weight Loss

    Hey babes! We're diving into a topic that I think is such a game-changer when it comes to weight loss.  So, let me take you back 10 years---imagine me, totally nailing my diet Monday through Thursday, only to lose control every weekend. I'd drop two pounds by Thursday, then gain it right back by Monday. Sound familiar? It wasn't until I looked at my pattern (and trust me, I had 15 years of it!) that I realized something critical: the typical "80-20" rule just didn't cut it for me. And doing 98-2? Ugh, it felt like zero fun, which is basically against my life philosophy!  I needed a new way to fill my "pleasure cup" that didn't involve food. That led me on a journey to find true pleasures -- things that light me up during and after, like taking walks with friends, going to yoga, or having a dance party with my team.  One of the best parts of this discovery?  I learned how to build a life filled with "delicious dopamine" that doesn't rely on cupcakes or cocktails. This type of true pleasure is sustainable and way more satisfying than temporary food highs.  But how do we start filling our days with things that bring us joy so we can finally lose weight for the last time? Listen in and learn more about: How to break the cycle of dieting and overeatingWhy "80-20" doesn't work for everyone and what to do insteadWhat will finally stop those late-night pantry raids  And by the way, mama: if you're ready to learn how to consistently build more joy into your life and stop compensating with food, let's have a chat.

    Why We’re Boredom Eaters and How to Stop

    Hey, friends! I am SO excited to be here in my “bougie” Halloween tee – it’s a ghost with a Stanley mug and fanny pack – the works!  In today’s episode, we’re tackling the ultimate roadblock for so many of us: boredom eating (or as I like to call it, pantry pacing). Whether it’s boredom, procrastination, or just plain habit, we're diving into why we eat out of boredom and the best strategies to break free. Do you ever find yourself randomly fridge-gazing in the middle of the day? I totally get it! We’ll explore how to spot those cues and the differences between actual hunger and "I’d rather be eating than tackling my to-do list." Plus, as a special treat, I reached out to my Yummy Mummy program clients to share their “before” stories as boredom eaters and their “after” success stories! We’ll get into their tips about how they curb boredom without derailing their goals – and you can, too. And hey… sometimes boredom eating is just procrastination in a really good costume. So I’m sharing about tools and tricks to stop putting things off – whether it’s a snack or that 8-minute task that’s been haunting you for weeks. Check out today’s episode to hear all about how to: Get honest with yourself about whether you’re eating for fuel or as a mental break, and explore other ways to rechargeFind healthier "band-aid" alternatives to curb unnecessary snacking while working on deeper hunger awarenessShift your entertainment focus from food to fulfilling social connections or creative hobbiesEstablish a clear daily schedule that prioritizes rest and pleasure first, reducing the urge to snack from stress or fatigue Oh and mama, here’s one last thing: if you’re ready to explore the mindset work that goes into creating weight loss that lasts, let’s have a chat.

    All Things Ozempic

    Hey, lovely! This episode, we’re diving headfirst into the big, juicy topic that everyone seems to be whispering about lately: Ozempic, GLP-1s, and weight loss meds.  You’ve probably heard about Ozempic everywhere — at happy hours, in friend circles, maybe even in your own conversations. If you’ve been curious about whether these meds are a miracle fix or just another trend, spoiler: It's not a "yes" or "no" answer! And if you’re anything like me, you want a clear perspective and space to form your own thoughts about it, right? So let’s talk about it. Like any tool, it has its pros and cons. You might have heard it being called a “magic pill,” but the truth is, these meds can be helpful for some and tricky for others. They’re not a root solution, and pairing them with lifestyle work like what I teach in the Yummy Mummy Experience is key. My hope is that by the end of this episode, you’ll have a fresh perspective on whether this path resonates with you or not. Finding true confidence and self-love comes with a reminder: there’s no “right” path, just the one that brings you closer to living as your best self. You deserve to weigh what feels right for you — with or without meds. Tune in to hear more about: My stance on Ozempic and weight loss medsWhy healing emotionally is crucial to lasting weight lossTools that can help you create deep healing and build emotional resilienceThe importance of dropping guilt, judgment, or shame whether you use weight loss medications or notStories of clients who tried Ozempic but ultimately chose lifestyle change as their main strategy And mama, here’s one last thing: if you’re ready to explore the mindset work that goes into creating weight loss that lasts, let’s have a chat.
