Ep 255: 5 Keys to Weight Release Consistency

Thin Thinking Podcast

Hey friend, Let’s talk about consistency for a moment. Because real consistency isn’t about never getting off track. It’s about knowing exactly what to do when you do—and getting yourself back on track quickly, calmly, and without all the drama. In this upcoming podcast episode, I’m walking you through five key steps that do exactly that. Think of it like this: You’ve been driving on that old, exhausting highway—start, stop, guilt, frustration, repeat. This episode helps you build a bridge to a new road of consistency—one that supports momentum, weight release, and long-term...

Ep 254: Hacks for 3 Serious Winter Weight Gain Challenges

Thin Thinking Podcast

Winter has a way of showing us the challenges we managed to avoid during the summer. January rolls in with colder temperatures, darker mornings, comfort-food cravings, and routines that suddenly feel much harder to maintain. If you’ve noticed your motivation dip or your consistency feel shaky, I want you to hear this clearly: It’s not that you’re failing. It’s that winter demands a different approach. When hibernation mode kicks in, movement naturally decreases, energy feels lower, and it can start to feel like your progress is slipping away. That’s exactly why I recorded this new...

Ep 253: Your Long-Term Weight Mastery Mindset for 2026

Thin Thinking Podcast

The beginning of a new year often brings pressure. Pressure to reset. Pressure to undo the holidays. Pressure to “get serious” about weight—fast. But before you jump into another plan, rule, or reset, today’s episode invites you to slow down and look at what actually determines long-term success. Because lasting weight mastery doesn’t start with food, exercise, or willpower. It starts with your relationship with yourself. In this episode, we focus on reconnecting with you—so your weight journey in 2026 isn’t another cycle of starting strong and fading out, but a grounded,...

Ep 252: Holiday Wishes and Healthy Imprints Meditation

Thin Thinking Podcast

Happy holidays, my friend! As this year comes to a close, I wanted to offer you something different in today’s podcast episode—not advice, not a to-do list, and definitely not another promise you don’t actually want to keep. This episode is a gentle, guided meditation designed to help you close out the year with gratitude and step into the new one feeling healthier, lighter, and more aligned—without pressure, punishment, or “new year, new you” energy. Think of this episode as a quiet moment just for you and your health. No batteries required. No assembly needed. Whether you’re...

Ep 251: Avoid Emotional Eating this Holiday Season

Thin Thinking Podcast

Emotional eating during the holidays… anyone else feeling it already? If the season brings up stress, pressure, nostalgia, or that familiar pull toward food for comfort—you’re not alone. And you don’t have to white-knuckle your way through it either. In this latest podcast episode, I’m sharing my best practices and mindset shifts for moving through the holidays peacefully, intentionally, and deeply connected to yourself—without guilt, restriction, or the all-or-nothing spiral. So grab that mistletoe…and maybe leave the peppermint bark at the door, and come on in! ...

Ep 250: PTSD Effects on Weight Issues with Joanne Williams

Thin Thinking Podcast

Have you ever noticed that when your stress is high, everything feels off? Your hunger cues, your digestion, your energy… even the way you talk to yourself? There’s a reason for that — and it’s not because you’re doing anything wrong. In this week’s Thin Thinking Podcast episode, I sat down with PTSD expert Joanne Williams for a powerful conversation about what happens when the brain gets stuck on high alert. When our nervous system is constantly bracing for impact, it affects everything from our gut health to our emotional eating patterns — often leaving us with shame,...

Ep 249: Our Annual ZERO Regret Holiday Baking Episode

Thin Thinking Podcast

It’s here! There is something so magical about baking during the holidays. Even if we barely touch an oven the rest of the year, somehow December arrives and suddenly we’re whipping up cookies, breads, pies, and all the nostalgic treats that make the season feel whole. For many of us, baking is connection—time with friends, time with family, or simply the joy of creating something delicious for people we love. Inside, I’m sharing my very best slimming baking strategies—the ones that let you enjoy the traditions, the scents, the flavors, and the fun… without letting your...

Ep 248: 3 Decisions Thanksgiving Meditation (Thanks TR!)

Thin Thinking Podcast

Happy Thanksgiving! Let’s be honest for a moment… This weekend is basically the Olympics of old family patterns, emotional eating triggers, and conversations you definitely did not sign up for—sprinkled, of course, with a little gratitude. So I thought: What better time to share something powerful I brought home from Tony Robbins’ Unleash the Power Within last month? If Tony can get people walking on fire (yes, including me!), then surely we can get through Thanksgiving without diving headfirst into the stuffing bowl. In this week’s podcast episode, I’m breaking down one of...

Ep 247: Managing Social Anxiety with Brad Robinson

Thin Thinking Podcast

So many people in our Thin Thinking community aren’t just navigating weight, food, and mindset… they’re also carrying quiet anxiety under the surface. And as the holidays approach—with the social events, family expectations, food everywhere, and the pressure to be “on”—that anxiety can really kick into high gear. That’s why I am so excited about this week’s Thin Thinking Podcast episode with Brad Robinson, creator of the Anxiety Project Podcast. Brad and I dive into the kind of practical, grounded tools you can start using immediately—perfect for this season when your...

EP 246: Thin Thinking Reads: Wild Things: A Geography of Grief

Thin Thinking Podcast

Some conversations invite us to slow down. To breathe differently. To step out of the rush of our lives and into the quieter places we often avoid — the ones where grief, memory, and healing wait patiently for us to catch up. Today’s episode is one of those conversations. My guest, Barbara Wansbrough, didn’t set out to write a book about grief. She set out to take a walk — one that eventually led her through forests, along coastlines, and into the tender terrain of losing her sister. The result is Wild Things: A Geography of Grief, a breathtaking collection of letters...
