04. How I'm Preparing For My Fat Loss Phase
In this episode of The Balanced Body Podcast, I’m opening up about what happens before a fat loss phase — the prep work that makes everything easier, more sustainable, and a lot less chaotic. From wrapping up my postpartum fat loss in May, to choosing a summer at maintenance, to rebuilding routines and awareness before re-entering a deficit — this is the behind-the-scenes of how I set myself up to follow through when life is busy (hello, toddler snacks and wedding travel). This episode is part strategy, part mindset shift, and a reminder that you don’t have to live in a calorie deficit to make progress. Building foundations first is what protects your energy, your sanity, and your results. ✨ What you’ll hear in this episode: How I used biofeedback to know it was time to pause fat loss (and why ~16–20 weeks is my sweet spot) Why I chose a summer at maintenance — and didn’t lose progress The “awareness → foundations → fat loss” approach I use with clients before any deficit Three simple strategies I used to navigate emotional eating with a toddler around If you’ve ever felt ready for change but overwhelmed by everything you “should” do, this episode will remind you to start small, build awareness, and let the foundations carry you into fat loss when the time is right. 👉 If you enjoy this episode, hit subscribe so you don’t miss what’s next.

03. My Postpartum Fat Loss Journey--How I got back to my pre-pregnancy weight without bounce back culture
In this episode of The Balanced Body Podcast, I’m opening up about one of the most transformative parts of my journey: postpartum fat loss. From gaining 45 pounds during pregnancy, to navigating sleep deprivation, anxiety, and postpartum insomnia, to slowly rebuilding my strength and confidence — this is the real story behind my journey, without the pressure to “bounce back.” This episode is part reflection, part reality check, and a reminder that postpartum fat loss doesn’t have to mean rushing to get your old body back. It’s about healing, rebuilding, and learning how to take care of yourself in this new season of life. ✨ What you’ll hear in this episode: Why I don’t believe in “bounce-back culture” and how I approach fat loss differently How I navigated gaining 45 pounds during pregnancy and accepted my postpartum body What my body taught me when I tried to diet too soon How nervous system healing, therapy, and slowing down changed everything The foundational habits that made sustainable fat loss possible later on If you’ve ever wondered when you’ll “feel like yourself again,” this episode will remind you that she’s still in there — just evolving, healing, and taking things one step at a time. 👉 If you enjoy this episode, hit subscribe so you don’t miss what’s next.

02. Unpacking My Binge Eating Disorder & How I Healed My Relationship With Food
In this episode of The Balanced Body Podcast, I’m opening up about one of the hardest parts of my journey: my struggle with binge eating disorder. From hiding candy wrappers in college, to using late-night pizza and drinks as a “permission slip” to binge, to zoning out at the pantry after long days of teaching — this is the side of my story I’ve never fully shared. This episode is part memoir, part confessional, and a chapter of how I went from shame and secrecy around food to finding freedom through therapy, coaching, and building a healthier relationship with myself. If you’ve ever felt out of control with food, stuck in “last chance syndrome,” or trapped in the restrict–binge cycle, you’ll relate to this one. ✨ What you’ll hear in this episode: How binge eating first showed up in my life (and why I didn’t recognize it) The difference between therapy and coaching in healing my relationship with food The strategies that helped me stop zoning out at the pantry and start tuning in to my needs What recovery really looks like — the highs, the setbacks, and the breakthroughs I hope my story makes you feel less alone and shows you that recovery isn’t about perfection — it’s about progress. 👉 If you enjoy this episode, hit subscribe so you don’t miss what’s next.
