16. Why Tracking Your Food Feels So Hard (And How to Make it Less Overwhelming) 05/29/2026

16. Why Tracking Your Food Feels So Hard (And How to Make it Less Overwhelming) In this episode of the Balanced Body Podcast, we dive into a completely different way of thinking about tracking your food. If calorie tracking has ever felt overwhelming, obsessive, or like something you “shouldn’t” have to do in order to lose weight, this episode will help you reframe it. We’re shifting the conversation from “counting calories” to learning how to self-monitor — a skill that helps you better understand your portions, build awareness around your eating habits, and create the kind of flexibility that makes fat loss sustainable. I’m also walking you through real-life examples from my own fat loss journey, including how I handled going over my calories, navigating spontaneous family ice cream, and using simple tools like the plate method when tracking wasn’t realistic at a Friendsgiving party. In this episode, we cover: • Why tracking your food can feel so mentally exhausting (and what that usually tells us about your current nutrition foundations) • The mindset shift from calorie counting to self-monitoring, and why this changes everything • How to make tracking feel simpler with practical beginner-friendly strategies • How to navigate real life — social events, spontaneous treats, and imperfect days — without spiraling or giving up If you’ve ever thought, “I just want nutrition to feel easier,” this episode will help you understand why learning these skills now can create so much more freedom with food later. 👉 If you enjoy this episode, hit subscribe so you don't miss what's next.

15. How Pumpkin Reeses and The Mental Load of Motherhood Almost Ruined My Calorie Deficit 05/22/2026

15. How Pumpkin Reeses and The Mental Load of Motherhood Almost Ruined My Calorie Deficit In this episode of the Balanced Body Podcast, I’m sharing a very real and emotional week in the middle of my fat loss phase. Between getting back from Hawaii, scrambling to pull together Halloween costumes, a sick toddler, lack of sleep, work stress, and the mental load of motherhood, I found myself emotionally eating in a moment where I felt completely overstimulated and overwhelmed. Instead of pretending these moments don’t happen, I wanted to walk you through exactly what was going through my mind, how I handled it, and why emotional eating doesn’t make you a failure. We talk about: Why emotional eating is more common than you think The difference between self-compassion and “letting yourself off the hook” The questions I ask myself after emotionally eating Creating a “nourishment menu” of tools beyond food for emotional regulation This episode is a reminder that you do not need to be perfect to make progress, and that lasting weight loss comes from learning how to support yourself through hard seasons instead of starting over every time life gets messy. If you’ve ever felt like life keeps getting in the way of your goals, this one is for you. 👉 If you enjoy this episode, hit subscribe so you don't miss what's next.

14. How I Ease Back Into Fat Loss Without "Starting Over" Post Vacation 05/13/2026

13. I'm pregnant! Recapping my first trimester 05/07/2026

13. I'm pregnant! Recapping my first trimester In today’s episode of The Balanced Body Podcast, I’m pressing pause on our fat loss phase series to share something a little more personal—I’m officially in my second pregnancy, and today I’m taking you behind the scenes of my first trimester experience! In this episode, we cover: How I found out I was pregnant—the unexpected clues from my Oura Ring, taking the test, and surprising Isaac. First trimester symptoms & food aversions—what felt similar to my first pregnancy, what was completely different, and the foods that actually helped me feel better. Why movement became my medicine—how strength training, running, and even swimming helped reduce nausea, boost energy, and remind me why exercise is about so much more than calories burned. Motherhood, mindset, and asking for help—what being pregnant with a toddler taught me about letting myself feel, leaning on my support system, and focusing on what I can do instead of what I can’t. Whether you’re currently pregnant, planning for pregnancy, postpartum, or simply navigating a hard season in life, I hope this episode reminds you that your journey doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s. Give yourself permission to ask for help, focus on what makes you feel your best, and remember—something is always better than nothing. 👉 If you enjoy this episode, hit subscribe so you don't miss what's next.

11. The “Whoosh” Effect, Scale Fluctuations, & How To Take a Diet Break 04/03/2026

11. The “Whoosh” Effect, Scale Fluctuations, & How To Take a Diet Break In this episode of the Balanced Body Podcast, I’m recapping week 6 of my fat loss phase—and what happened after a sudden 4lb spike on the scale. If you’ve ever felt discouraged by the scale going up (even when you’re doing everything right), this episode will be a huge mindset shift. I break down what actually happened (hint: it wasn’t fat gain), what a “whoosh” is, and why temporary weight fluctuations are a completely normal part of the process. We also dive into how to approach fat loss when you have a trip coming up. I’m sharing exactly how I planned for my family trip to Hawaii, why I chose to take a diet break, and how to think about vacations without feeling like you’re “falling off track.” Plus—real life happened. From getting sick right before the trip to missing workouts and skipping my perfectly planned prep week… this episode is a reminder that fat loss doesn’t require perfection—just consistency and adaptability. If you’re someone who struggles with all-or-nothing thinking, this episode will help you zoom out, trust the process, and stay grounded in what actually moves the needle. In this episode, we cover: ✨What a “whoosh” is and why the scale can suddenly drop after a spike ✨How to approach fat loss when you have a vacation or trip planned ✨What a diet break is (and why it can help physically and mentally) without spiraling or "starting over" 👉 If you enjoy this episode, hit subscribe so you don't miss what's next.

10. The Scale is Ruining Your Consistency 03/20/2026

10. The Scale is Ruining Your Consistency In this episode of the Balanced Body Podcast, I’m diving into one of the most emotionally charged parts of a fat loss journey: the number on the scale. After taking a short break from the podcast (hello, daycare sickness season 😅), I’m back and recapping week five of my fat loss phase—where, despite doing everything right, the scale didn’t reflect my progress the way I expected. We talk about: ✨Why scale fluctuations happen (and why they’re not fat gain) ✨The mental spiral so many people experience when the number doesn’t match their effort ✨How to use the scale as a tool, not something that controls your mood or decisions ✨The importance of looking at trends (not single weigh-ins) ✨Other ways to measure progress: photos, measurements, performance, and how your clothes fit ✨Why building a healthier relationship with the scale can actually be more empowering than avoiding it altogether Most importantly, this episode challenges you to reflect on what the number on the scale actually means to you—and whether it’s the number you want… or the version of yourself you associate with it. 👉 If you enjoy this episode, hit subscribe so you don't miss what's next.

06. How to Navigate Social Eating in a Calorie Deficit (Week 2 Fat Loss Phase Recap) In this episode of The Balanced Body Podcast, I’m taking you behind the scenes of week 2 of my fat loss phase and walking you through exactly how I navigated social eating—without spiraling, restricting myself, or falling into the “I’ll start over tomorrow” trap. I break social eating down into three simple levels—beginner, intermediate, and advanced—and share the real strategies I used during a dinner out at Din Tai Fung: how I planned, how I adjusted my day, how I stayed flexible, and how I enjoyed the food without abandoning my goals. You’ll also hear why you don’t need to track perfectly (or track at all), how I think about calorie deficits without obsessing over MyFitnessPal, and the exact adjustments I made to stay aligned while still enjoying dessert dumplings… plural. ✨ In this episode, you’ll hear: The three levels of social eating strategies—and how to choose the right one for your season Why you don’t need perfect tracking, a food scale, or “my macros have to be exact” energy The mindset shift that stops the all-or-nothing spiral before it starts How I use portion awareness, pre-meal snacks, and the “one splurge” method on restaurant days How I budget calories without skipping meals or showing up starving Why walking after a meal helps with digestion, steps, and sanity My real week 2 stats: calories, protein, steps, workouts, cardio, and how I handled going ~150 calories over How to reflect on social meals so you can adjust—rather than shame-spiral—next time If you’ve ever felt anxious about eating out, guilty after social events, or frustrated because you “can’t track it perfectly,” this episode will help you feel confident, capable, and back in control—without sacrificing joy, connection, or delicious food. 👉 If you enjoy this episode, hit subscribe so you don’t miss what’s next.

05. Week 1 of my Fat Loss Phase: How I set my protocols 11/23/2025

05. Week 1 of my Fat Loss Phase: How I set my protocols In this episode of The Balanced Body Podcast, I’m taking you behind the scenes of week 1 of my fat loss phase and walking you through the exact protocols I’m using—without the perfectionism, all-or-nothing thinking, or “eat 1200 calories and suffer” vibes. I break my approach down into three simple buckets—nutrition, activity, and recovery—and share the real numbers I’m using right now: my calorie range, protein and fiber goals, step target, lifting split, cardio plan, sleep goals, and how I’m actually managing stress in this season of life as a coach, mom, and human. You’ll also hear how I track my data (without obsessing), what my week 1 weigh-ins looked like, and why the weekly average matters way more than any single “spike” on the scale. ✨ In this episode, you’ll hear: The exact protocols I’m using for calories, protein, fiber, steps, strength training, cardio, sleep, and stress How I think about health-promoting habits first—and fat loss as the bonus Why trying to overhaul everything at once feels like bringing home a newborn (aka totally overwhelming) How I use weekly averages (not daily perfection) to assess progress My real week 1 stats: calories, steps, workouts, cardio, and the ~0.9 lb change on the scale If you’re tired of feeling like fat loss means misery, obsession, or “starting over on Monday,” this episode will help you see how focusing on simple, consistent protocols can change your body and make your life feel better at the same time. 👉 If you enjoy this episode, hit subscribe so you don’t miss what’s next.

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 10/30/2025

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.
