Discover my best menopausal weightloss advice and insights.
If you’ve ever eaten when you weren’t hungry and then immediately been hard on yourself about it, this bonus recording is for you.
In this recording, I coach women through what happens when an urge to eat shows up, how to recognize the difference between physical hunger and an emotional urge, and why simply becoming aware of what is happening in your brain can be such an important first step.
We talk about the thoughts that can create urges, why being tired or stressed can make it harder to recognize emotional hunger, and how you can begin managing those thoughts instead of automatically acting on them.
But one of the biggest things I want you to take away from this conversation is this: you have to be nicer to yourself.
Being hard on yourself doesn’t make change easier. Learning to treat yourself like your own best friend can change how you feel, how you respond to urges, and ultimately how you relate to food.
I also teach the three-minute process for calming a craving: feel the urge, notice and measure it, and then manage the thought creating it.
This is a coaching-focused bonus recording, so you’ll hear real questions and examples from women working through these patterns in real time.
Enjoy the show!

If you’re struggling to lose weight in menopause, you may have asked yourself this question more times than you can count.
You know you’re not physically hungry. You know you’ll probably regret eating it. And yet, the urge is still there.
What if that urge isn’t a failure of willpower?
On Day 1 of my live master class, I want to help you understand what may actually be happening when you feel driven to eat.
We’ll look at the difference between physical hunger and emotional hunger, how thoughts can create urges to eat, and why food noise can feel so powerful even when your body doesn’t need food.
I’ll also introduce the hunger and fullness scale and show you why I encourage women to learn what it feels like to eat between the “twos” instead of waiting until they are extremely hungry or extremely full.
And there’s one question I want you to start asking yourself: Why do you eat when you are not hungry?
That question changed my life 20 years ago, and it can change the way you think about your relationship with food, too.
This isn’t about judging yourself for overeating. It’s about becoming curious about what is happening in your brain and learning that an urge doesn’t have to control what you do next.
The food doesn’t cause the urge. The thought you’re thinking creates the urge. And once you begin noticing those thoughts, you can begin to respond to them differently.
This is Day 1 of the Master Class, in Day 2, I will take this one step further and teach you a simple technique for calming a craving in three minutes.
So if you’ve ever felt like you should be able to control yourself around food but just can’t, don’t stop with Day 1, join me for Day 2.

If you’ve been struggling with food urges and wondering whether a GLP-1 is the answer, this episode is for you.
The more I learn about GLP-1s, the more I see how closely some of what they address connects with the ThINNER Peace process I created almost 20 years ago. The difference is in how we get to the brain.
I share the story of a client who put a polished stone into a jar every time she experienced an urge to eat when she wasn’t hungry and managed that urge without eating. As the jar filled, she had visible proof that she was learning something she once believed she couldn’t do.
That is the kind of brain training I want to teach you.
I’m also inviting you to my free masterclass, Train Your Brain With or Without a GLP-1, where I’ll help you understand what may be driving food noise and introduce you to a new technique for calming a craving.
Whether you’re considering a GLP-1, have decided you don’t want one, or are already taking one and want to understand more about what is happening with your urges, I want you to know there is a way forward.

What You’ll Learn From This Episode
If you’ve ever told yourself that a birthday, holiday, vacation, or celebration is a reason to overeat, this special birthday episode is for you.
I love birthdays, and I love being intentional about what I want for the year ahead. This year, one of my intentions is to feel my own value, worth, and beauty without question.
That got me thinking about how we treat ourselves on the very days that are supposed to be about celebrating us.
I share a birthday story involving my grandchildren and a birthday cake, along with two client stories that made me look more closely at the reasons we make certain food choices. Sometimes we call overeating a gift. Sometimes we eat something because we don’t want to disappoint someone else.
I want you to ask yourself a simple question: Do you actually like your reason for choosing this food?
You can choose a treat and enjoy it. But I don’t want you to plan to overeat or use food to disconnect from your body. Especially when you’re celebrating yourself, I want you to honor your body, your decisions, and your own worth.
Enjoy this special birthday episode!

What You’ll Learn From This Episode
If you’ve spent years trying to lose weight, only to find yourself going up and down within the same range, this episode is for you.
I talk about a game many women have been playing with their weight for years without even realizing it. You have a number you don’t want to go above, a number you want to reach, and a range in between where your brain decides it’s okay to relax.
I share how I played this game myself for 30 years and why menopause can make it harder to keep playing. Instead of focusing on losing weight, I challenge you to accept where you are and start paying more attention to what’s happening in your body.
Eat when you’re hungry, stop when you’re full, understand emotional hunger, pay attention and become more connected to your body.
What if the answer isn’t trying harder to lose weight, but learning to understand what’s keeping you stuck?
