• How Old Stories Keep Us Stuck and What to Do About It

  Have you ever found yourself saying, ‘I’ve tried everything, and nothing works’? Maybe you’ve been on this rollercoaster for years—you start with the best intentions, make a little progress, and then somehow, it all falls apart. Before you know it, you’re back where you started, wondering what went wrong. It’s frustrating, it’s exhausting, and honestly? It makes you want to throw in the towel and say, ‘What’s the point?’ Sound familiar? But what if the real problem isn’t you? What if it’s the story you’ve been telling yourself about who you are and what you’re capable of? What if this old, worn-out script—things like ‘I always fail’ or ‘This is just how I am’—isn’t true at all, but it’s the very thing keeping you stuck? In today’s episode, we’re going to unpack how these old stories take root in our minds, why they feel so safe and familiar (even when they’re holding us back), and most importantly, how to rewrite your narrative so you can finally start moving forward. I’ll share practical steps to shift your mindset and show you how small changes can lead to big breakthroughs. So, are you ready to let go of the stories that no longer serve you and uncover fresh possibilities for your future? Let’s go! https://confidentbody.coach/tips/ BOOK: You Are A Miracle

• Why the Scale Feels Stuck—and How to Move Forward

  Have you ever stood on the scale and thought, "How is this even possible?" You’ve been eating pretty well—sure, there are treats here and there—but nothing extreme, right? Yet, the number keeps creeping up. It feels unfair, frustrating, and honestly, a little defeating. Do you find yourself thinking, "I shouldn’t weigh this much. I haven’t done anything wrong!"? It’s a thought that seems innocent enough, but it might be holding you back more than you realize. In today’s episode, we’ll explore: Why that “I shouldn’t weigh this much” thought feels so valid, but also why it backfires. The sneaky ways it can keep you stuck. And how you can shift your thinking toward a more empowering narrative—one that helps you take control and start moving forward. So, are you ready to release resistance, reframe your reality, and reclaim your confidence? Let’s dive in!   https://confidentbody.coach/tips/ BOOK: You Are A Miracle

• Stop Waiting to Live Your Life

  Have you ever found yourself standing on the scale, holding your breath, as if that number could somehow declare your worth? Maybe you’ve thought, “If I could just lose these last 10 pounds, then I’d finally feel confident, happy, or good enough.” But let me ask you this: At the end of your life, do you think anyone—your kids, your partner, your best friend—will sit around reminiscing about what you weighed? Or will they remember the way you made them laugh so hard they couldn’t breathe, the warmth of your hugs, and the memories you created together? Here’s the thing: when we fixate on the scale, we miss out on the life that’s happening right now. We pour so much energy into what we’re not—not skinny enough, not fit enough, not “there” yet—that we forget to appreciate everything we are. It’s like spending your entire road trip staring at the GPS and grumbling about how far you still have to go, instead of looking out the window at the breathtaking scenery all around you. What’s worse, constantly focusing on where you’re not actually makes the journey harder and longer. Why? Because when you’re fixated on your perceived shortcomings, it’s exhausting and discouraging. That mental weight can keep you stuck, feeling like progress is out of reach. In today’s episode, we’re unpacking what really matters in life. Weight loss isn’t the destination—it’s just one of many tools you can use to build a life you love. We’ll talk about: How to start living fully today, no matter your size. Why being present beats striving for perfection every single time. And how letting go of your obsession with the scale can create more space for joy, connection, and freedom. So, are you ready to shift your mindset, savoring the moment, and celebrating what truly matters? Let’s go!  https://confidentbody.coach/tips/ BOOK: You Are A Miracle
