LISTEN NOW.
ps. The upcoming LAST 10 program start date is right around the corner.
WE'RE GETTING STARTED ON: TUESDAY, JULY 5.
*The deadline to enroll is Thursday, June 30th at 11:59pm.If you're over trying to do this alone and you're ready have THE BEST, most specialized coaching support for this area of your life.
One major reason that it can feel like you so desperately want to just eat at the end of the day in order to decompress (even if you're not actually hungry- often called night time eating or emotional eating)- is because WHAT YOU ARE ACTUALLY NEEDING IS:
TO CALM YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM.
A lot of women find themselves eating late night because their nervous systems are still activated from that day -- in fact, for many of us (*me included!) -- our nervous system is activated DAILY in our modern day world. Even multiple times on any given day.
I hear this a lot...
"Brenda, I know that overeating is keeping me from my goal, but I just don't know ANY other way to unwind. Nothing else seems to work. It feels like ONLY food can give me just get a little bit of relief from EVERYTHING."
I want you to know that ALL of this makes SO MUCH SENSE. Also know: there IS a solution.
I recently heard somewhere (*I can't remember where or I’d quote it) --> that the average person TODAY hears more news in ONE DAY, then we used to hear in a year. 
As soon as I heard that, I thought to myself, Holy shit. Yes. That completely makes sense. Our brain wasn’t necessarily wired for the way that our modern-day life is set up these days... (*but again, there are solutions...)
This doesn’t have to be a problem.
There are SO MANY options for you.
Here's what you'll learn (and feel like a PRO at) in this episode:
-you'll understand your brain, your body, particularly your nervous system and your stress cycles SO much more.
-you'll feel able to calm your nervous system (ie. self-soothe) in a way thats actually effective AND aligned with the kinds of changes and results you are wanting to create in your life.
-you'll change your long-standing belief that FOOD is the only, and best form of 'relief' so that you can actually change your behaviors and day-to-day choices (*especially, when you're feeling stressed!)
-you'll be able to actually believe that there are SO MANY MORE, and EVEN BETTER options when it comes to navigating even the most challenging seasons of life. (*good-bye sabotage!)
-you’ll leave the episode knowing AT LEAST 12 NEW WAYS for calming your nervous system (*self-calming, feeling calm) that are NOT food.
-you'll understand what it means to 'diversify' and WHY this really, really can make ALL the difference.
-you'll feel and be more equipped then ever to care for yourself and your nervous system in a way that is truly an UPLEVEL. We're all about the upgrades. You deserve it.
You def don't wanna miss this one.
LISTEN NOW.
I mean, who doesn't right?!
Well, you'd think that was the case...
but so many women feel nervous, worried, fearful, and mistrusting of themselves because they don't believe they have the ability to ENJOY a vacation without 'total sabotage', without 'blowing it'.
[*ESPECIALLY as the world continues to 're-open' post covid, so perhaps you haven't been as accustomed to traveling for a while... ]
A lot of women don't believe it's actually possible to maintain a weight they feel good at WHILE ALSO traveling or vacationing as much and as often as they want to in their lives.
IT IS POSSIBLE.
But if it FEELS impossible, I get it.
For the longest time, travel without weight gain felt pretty much impossible for me, also.
Summer vacations and travel used to be a guaranteed:
-mental & emotional struggle
-tons of sabotage
-sooo much overeating that I ended up feeling physically sick and uncomfortable as a result of my 'F-it I'm on vacation' mentality.
The emotional roller coaster of losing and gaining weight, plus the physical discomfort of overeating to that degree used to take so much away from my travel/vacation experiences.
I know I wasn't alone. Millions of women (*the majority) have these experiences that steal joy from their vacations and experiences, each year.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
You deserve to enjoy your vacations and your world travels:
WEIGHT DRAMA FREE. FOOD DRAMA FREE.
When I travel now or have an upcoming vacation I can just be excited and ENJOY- because I have total peace.
TOTAL TRUST. TOTAL CONFIDENCE.
(no more food worries. no more weight worries.)
I know this is what you are wanting for yourself as well.
(...it's what I SO desperately wanted!).
In this episode I teach you HOW to shift from 'F*ck-it' vacation thinking, OR Perfectionism (*vacation weight-gain FEAR, which also leads to increased emotional eating) to A *NEW * and completely different approach.
What I teach you in this episode is what allowed me to finally ENJOY my travels without the weight gain, sabotage or weight struggle.
It's what YOU can experience, as well.
THIS is how you deserve to enjoy your travels and vacations this summer.
No struggle. No sabotage.

Physical Autonomy (as a skill) is a VERY big deal.
It's also THE THING that sets apart THE LAST 10 method from anything else out there.
When you have learned and developed PHYSICAL AUTONOMY as a skill...
-You can say NO to the things that you WANT to say NO to. (meaning, no more eating out of obligation or for fear of making someone 'feel bad')
-You can say YES to the things that you WANT to say YES to. (for example, the 12 pounds that you definitely want to lose- but you feel like you 'shouldn't' be so vain... or you're terrified of what your friends might think if they actually knew how much this matters to you...)
- You can make the decisions that you WANT to make for YOUR body- without feeling like you need to explain yourself, or hide, or apologize.
-You can take any food approach/strategy and tailor make it into your own. And never feel like you are 'dieting' ever again.-You can follow through on the kinds of decisions that you know will create the results you're wanting, without feeling restricted or deprived.
And get ready- because There’s NOTHING vanilla about this.
THIS CONCEPT IS BOLD.
It's a POWER STANCE.
Developing the skill of Physical Autonomy enables you to do exactly what you want to do. (ie. lose the weight you want to lose, change habits you want to change, etc) in a way that feels POWERFUL.
*The lack of Physical Autonomy results in: eating things out of obligation, being afraid or ashamed to have the goals you want, feeling restricted and deprived about your food choices, lack of motivation, resentment AND MORE.
AUTONOMY is defined as: the right to self-govern.
Physical Autonomy means...
HAVING THE RIGHT - AND THE ABILITY - TO MAKE ANY DECISION WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR BODY.
And yet, so much of our socialization as women (for generations, for centuries, and even millennia!) get's in the way of us feeling the FREEDOM AND POWER that we actually have when it comes to our own bodies.
In this episode you'll learn:
-What the heck is Physical Autonomy
-WHY it matters
-What it allows you to do (*or not do)
-A review of women's history, in order to help us understand why we can feel so alienated from our bodies and/or why it can feel so challenging to be completely unapologetic in the decisions we make in regards to our bodies.
-The simple steps of Physical Autonomy (*as a skill)YOUR BODY. YOUR CHOICE
PERIOD.
... And I know it doesn't always feel this way. (FOR DECADES it didn't feel this way for me either!)
Learning PHYSICAL AUTONOMY as a skill, has allowed me to eliminate 'the struggle' from this area of my life.
And to experience FREEDOM & POWER, instead.
If I can develop this as a skill, so can you.
I promise you that.
LISTEN NOW.
There’s literally only 3 skills you need.
I know that it can feel like losing ‘the last 10 pounds’ is only for a select few. It’s not.
Your weight loss can be made simple just by learning a process and THESE 3 SKILLS for losing weight.
These 3 skills make losing your weight and being DONE with the struggle more simple and approachable than ever.
AND YES, it's true- There’s TONS of approaches out there for losing weight.
THIS ONE is the most effective AND empowering.
In this episode: MENTAL FLEXIBILITY.
Mental flexibility is defined as the ability to change your course in thinking.
It's the process of uncovering the thoughts, beliefs, & perspectives that are keeping you stuck NOW and then also paired with the ability to be FLEXIBLE with approaching things a different way.
When you've learned the skill of MENTAL FLEXIBILITY, you then have ability (the mental flexibility!) to decide HOW you want to think and WHAT You want to believe. And this matters because ALL of your decisions (behaviors, actions) are determined by your thinking (aka your brain).
No matter what you’ve been thinking or believing up until now, Mental Flexibility is a skill that can be developed.
I break down the two things that allow our HUMAN BRAIN to develop Mental Flexibility as a skill -- Neuroplasticity and Metacognition.
HERE'S THE THING: When you feel like you’ve tried LITERALLY every single ‘diet’ and you end up sabotaging in the same ways - or ‘nothing works’ - that's because your decisions (which create your results) will ultimately, always be determined by your core beliefs (including your self concept) and your thinking.
There’s no getting around it.
Regardless what food approach you want to use or implement (*I can tell you that your 'food approach' matters the LEAST) IF you want to change any habits of overeating, emotional eating, sabotaging, lack of commitment, or quitting on your goal - you’ve gotta change YOUR THINKING.
Changing your beliefs and you thinking REQUIRE MENTAL FLEXIBILITY.
When you learn and develop the skillset of MENTAL FLEXIBILITY:
-You can literally follow ANY food plan you choose.
-You can lose the amount of weight that YOU decide you want to lose.
-You will feel unstoppable about your goal, EMPOWERED, and IN the drivers seat of THIS area of your life
(*important note: It's also a skill you'll NEED in order to MAINTAIN those results once you've created them)
THIS ONE SKILL SET ALONE will change the trajectory of your weight loss journey no matter how frustratingly stuck that you feel right now - or for how long - you've felt this stuck.
If you learn (and master) THIS ONE SKILL it will be 100% WORTH IT.
Mental Flexibility is a skill.
And just like any other skill, it must be learned.
(*that's the best news btw! because people aren't just 'born with it'. And this also means that if you don't have it YET, you can simply DEVELOP IT)
There is literally NO WHERE ESLE. No other coach. No other program, that teaches this the way that I do.
It worked for me, and it's worked for 100's of my clients. (you've heard them on the podcast!)
You CAN do this.
It CAN be simple.
LISTEN NOW.
But weight loss can be simple.
There’s literally only 3 skills you need.
I also know that you think that losing ‘the last 10 pounds’ is only for a select few. It’s not.
Myself and TONSSSSS of my clients that have been able to lose the weight we had wanted to lose AND ALSO put an end to the mental/emotional struggle with weight and food- just by learning a process and THESE 3 SKILLS for losing weight.
These 3 skills make losing your weight and being DONE with the struggle more simple and approachable than ever.
AND YES, it's true- There’s TONS of approaches out there for losing weight.
THIS ONE is the most effective AND empowering.
It actually changes your life.
In this episode I take a deep dive into one of the 3 core skills [EMOTIONAL COURAGE)] and tell you why THIS ONE skill alone is worth learning.
(I'll be talking about the other 2, in the upcoming episodes...)
When you learn and develop the skillset of EMOTIONAL COURAGE:
-You can literally follow ANY food plan you choose.
-You can lose whatever amount of weight you desire.
-You will feel unstoppable about your goal, EMPOWERED, and IN the drivers seat of THIS area of your life
THIS SKILL is what you need in order to lose the weight you want to lose.
It's also a skill you'll need in order to MAINTAIN those results that you worked so hard to create
I am not kidding you, or exaggerating, when I say to you that :
--> It is WORTH joining the LAST 10 program and learning THE LAST 10 method, JUST to learn THIS one skillset.
THIS ONE SKILL SET ALONE will change the trajectory of your weight loss journey no matter how frustratingly stuck that you feel right now - or for how long - you've felt this stuck.
If you learn (and master) THIS ONE SKILL it will be 100% WORTH IT.
Hands down, THIS skillset is what allowed me to change my relationship with food COMPLETELY.
Which then, allowed me to finally lose ALL the weight I had been wanting to lose.
If you make it YOUR JOB to learn and develop and master this ONE skill then you'll be able to say... goodbye, weight struggle! HELLO RESULTS.
I’ve been asked SO many times, 'Brenda, what made the biggest difference for you?'
And my answer IN SHORT IS ALWAYS THIS:
EMOTIONAL COURAGE.
Emotional Courage is a skill.
It's more than a weight loss skill (although you WILL lose the weight!)- it's a life skill.
And just like any other skill, it must be learned.
(*that's the best news btw! because people aren't just born with it. And this also means that if you don't have it YET, you can just DEVELOP IT)
There is literally NO WHERE ESLE. No other coach. No other program, that teaches this the way that I do.
It worked for me, and it's worked for 100's of my clients. (you've heard them on the podcast!)
YOU CAN DO THIS.
THIS WILL WORK FOR YOU.
LISTEN NOW.
Like so many women, you likely have moments of feeling exhausted, fatigued, burned out, or just plain depleted...But the thing most women don't know is that feeling tired, does NOT need to end up in nighttime eating, comfort eating, or sabotage.
Believe it or not, I feel tired too!
- I'M A MOM (enough said!)
- Run my own business.
- Sole financial provider in our family.
- Co-chair Latinx coaches community.
AND MORE.
The list goes on. I'd be lying if I said I never felt tired.
And I KNOW that you also have your own VERY important roles and responsibilities.
Here's what's important to remember:
YOU ARE HUMAN.
Not a robot.
Not a machine.
And the truth is that reaching for a bag of your favorite munchies or chocolate doesn't fix anything.
Emotional Overeating of any kind can NOT address or 'solve for' the issue of being overworked and physically tired.
INSTEAD, THERE ARE TWO SIMPLE, EFFECTIVE STRATEGIES THAT ACTUALLY WILL SOLVE YOUR EXHAUSTION & FATIGUE.
And they solve it without ANY of the sabotage.
In fact, the 2 things I teach you in this episode are actually known for ALSO supporting (and even accelerating) your weight loss efforts.
I teach you these 2 simple, and TOTALLY DOABLE strategies in this episode of the Last 10 Podcast.
You'll be able to stop sabotaging (especially night time eating!).
You'll feel recharged and refreshed (instead of eternally depleted).
You'll have new breakthroughs in your weight goals - INSTEAD of - feeling stuck on the 'I eat at night cuz I'm burned out and exhausted' so I don't lose weight hamster-wheel.
*AND MOST IMPORTANT You'll UPLEVEL the way you take care of YOU in your life.
Plus, let's not forget: you'll actually be even MORE able to show up for ALL the roles and responsibilities in your life that matter so much to you BECAUSE you uplevel the way you take care of you.

In this episode I share with you a recent experience and WHY it matters so much for me to have dedicated the time, energy and attention to change and EMPOWER this area of my life that has to do with my weight, my body, and my relationship with food.
You'll learn exactly WHY IT MATTERS FOR YOU ALSO, and why not only is it worth your time, energy and effort, but WHY YOU DESERVE IT.
When it comes to weight loss, what you’ll mostly hear it things like- you gotta be ‘more disciplined'...
What I’ve found in my MANY YEARS doing this work (I've been running the last 10 program for 5 yrs now!) and what I’ve found is actually true: is that THIS area of your life needs a total self-love overhaul.
You can’t build empowerment and freedom on judgment and shame.
So the process that you use to lose the weight you want to lose MATTERS.
You can’t hate yourself into results that FEEL amazing.
(We know this because it hasn’t worked for you in all these years - hating myself was never effective for me either!)
You gotta give yourself MORE love and support.
NOT less.

Spring is in full bloom. Summer is around the corner.
The weather is warming up, which means, less clothes and more skin!
The shorts start to come out, tank tops, and of course bathing suits.
It’s essential that as you are losing weight, and you continue to have personal breakthroughs with your specific weight loss goals (whether you’re on route to losing 75lbs or 7) that you know that feeling unapologetically confident, secure and comfortable in your own skin and body - comes from your mind- NO MATTER WHAT YOU ARE WEARING.
(Contrary to popular belief, unapologetic body confidence does NOT come from the number on the scale or the size tag on a particular skirt)
Being able to feel Unapologetic Confidence in ANYTHING that you chose to wear (no matter how short the shorts, or how skimpy the bathing suit!!) comes from HOW YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT YOUR BODY.
This episode- we're revisiting a conversation with master style coach and expert focused on swimsuit mindset. We talk about ALL things swimsuits as we're gearing up for the warmer months of the year, and preparing for upcoming summer vacations.
We take a deep dive into: shopping for swimsuits, wearing swimsuits, developing your own unique style, and how to actually feel confident and comfortable in your swimsuits.
As you listen to this episode, apply ALL of the topics and concepts discussed to other summer garments and items including:
- shorts, skirts, tank tops and all the sleeveless things.
You'll be able to apply all of the teachings to ANY of the clothing items that you don’t feel confident enough to wear, or even if you do work up the 'nerve' to actually wear it, you spend most of the time feeling uncomfortable, insecure (at best) -OR- constantly internally critical and deeply inadequate (at worst).
THIS TOPIC IS IMPORTANT.
YOU DESERVE TO ENJOY WEARING THE THINGS YOU WANT TO WEAR THIS SPRING & SUMMER.
And this doesn’t mean you can’t have a goal to lose weight.
You get to gave whatever next-level weight loss goal you want, my sister!
But let’s make sure you’re approaching your weight loss in a way, where you ALSO develop the most DELICIOUS, unshakeable, LIFE-LASTING UNAPOLOGETIC BODY CONFIDENCE.
So that you are able to truly ENJOY wearing whatever the heck you want to wear FOR A LIFE TIME.
(This summer, and ALL future summers to come!)
One of the TOP things that will keep you from arriving to your weight goal is: quitting on yourself because you feel impatient.
In this episode, we take a deep dive into HOW TO STOP QUITTING ON YOURSELF when getting to your goal is taking longer then you think it should (or longer then you wanted!)
And why it matters so much to BE PATIENT vs impatient.
You’ll hear real-life examples from my amazing client Erica.
After struggling with weight and food for DECADES, she arrived at exactly her goal weight.
And she didn’t just lose her last 27 pounds that had felt impossible. She also developed a trust with herself and a love for herself, that she believes was worth this process taking however long that it needed to take.
THE REQUIREMENT TO ARRIVE AT YOUR GOAL:
BEING PATIENT with yourself and your body.
Not quitting on yourself because ‘it’s taking too long’ or ‘it’s not happening as fast as I want it too’.
The most ineffective thing you can do if you want to arrive at your goal is to quit on yourself because you’re feeling impatient, or deciding that your goal ‘isn’t possible’ just because creating the changes you wanted was taking longer then you thought it would.
This one is a MUST listen.

If you've been a listener of the podcast for a year or more.
This one is for you.
(but even if not, MAKE SURE TO LISTEN)
As women we've been socialized to (1) care about every single aspect of our physical appearance, to be constantly critical of it AND ALSO (2) that caring about how we look is vain, superficial, and shallow.
BOTH.
Whaaat?! It makes no sense. 
It's no surprise then that for MOST women (3 out of 4, in fact) there’s so much emotional suffering , stuck-ness and confusion that happens in this area of our lives.
Well, we're going to change that dammit. (!!!)
Your relationship with your body impacts ALL areas of your life → thus, it is NOT shallow, or superficial, or lame, or 'selfish' or vain to spend time and energy improving it-
BECAUSE DOING SO, IMPROVES YOUR WHOLE LIFE.

(I was the same btw! I would lose and gain the same 30-50 pounds over and over. exhausting!)
What I breakdown in this weeks podcast episode is the answer to one of the TOP QUESTIONS I GET:
'Brenda I know how to LOSE weight, but I can't freakin figure out how to keep it off- help me!'
If any of that resonates with YOU-
Then listen, sister. I created this episode just for you.

Growing this ONE SKILL put an end to me re-gaining weight (and I had been regaining weight FOR DECADES like it was my damn job!)
This skill will help YOU keep, ENJOY and sustain the weight loss results you've worked so diligently to create-
LISTEN NOW
Do you struggle with feeling deprived?
Do you end up 'eating stuff' that's keeping you at your current weight (aka NO weight loss) BECAUSE YOU FEEL DEPRIVED?
I've got the solution for you.
It's NOT TRUE that you have to give up your goal, in order to stop feeling deprived.
It's ABSOLUTELY POSSIBLE for you to lose exactly the weight you want to lose AND ALSO STOP FEELING DEPRIVED.
Listen to this podcast episode to learn the antidote for ANY feelings of deprivation.

And this socialization goes deep, we've most definitely been programmed to think this way. Not only that, but our brain also defaults to whatever the most ‘efficient’ way of thinking about things, so it LOVED putting things into ‘easy’, quick categories.
Here’s what ALL of this means for YOU and YOUR WEIGHT LOSS GOAL:
It can be SO EASY to feel like a failure.
It can be SO EASY to feel like you’ve failed and to feel shame and deeply flawed.
→ Then when you’re feeling like you just can’t seem to lose the weight you want to lose and/or it’s taking too damn long- ALL OF THESE THOUGHTS AND EMOTIONS ARE WHAT LEAD TO QUITTING AND SABOTAGE.
The quitting and the sabotage, then lead to stuckness and struggle
THIS IS WHY IT IS SO INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT to be onto yourself for any binary assessment, evaluation or judgment of your results.
I see this all. the. time. (and I experienced it myself for 2 decades!)
Someone will have a goal of losing 35 pounds-
and then proceed to lose 28 of those 35 pounds in 6 months (that’s more than a pound per week!) BUT THEN feel like a FAILURE for ‘not getting to my goal’.
The craziest part is THIS:
Because that person is feeling like a failure… they will start to tell themselves that ‘it’s not working’ (although it is!) and then STOP doing what IS working.
Start going back to the habits that create weight gain.
ALL BECAUSE THEY ARE JUDGING THEIR MEASURABLE RESULTS IN A BINARY WAY.
THE SOLUTION?
NON-BINARY SUCCESS EVALUATION.
You have to CHOOSE TO SEE what IS working, what you ARE doing.
You have to CHOOSE TO SEE (and celebrate!) the results and changes you HAVE created.
You have to teach your brain to STOP making your success BINARY.
Meaning: STOP thinking about yourself and your goals in a way that if you don’t hit your exact goal in the exact timeline that you had in mind ---> then you think of yourself as a failure, and you think of yourself as ‘having failed’.
The reason that I am able to CONTINUE every year creating breakthrough after breakthrough is because I REFUSE TO EVALUATE MY RESULTS IN A LIMITED BINARY WAY.
THIS mindset is exactly what allowed me to put an END to my weight struggle, and have breakthroughs ALL the way to the results I was wanting- NO MATTER HOW LONG I HAD STRUGGLED- and no matter how much learning and de-conditioning of habits and behaviors had to happen along the way.
The reason I'm always able to EXPAND MY ABILITIES, MY CAPACITY and MY RESULTS (with any goal, but including my weight goal) is this:
- I don’t set expiration dates on my goals.
I absolutely set dates, and I have timelines for my goals… BUT *IF I don’t ‘hit it’ by the time I thought that I would, I don’t make it mean it’s not possible or that I’m not capable - instead I CHOOSE TO FEEL PROUD for ALL THE NON-BINARY SUCCESS up to this point thus far.
I REFUSE TO EVALUATE MY MEASURABLE RESULTS in a LIMITED BINARY WAY
→ I LOOK AT ALL I'VE DONE. All I've learned. All the NEW AWARENESS I have. and so much more.
AND* (VERY IMPORTANT) I ALSO - without judgment - look at the areas where there is continued opportunity for growth, learning, further development of specific skills, and further growth in my belief.
I am willing to be curious about ANY limiting beliefs or ways of thinking I may still hold, that are potentially getting in the way. (so I can weed those suckers out!)
The most ironic thing of all- ESPECIALLY with weight loss goals…
Is that when you think about or evaluate your results in a BINARY way, that only keeps you feeling like sh*t.
Especially if you’ve had patterns of emotional eating, the more we feel like shit about ourselves- the more we feel like a ‘failure’ → the more we emotionally eat and sabotage.
NON-BINARY SUCCESS is where it’s at.
THIS approach will keep you moving IN the direction of your exact goal AND experiencing ongoing new breakthroughs in your results in a way that FEELING LIKE A FAILURE- NEVER HAS AND NEVER WILL.

I’m tackling the topic of MAINTENANCE and ‘maintaining results’ from a refreshingly new lens.
One of the most frequent questions that I get is this:
‘Brenda I know how to LOSE weight, but what I struggle with is maintenance and maintaining those results, help!’
I’m telling you now… you might have to listen 2x to this one. And you’re really gonna have to listen with an open mind.
Because THIS WAY OF THINKING ABOUT MAINTENANCE is SO different, then the ideas that we’ve been previously fed by diet-culture on the topic of 'maintenance'.
I mean, seriously.
It’s gonna be a breath of fresh air.
And may I remind you that I have maintained an 80 pounds weight loss for YEARS NOW….
→ through wedding planning, adapting to the changes of marriage, honeymoon, many vacations, travel, becoming a new mom and navigating the newness of motherhood -- leaving my job to start my own business (which was f-ing scary and emotional btw!) -- growing and scaling that said business to 7-figures, navigating a global pandemic --- and more.
I'M ABLE TO ONGOING MAINTAIN THIS 80 POUND WEIGHT LOSS WITH EASE, AND JOY, AND LOVE as I am LIVING a full, amazing (sometimes-challenging!) life.
I’ve also coached 100’s of women who had once struggled with their weight for DECADES, and who now ALSO maintain their results with ease and joy and love.
Clients like Risa, and Monica, and Caroline… (just to name a few) going on 4+ years of having gone through the program and TO THIS DAY are maintaining and enjoying AND LOVING their results.
Keep ALL of this in mind as you listen.
You might even find my ideas on this a bit unexpected.
But guess what?
I wanna offer to you, that you WANT unexpected.
YOU NEED UNEXPECTED.→ Because ALL the ‘usual’ ideas that you’re so used to up to now have NOT been working.
It’s time to mix it up. Let’s mix it up REAL GOOD.
After all, it’s NEW WAYS OF THINKING that will create for you A BRAND NEW EXPERIENCE AND UNIMAGINABLE RESULTS.
LISTEN NOW
If you want results, make sure to COMPLETE THE WRITTEN PROCESS that I teach you in this episode.
If you don't want results, then you can just passively listen. ; )

This 2-PART SERIES on Uncertainty, CONTROL, Food and Weight loss is a MUST LISTEN.
*Especially if you would consider yourself an emotional eater, perfectionist, or high achiever.
In PART TWO: we take everything you learned in part one, and make it simple, actionable, and clear.
You'll learn THREE key markers which you can utilize to effectively analyze and self-asses your current weight loss approach.
In order to be DONE struggling with your weight, it's important that you're able to identify the ways in which your current weight loss approach IS NOT EFFECTIVE and is WORKING AGAINST YOU, instead of for you.
explain these 3 important markers in a way that is simple and pragmatic:
#1- The areas where you DO have agency.
#2- The different types of Fear, and the results (or lack of) they each create.
#3- Two Questions you can ask yourself in order to distinguish Empowered Decision-Making VS. Fear-Based Decision Making (which only begets more fear & sabotage!)
We’re taking things to a ‘next-level’ in a way that helps you to CLEARLY UNDERSTAND WHY you do the things you do, especially those food-related decisions that feel the MOST baffling, frustrating and confusing to you.
You'll also learn:
- the questions I learned to ask myself in order to clearly differentiate when my food-decisions and/or my weight loss was being approached with true agency (vs fear of uncertainty).
- 3 simple questions to help you grow and develop your ability to navigate uncertainty, so that you no longer need to depend on food/emotional eating, no matter what challenges and circumstances are happening in your life.
In order to create new results, we MUST understand our decisions.
In order to understand our decisions/behavior, we MUST understand our psychology.
→ IN THIS 2-PART SERIES WE TAKE A DEEP-DIVE INTO UNDERSTANDING THE BRAINS RESPONSE TO UNCERTAINTY, AND HOW THAT SHOWS UP IN YOUR WEIGHT STRUGGLE.
Our human brain very much dislikes: UNCERTAINTY.
This is why successful, intelligent, high-achieving women find themselves emotionally overeating, re-gaining weight they worked SO hard to lose… the moment that things feel like ‘too much is going on’ OR when they feel like there’s too much uncertainty in their lives.
If you've ever experienced 'the phenomenon' of wanting to EAT MORE, AS THINGS FEEL MORE UNCERTAIN AND OUTSIDE OF YOUR CONTROL IN YOUR LIFE...
Then you've gotta listen to this 2-part series (make sure to start with part 1).
Here's the thing: If you are a human with a human brain... then YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH UNCERTAINTY is most definitely showing up in your decision making, and thus, in your results.
I break this ALL THE WAY down so that YOU are able to understand your food related choices with clarity and ease.
On the podcast I often focus on teaching and showing you ALL the places where you have SO MUCH AGENCY & CHOICE- but what about the things that ARE NOT in your ‘control’- what is your relationship to those?
THIS MATTERS. So make sure you know.
Listen in to PART 2, to learn exactly what things you DO have agency over, and to equip yourself with practical tools for knowing exactly where YOUR DECISION MAKING POWER TRULY LIES.
LISTEN NOW.
On this week’s podcast we are going D-E-E-P.
We’re taking things to a ‘next-level’ in a way that helps you to understand WHY you do the things you do, especially those food-related decisions that feel the MOST baffling, frustrating and confusing to you.
For example…
‘WHY DO I OVEREAT AND SABOTAGE, IF I WANNA LOSE THIS DAMN WEIGHT MORE THAN ANYTHING?’
→ In order to understand our behavior, we MUST understand our psychology.
We MUST understand our human mind, and it’s ‘default’ tendencies. (which btw, our human brain has many!)
One of the ‘default settings’ is that our human brain very much dislikes: UNCERTAINTY.
This is why successful, intelligent, high-achieving women find themselves emotionally overeating, re-gaining weight they worked SO hard to lose… the moment that things feel like ‘too much is going on’ OR when they feel like there’s too much uncertainty in their lives.
At the start of 2020 (enter global pandemic...), people all over the world experienced the phenomenon of wanting to EAT MORE, AS THINGS FELT MORE AND MORE UNCERTAIN.
I bet you NEVER thought that your weight struggle had anything to do with ‘control’ and/or uncertainty (or maybe you had a hunch!). Regardless, in this 2-part series, I break this WAYYY down so that you’re able to understand your food related choices with clarity and ease.
It’s not something that gets talked about much. But it’s important!
Because... if you are a human with a human brain... then YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH UNCERTAINTY is most definitely showing up in your decision making, and thus, in your results.
(*We just wanna make sure that you decide how you want to respond to uncertainty ON PURPOSE. Don’t worry, I’m teaching this to you also!)
These type of emotional eating habits and patterns that keep SO many women stuck and emotionally suffering ARE most certainly about their relationship with food, but ALSO about their relationship with UNCERTAINTY.
→ AND YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR VERY OWN HUMANITY.
In this episode you’ll learn about navigating ‘things’ (ie. circumstances) that ARE outside of your ‘control’.
On the podcast I often focus on teaching and showing you ALL the places where you have SO MUCH AGENCY & CHOICE- but what about the things that ARE NOT in your ‘control’- what is your relationship to those?
(hint: it matters. So make sure you know!)
GET CRYSTAL CLEAR (for yourself!) ON HOW & WHY THIS MATTERS.
Make sure to listen in, so that you KNOW exactly WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT, so that your human brain ‘tendencies’ do NOT become a roadblock in attaining those next-level results (and the experience in this area of your life!) that you’re wanting.
LISTEN NOW.
Today I'm introducing you to the KRYPTONITE that will weaken and destroy any emotional overeating and sabotaging habits. 
Millions of women around the world internally struggle with emotional over-eating and sabotage (sometimes, even D-A-I-L-Y !)
My mission is to get you equipped with EVERYTHING you're needing in order to create the habits and results that you've been wanting, but struggling to create.
Ok, so here’s how it goes down:
You set a goal. You say to yourself: 'ok, this is really it!'.
You say to yourself you're NOT gonna overeat, you're NOT gonna sabotage this anymore because you really want this.
You say to yourself that you're gonna follow your 'plan' for your weight loss.
And then...
Later that week (or even later that day!) ---> You overeat. YOU EMOTIONALLY OVEREAT & YOU SABOTAGE YOUR DESIRED WEIGHT LOSS, YET AGAIN.
I understand this emotionally draining and viscous cycle all-too well, because I lived in it for 2 decades. I know it first hand. IT'S EXHAUSTING.
One of the MOST common questions I get is:
Brenda ‘HOW DO I STOP OVEREATING AND SABOTAGING MY GOALS?!’
Well, in this podcast episode I'm teaching you the KRYPTONITE to weaken and destroy emotional overeating.
Specifically, you'll learn the concept of BODY ASSOCIATION and I'm deconstructing this for you in a brand new way that will grant you access into a new and upgraded possibility for your weight loss results AND your life.
BODY ASSOCIATION. Sound simple, yes. But do NOT underestimate or overlook it- it is NECESSARY to have as your foundation in order to create lasting change.
When you integrated and develop 'body association' as a skill IT'LL BE ONE OF THE MOST SIMPLE YET POWERFULLY EFFECTIVE THINGS EVER DO.
This approach will have your weight loss feeling: SIMPLE.
*IF * you are willing to integrate this foundational approach...Get ready to be done with the sabotage.
Get ready to be done with the ‘eff-it’ moments and the emotional overeating.
Get ready to be D-O-N-E with the struggle.
Get ready to ENJOY the kind of weight loss results and experience you've been wanting (HELLO RESULTS, GOODBYE STRUGGLE!).
You absolutely deserve to LOVE this area of your life and YES, it IS possible when you develop THIS skillset.
You do NOT wanna miss this one.
