Free The Moms

Hey babe! Today we're diving into a question that comes up constantly on a weight loss journey, and honestly, in life too:

When should you push... and when should you pause?

You wake up tired. Your workout is on the calendar. Your brain starts negotiating.
"Maybe I should rest."
"Maybe I should push through."

And suddenly you're stuck trying to figure out whether you're honoring your body...or just giving in to the quit voice.

In this episode, Nicole and I break down how to tell the difference.

Because sometimes your body truly does need rest. And sometimes your brain is just trying to talk you out of doing something hard. Learning how to tell those apart is a skill, and it's one that will completely change your relationship with discipline, motivation, and weight loss.

We talk about body attunement, how to listen to your body without letting excuses run the show, and why collecting data on yourself over time helps you make better decisions.
Remember: you're not supposed to get this perfectly right every single time. The goal is awareness and learning how to trust yourself again.

In this episode we cover:

- How to tell the difference between pushing yourself and overriding your body

- The mindset shift that helps you stop quitting early

- What "body attunement" actually looks like in real life

- Why accountability partners make it easier to quiet the quit voice

- The 10-minute rule that helps you make better decisions in the moment

- How reflecting on your choices builds long-term self-trust

We also talk about finding the middle path, that place between pushing yourself too hard and letting excuses run the show.

If this conversation sparked something for you, I've got something exciting coming up.

We're hosting another Peptides Webinar on March 17th and March 27th, where we'll talk about how peptides may support your weight loss journey. This webinar will also include other moms sharing their experiences and answering questions live.

Hey babe! This one is for every woman who's ever thought, “If I just hustle harder, I’ll finally feel successful.” 🙋‍♀️

Today I'm joined by my dear friend Katy McFee—former biotech and tech executive turned leadership coach—who climbed all the way to VP and EVP... only to realize that grinding 10x harder than everyone else wasn’t the answer. In fact? It nearly burned her out.

We're talking about what it *actually* takes to rise in your career (or in your life!) without sacrificing your health, your family, or yourself. Whether you're in corporate, running a business, or managing a household, you're going to see yourself in this conversation.

Because here's the truth:*you can have it all....but you cannot do it all.

We dive into:
- Why “working harder” becomes a liability at higher levels of leadership
- How to identify your zone of genius (and stop obsessing over your weaknesses)
- The burnout recipe most women don’t even realize they’re following
- How to create visibility at work *and* at home without feeling awkward
- Why you're not a tree—and you're allowed to move
- The power of non-negotiables and boundaries (without apology)
- How motherhood actually boosts your efficiency and prioritization
- Why perfectionism is secretly draining you
- What “having it all” really means

Katy shares her own story of burning out, leaving corporate, doing deep inner work in her 40s, and building a life she genuinely loves. We also talk about comparison traps, negotiating maternity leave unapologetically, setting calendar boundaries, and how to align your life with what you actually want (and not just what looks good on paper).

If you've ever looked around at your “perfect” life and felt miserable… this episode will feel like a permission slip.

YOU get to decide what energizes you—and build from there.

Hey friends! This episode is such a special one because I'm bringing one of my real-life clients back on the pod to talk about something I've never fully unpacked here before: my Best Life Ever Mastermind.
But this is NOT just one giant commercial. This episode is about helping you start implementing these principles right now. Today. On your random Tuesday in February.
Kelly shares what her life looked like before---corporate grind, 13 Zoom meetings a day, Slack messages at 5am, clenching her jaw through soccer games---and what it looks like now: yoga in the middle of the day, no work email on her phone, focused work blocks, real rest, and actually enjoying her kids in the evening.
If you've ever followed the "American Dream Playbook" and then woken up wondering... wait, is this actually what I want? You are going to feel so seen.

We talk about:
Why so many high-achieving women never stop to ask, "What do I actually want?"
How hustle culture keeps your cortisol high and your life on hold
The myth that fulfillment and ambition can't coexist
What it really takes to love your calendar instead of dreading it
How small, consistent tweaks can completely change your day-to-day
The power of boundaries (including deleting work email from your phone 👀)
Why filling your cup makes you a better leader, partner, and parent

Kelly describes her old calendar as a "traffic jam" and her new one as a "tree-lined suburban street." THAT is the shift we're talking about.

And here's what I want you to do after listening:
Start asking yourself every single day: What do I want?
Schedule one tiny thing this week that fills your cup---and hold that boundary.
Put a recurring calendar reminder to schedule rest, pleasure, or fun.

If you're ready to create one big dream AND be obsessed with your day-to-day life, Best Life Ever Mastermind might be for you. The last day to sign up is March 4th, and we'll be together for four-plus months (with a retreat in the middle to integrate everything).

You can check it out here:

Or email me directly at: [email protected]

You don't have to blow up your whole life. You just have to stop letting your calendar run it.
Let's freaking go. 💛

Okay babes… this is a very special Free The Moms episode.

This one is actually a replay-style webinar training that I hosted, and I decided to bring it to the podcast because this conversation needs to happen out loud. We are talking all things peptides. Yes, GLP-1s. And also NAD+, glutathione, B12, BPC-157 and more. But the main focus of this training is GLP-1s—why so many of my clients are taking them, why some are microdosing, why some are on a full weight-loss dose… and why I personally am on a microdose.

I’ll be honest with you. I was nervous to release this. There is still so much stigma around GLP-1s. And I don’t love that. So we’re de-stigmatizing it. We’re having the conversation. Because my job is to bring you information, empowerment, and options—without shame.

Inside this episode, I walk you through:
- What peptides actually are (and why they’re not some scary foreign thing)
- The difference between microdosing a GLP-1 and using a full weight-loss dose
- Why I chose to microdose—and how I think about it in the context of longevity and metabolic health
- Semaglutide vs tirzepatide (single agonist vs dual agonist) and what that actually means
- What my clients are experiencing on these medications
- Side effects like nausea and how they’re managing it
- Why medical oversight matters and how to think about doing this responsibly

We also talk about other supportive peptides like NAD+ and glutathione, and why this conversation is bigger than “just weight loss.” For many of my clients, this is about metabolic healing, inflammation, energy, and feeling like themselves again.

If you’re curious, skeptical, interested, or just want to understand what the heck everyone is talking about, this episode is for you. You get to decide what’s right for your body. Always.

And if you attended the webinar live (or signed up), you’ll receive the replay, consult link, booking link, and all resources via email.

I love you guys. I’m proud of you for being open-minded. And I’m committed to giving you the tools and information you need to make empowered choices for your health.

Hey mama — Today I’m sharing two simple practices that have quietly changed how I show up as a mom… not by doing more, but by protecting my time and energy on purpose.

In this solo episode, I’m talking about the do-nothing day and one-on-one staycations with your kids — and why both are so powerful. A do-nothing day is exactly what it sounds like: you clear your calendar and do nothing productive. No errands. No catching up. No “just real quick.” If the idea brings up guilt or panic, that’s actually a sign you need it. I walk you through how to schedule it, how to hold the boundary, and why this kind of rest makes you a more patient, present mom.

I also share why doing short, one-on-one staycations with each of my kids has been so meaningful. Getting out of the house, removing the mental load of cooking and cleaning, and being fully present for 24 hours created deeper connection than weeks of trying to do it “right” at home.
