Free The Moms

Hey babe — this episode is a must-listen as we start out the year. We’re talking about why so many of us avoid reflecting on our past year… and how we can finally do it without spiraling into shame, guilt, or self-judgment.We break down why reflection feels so loaded (especially for women), and how to flip the script so we can actually get excited about the things that didn’t go the way we planned. Instead of using our past as evidence that something is “wrong” with us, we show you how to treat it like clean data — information that helps us move forward faster.This conversation is raw, funny, and incredibly practical. We talk about using your photo album and calendar as simple reflection tools, and we share our biggest lessons from the year, around movement, friendship, intuition, rest, boundaries, and slowing down.You’ll hear us talk about:Why reflection brings up so much shame (and how we stop making it mean something about us)How we learn to get excited about failures instead of beating ourselves upWhy collecting data is the fastest way to create real changeSimple ways we reflect using our calendar and photo rollWhy movement, strength training, and rest completely change our mindsetWhy scheduling fun and connection isn’t optional — it’s a needHow insourcing (trusting ourselves first) changed everythingWhy slowing down and breaking up with hustle actually worksHow intentional time with our kids doesn’t “just happen”, it has to be plannedIf you’ve been avoiding looking back because you’re scared of what you’ll find, this episode is your permission slip to do it differently. We think you’ll be surprised by how much there is to celebrate...and how powerful it feels to learn instead of judge.Next up, we’ll be diving into how we’re planning 2026 — but reflection is the foundation. Don’t skip this part.Let us know if you’re reflecting on 2025 and what lessons stood out for you. Happy New Year, babe. 💫 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hey babes! Today’s episode is a replay of one of our most-loved conversations, and honestly—it deserves another listen. I’m bringing back my powerful chat with Sarah Crystal because this episode is pure gold when it comes to permanent weight loss, real mindset work, and doing the root-level healing that actually sticks.Sarah is a clinical psychologist, a Yummy Mummy client, and someone who lost 30 pounds—and kept it off. In this episode, she shares what it really looks like to lose weight for the last time, including why tools like plastic surgery or GLP-1s can be helpful but are never the full solution on their own. This conversation is about building a life, identity, and daily practices that make weight regain unnecessary.We talk about losing weight on vacation (yes, really), ending the deprivation mindset, creating discipline that feels freeing, and why pre-planning your food and life is an act of self-respect—not restriction. Sarah also opens up about her experience with plastic surgery after having twins, why it didn’t “fix everything,” and how doing the internal work completely changed how she feels in her body.You’ll hear about:How Sarah lost 30 pounds and kept it off long-termWhy mindset and emotional regulation are non-negotiable for permanent weight lossLosing weight on vacation without deprivationThe difference between surface-level fixes and true root workWhy plastic surgery and GLP-1s don’t solve the “why” behind weight gainHow daily journaling, intentional planning, and self-trust change everythingWhat it actually takes to feel done with food drama and body shameIf this episode lights something up in you, it’s not an accident.

Hey babes. This episode is a cozy, powerful solo chat about what it actually means to be a free mom—and how to start creating that freedom now, not someday.If you’ve been feeling stretched thin, stuck, overwhelmed, resentful, or like your life looks “fine” on the outside but feels tight and exhausting on the inside… this one is for you. We’re redefining freedom in a way that has nothing to do with bigger houses, better vacations, or external achievements—and everything to do with alignment, self-trust, and owning your time, energy, and emotions.In this episode, we slow way down and talk about how to reflect on 2025 without shame, how to stop repeating the same patterns in 2026, and how to choose ONE area of your life to truly free yourself.Here’s what we cover:What being a “free mom” actually means (and what it doesn’t)Why freedom is available to you right now—not after you lose weight or fix your lifeThe belief you must adopt before real change can happenWhy guilt is part of the process (and why that’s normal)How to audit 2025 without beating yourself upWhere you feel the most trapped: body, time, money, marriage, parenting, or careerHow to choose ONE area to focus on in 2026 (and why that’s the fastest path to change)Why your biggest problems should show up on your calendar and in your investmentsHow to stop abandoning yourself and start honoring your needsThe reflection questions that prevent you from repeating the same year again✨ FREE for podcast listeners ✨We’re hosting a FREE 5-day challenge:Drop 5 Pounds While Life Is LifingJanuary 5–9Sign up here:lauraconley.com/drop5If you already know you want deeper support, email me directly:[email protected] doesn’t need to be another year of white-knuckling, pretending, or putting yourself last.

Hey loves! If your marriage feels heavy, transactional, or nothing like what you imagined when you said “I do,” this conversation is going to feel like a deep exhale.We’re talking about how so many of us accidentally sign up for a version of marriage we never consciously agreed to — one built on assumptions, roles, resentment, and unspoken expectations. And the good news? You don’t have to burn it all down to feel free again. You can renegotiate the contract.We walk through three powerful tools that can completely change the emotional climate of your relationship: the 6-second kiss, the Power of One, and creating a brand-new marriage contract that actually fits who you are now, not who you were when you first got together.This isn’t about fixing your partner. It’s about reclaiming your agency, your desire, and your sense of choice — inside your relationship and inside yourself.In this episode, we cover:- Why so many marriages drift into resentment without anyone “doing anything wrong”- How the 6-second kiss rewires connection, safety, and intimacy (and why it works even when things feel awkward)- The Power of One: how changing your energy shifts the entire dynamic- What it really means to stop waiting for your partner to change- How to consciously rewrite your marriage contract — expectations, roles, intimacy, and emotional labor- Why freedom inside marriage comes from choice, not control- How this work directly impacts your nervous system, emotional eating patterns, and overall well-beingIf you’ve been feeling disconnected, stuck, or quietly wondering if this is “just how it is now,” let this be your permission slip to do marriage differently — without ultimatums, threats, or self-abandonment.And if this conversation lights something up in you and you’re ready to take this work deeper — with your relationship, your body, and your life — come hang out with me inside my programs.
