Weight Loss Your Way: Recent Episodes
Norma Frahn
This is the show for women over 40 or approaching 40 who want to lose weight but are tired of chasing the quick-fix fantasy that diet culture promises.
We’re ditching the diet rule books and getting on with experiencing Weight Loss YOUR way.
In today’s episode, I’m going to talk about how we identify with ourselves through our qualities and how our brains just get it all twisted up sometimes.Somehow all of those great qualities we have - being nice, responsible and reliable - they end up being the very thing that keeps us stuck and prevents us from putting ourselves first when we need it most.
The relationship with yourself is foundational to experiencing all that is possible in Weight Loss Your Way, so I’m dedicating the entire month of February to helping you improve the most important relationship you will ever have. Here’s how you can join me:
- Join us in the Weight Loss Your Way community. The four week Self-Love Workshop starts on Monday, February 6, so don’t delay!
- Catch my weekly Facebook live every Wednesday at noon. You’ll find the event posted on my page, so drop it in your calendar so you don’t miss it.
- Subscribe to the Weight Loss Your Way podcast. A new episode drops every Monday morning
- Visit my YouTube channel for more Weight Loss Your Way talks
I don't think there is more important work than improving the relationship to yourself, yet it is the one thing we usually shy away from doing. Whether we just don't think it's that important or a little scared about what we might uncover, we're missing an opportunity for real, lasting, change in our lives.
If you want to feel better, have more confidence, stop people pleasing and worrying about what other people think and make weight loss easier - this is the episode for you!
If I have convinced you to take the plug and spend some quality time with yourself, join us in the Weight Loss Your Way community for the February Self-Love Workshop.

We have evolved into a culture that just doesn’t respect the long-game. We want it and we want it now! I’ll be the first to admit that in most circumstances, I agree that quicker, faster and easier is better - but not when it comes to our health and weight loss.
This week I’m talking all about the quick fix world we live in and why Weight Loss Your Way is the long game that’s worth playing!

Have you ever given much thought to your routines when it comes to food and eating? Well, that’s exactly what we’re diving into today.
Routines are meant to support you, so every once in a while, it’s a good idea to check in and make sure they are still serving that purpose.
In this episode, I’ll give you a quick and easy way to evaluate your food and eating routines so that you can drop what is no longer serving a purpose and shake loose some of that diet brain thinking!

We are coming up on a brand new year, which means many of us are preparing our 2023 New Year resolutions that include things like “lose weight, get fit or the ever popular, get healthy”. I think there is a little something most of us skip over - kind of a prerequisite to these big lofty goals. Before you overhaul your kitchen and climb back up on the wagon on January 1st, episode 27 is a must listen!
If you are ready to take on this new kind of new year resolution, but you don’t want to go it alone, come join us in the Weight Loss Your Way community (formerly known as Connecting the Pieces). We are having a grand-opening now and I’d love for you to join us. There’s power in a community of determined women supporting each other as they experience the possibilities of Weight Loss Your Way.

It’s time for a Weight Loss Your Way reset! After 25 episodes, I thought it would be a good idea for a little refresher on the three fundamentals of Weight Loss Your Way, and a sneak-peak at what’s coming in 2023.

Far too many of us are putting our lives on hold, waiting “until we lose the weight”, believing that weight loss is the thing that will make us happy and enough in this world.
In this week’s episode, I’m inviting you to consider that you can be happy AND enough right now, at any size. Any maybe, just maybe, dieting for happiness is the very thing that’s keeping you stuck in the never ending diet cycle.
If you want to disconnect your happiness and enoughness from your weight, this is the show for you!
Be sure to subscribe to Weight Loss Your Way so you don’t miss an episode!

Don’t let diet culture ruin pumpkin pie for you another Thanksgiving!
I’m kicking off the 2022 holiday season with a discussion about Thanksgiving. Next to Christmas, this is my favorite holiday. But it wasn’t always this way. Navigating the holidays, the food and the people was once filled with stress and anxiety for me, but not anymore!
In this episode, I’m sharing how you can have the holiday experience that YOU want to have and how to intentionally decide how to handle all the amazing food, and those tricky situations that involve the other people in your life.
Don’t forget, I am here to help! If something really resonated with you in this episode, reach out to me a support@normafrahncoaching.com and we’ll get to work on making sure diet culture doesn’t ruin pumpkin pie for you this Thanksgiving!

I’m talking about it all today, so pop in those ear buds and enjoy!

After I produced this episode, I found that Gallop is no longer offering a free version of the Clifton Strengthfinder that I referenced. If you’re curious about your unique strengths, it’s still worth the small investment. *I am not affiliated in any way with Gallop or Clifton Strengthfinder - just a satisfied customer making a recommendation!

I probably don’t need to say much more than the Monday morning beatdown for you to know what I’m talking about! All too many women engage in this ritual of beating ourselves up for “messing up” over the weekend and vowing on Monday to “start over”.
I learned the hard way that you can’t outrun what you did in the past, even if it was just yesterday. But there is a better option - and that starts with showing yourself a little compassion and examining your process - because it’s never a YOU problem - it’s a process problem.
Episode 16, Ending the Monday Morning Beatdown is all about how to stop punishing yourself and dig into what is really going on in your process. You don’t want to miss this one!
If this episode resonated with you and you want to explore it further, send me an email at support@normafrahncoaching.com or an DM on FB or IG. You can find me in both places @normafrahncoaching.

Weight Loss Your Way is all about learning to think differently about weight loss and how you approach it. One of the best ways to do this is by asking yourself better questions.
Language matters, my friend, and in this episode, you will learn how to ask better questions that shut down your diet brain and engage your logical, reasoning brain. If you want to start taking the ‘hard’ out of weight loss, then you need to listen to this episode!

Self-sabotaging behaviors are normal, and happen to all of us because we are human, but if we’re not paying attention, they can get in the way of creating the results we want in our weight loss process.

This week I’m digging a little deeper into normalizing food in a really practical, but meaningful way. We’ve been conditioned to let our diet brain run the show when it comes to our food choices and sometimes it may even feel like a life or death decision you’re facing!
Today we’re going to explore how we think about our food choices and what we make it mean about us. Listen in to learn how to unwind all of that diet brain drama so that you can make really intentional decisions that you can stand behind and show up for every day.
