In this episode, we explore why, despite our best efforts, thought work sometimes falls short. You might be doing everything right—focusing on affirmations and mindset shifts—but still feel stuck.
Today, we’re diving into something I’ve experienced personally, and I see a lot of my clients struggling with too: why thought work sometimes doesn’t seem to work. You’re doing all the mindset work, trying to be in control of your thoughts, but it’s just not getting you the results you want. Sound familiar?
It took me a while to figure this out, but I found the answer: Thought work is powerful, but there’s something even more powerful that can override it: our nervous system.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
- Why thought work sometimes isn’t enough to break negative habits
- How your nervous system can override your thoughts during stress
- The role of the nervous system in controlling your actions and reactions
- The concept of "home base" and how to regulate your nervous system
- Why food, overeating, and stress are linked to your body’s survival response
- Practical steps to bring your nervous system back to a calm, balanced state
- How to combine thought work with nervous system regulation for lasting change

In this episode, I dive into something that’s been on my mind ever since I heard President Nelson say, “This is the secret to a life of joy.”

I’ll walk you through how I broke this down: what a healthy body looks and feels like, and what a healthy spirit means to me.
I also share a beautiful moment I witnessed during my daughter’s labor—
If you’ve ever wondered how to truly live a life filled with joy, this episode will give you some practical insights and a fresh perspective.

This week, we’re diving into the theme of overwhelm—a common feeling that can hit when we’re faced with seemingly insurmountable tasks.

WHAT YOU WILL DISCOVER * Supportive vs. Forcing: The episode begins by addressing common frustrations with weight loss, such as stalled progress despite efforts. The key message is that the body needs supportive conditions to release weight effectively. Forcing weight loss through extreme calorie cuts or over-exercise creates an environment where the body feels unsafe and resistant to change. * Holistic Approach: Weight loss isn't just about physical health. It encompasses emotional, mental, spiritual, and social well-being. The body needs a safe and supportive environment, which includes adequate sleep, hydration, stress management, compassionate self-talk, and gentle eating practices. * Foundational Habits (Fundies): The episode outlines essential habits to foster a supportive environment for weight loss:
+ Sleep: Aim for 7-9 hours of restful sleep to allow the body to repair and manage weight effectively.
+ Water: Drink at least 64 ounces of water daily to stay hydrated and avoid cravings.
+ Stress Management: Implement practices like gratitude, deep breathing, and uplifting activities to manage stress and maintain balance.
+ Compassionate Thinking: Practice positive self-talk and view challenges with kindness to avoid emotional eating and self-sabotage.
+ Gentle Eating: Focus on eating when hungry, choosing nourishing foods, and stopping when full, while avoiding emotional eating.

Today I'm talking about a common thing that all of us do where we have expectations of people, sometimes called "a manual”. We want them to think, feel, and act a certain way.
The problem- people aren’t very good at being who we think they should be. Holding onto our "manuals", expecting our kids and others to be who we want them to be, just causes us a lot of unnecessary misery.
Believing someone should be different than they are, feels like love. It feels like we’re just trying to be a good mom (wife, daughter, friend, etc.) by looking out for them, but what we aren’t seeing is the misery we’re inflicting on ourselves in the process of trying to control and change them.
Join me on the podcast this week as I highlight how we hold onto our joy-sucking manuals, and why letting them go is the key to becoming A Joyful You - happier, healthier, confident, as well as improving all the relationships in your life.
Don’t forget to grab your Drop It Like It's Hot Weight Loss Strategy Blueprint if you haven’t already! It will show you why what you're currently doing to lose weight isn't working and a personal strategy for what will.
What You’ll Learn on this Episode:
- Why having expectations for others might be making you miserable
- What having a “manual” for someone means.
- How we punish ourselves with our manuals.
- Why you need to drop expectations of other people and who you think they should be.
- The lie we tell ourselves around our expectations of other people.

Today we're diving into your thoughts about your summer body.
Are you unhappy with your body image? If so, you’re not alone. Body image isn’t something we just came up with ourselves. It’s something that's been conditioned by society.
We've been told in many ways that our bodies are unacceptable as they are, that we should be ashamed of them, and that they need fixing especially during the summer.
We've been conditioned that there is a one size fits all mold that we're supposed to morph our bodies into and that the way our body looks is more important than everything else.
In today's episode, I'm talking about body image and some different ways to think about your body.

I have been a coach for 6 years now and I’ve helped 100’s of women and a few men, and the number one thing my clients want help working on is weight loss.
So many have tried diet after diet and they’re left frustrated. They started out hopeful, but eventually they grew to hate it because it’s hard and miserable.
When it comes to losing weight so many people focus only know to focus on the food piece, trying to change what and how much they eat.
But what I’ve come to realize is that changing what you eat is actually the last piece of the puzzle. There is so much more that needs to be addressed first. Once you address these things, then the food part becomes so much easier! And there’s not the constant battle going on.
So instead of just jumping all in and trying to do a complete 180 degree overhaul of your life trying to do and eat all the things perfectly all at once to lose weight, I promote working on weight loss by degrees. And more specifically, just one degree, one tiny percent, at a time.
On this episode I'm sharing my framework for weight loss.
WHAT YOU WILL DISCOVER: * How and why weight loss by degrees works. * Rachael's framework for weight loss * What it means to be a "normal" eater * What things effect and influence our weight * Why past diets didn't work and what will

But then. . . a week later, a few days later, maybe even an hour later something happens, the excitement fizzles out and a lot of times, self-doubt takes its place.
And you start thinking thoughts like:
"I'm not capable."
"I'm behind."
"I should be better at this by now."
"I’ve tried this 100 times before and failed-why would this time be any different?"
"I can't do this."
These thoughts are normal. It doesn't mean you're broken and doomed to fail.
But if we don't know what's really going on, we'll sabotage ourselves and quit before we reach our goal.
In today's episode I share why self-doubt is normal, why we have it, and what to do about it so you don't ever quit on yourself again.

Have you ever had a big goal in your life that you wanted to reach, but you gave up before you got there?
In the beginning, when we first start out to accomplish a goal, the excitement and motivation is huge, and we tend to take big strides towards creating the outcome we want. We start out strong and with really good intentions, only to ”fall off the wagon” soon after. What happened?
The world is full of enticing immediate results schemes. They tell us change should be fast and the way to get quick results is by making huge giant changes. Their message is that taking big huge strides towards the goal is the only way to do it and be successful at it.
What if I told you this is a lie?
So what is the secret to accomplishing a big goal?
The secret is in using the power of small and simple things.
Tune in to this episode and I'll teach you how.

Do you ever feel like no matter how much you want to eat healthier and get serious about losing weight, there’s just something holding you back?
You vow to do better and cut back and stay on track and this time you mean it, only to find yourself right back at square one, feeling like a failure who lacks willpower, don’t despair.
I can guarantee the reason this is happening is not because you are weak or even that you lack willpower, the reason you end up in this vicious cycle is because you have an emotional connection with food.
The thing I love about habits is that once we understand them, we can, with a little practice, break them.
So today I want to teach you about the emotional eating habit cycle and how it works.

So many of us feel like we’re at the mercy of the circumstances of our lives.
Many of us blame the people around us for how we feel.
We believe that if things would just be different, then we’ll finally be able to feel better.
So we keep waiting and waiting and waiting.
The truth? t’s not ever people or circumstances making us feel what we feel. The reality is that we each have a choice when life throws us a curveball and we're faced with hard times: we can choose to be bitter, or we can choose to be better.

I am a firm believer that the reason why any of us is overweight is because we eat more than our body requires for fuel. Most of us often eat when we’re not hungry, and we eat until we're stuffed. Resulting in becoming overweight.

We re-explore hunger and then I teach you a new tool called ENOUGH. Listen in as I explain how you can begin your journey to losing weight, creating a body you love, and maintain it for the rest of your life!

There is scientific proof that that the mind and the body need to work together in order function at our best and that’s what I want to share with you today, The Mind-Body Connection.
Your mind is constantly taking in information all day long and processing it, but what about your body? Your body doesn’t have thoughts, and it can’t process outside information. The mind needs a way of telling the body what is happening so it can therefore act accordingly. Enter the Mind-Body Communication System.

Today I want to discuss something that typically gets in the way of us going "all in". Something that keeps us stuck and prevents us from creating the results we want. It also keeps us from experiencing joy.

This week I want to share with you what I know about Physical Health.
Physical health is defined as the condition of your body, taking into consideration everything from the absence of disease to fitness level. Physical health is critical for overall well-being, and can be affected by: Lifestyle: diet, level of physical activity, and behavior (for instance, smoking.
Today we'll be focusing specifically on Nutrition and Exercise.
Nutrition is more than just the food.
It’s about our relationship with food, and who we are as eaters. It also includes things such as our eating speed, eating rhythms, listening to our built-in hunger and fullness signals, and food behaviors.
We will discuss them all.
We also talk about the benefits of exercise and should you use it for weight loss.
