Episode Description: The holidays are coming, and if you're anything like me, you're already feeling the pressure. Between family gatherings, endless desserts, and a packed schedule, it's easy to let your health goals slide. But what if this year could be different? In this episode, I'm sharing my game plan for surviving and thriving through the holiday season without sacrificing your progress or your joy.

In This Episode, You'll Discover:

• Why getting organized NOW is the key to staying on track during the holidays
• How to use a planner to map out all your festivities and plan ahead for success
• The power of recreating your favorite holiday meals at home with healthier ingredients
• How to ask yourself "How do I want to FEEL?" and choose foods that support that feeling
• Why movement needs to be at the center of your holiday season (not just your eating)
• An exclusive invitation to my FREE Facebook training on beating bloat and burnout this season

Key Takeaways:

1. Get Organized with a Planner

• Write down ALL your holiday events, parties, and gatherings
• Plan ahead for what you'll eat, when you'll move your body, and how you'll stay consistent
• Seeing it all on paper helps you feel in control instead of overwhelmed

2. Recreate Holiday Meals at Home

• You don't have to skip your favorite dishes just make them healthier
• Swap out processed ingredients for clean, God-made alternatives
• Host your own gatherings so YOU control the menu

3. Ask: "How Do I Want to Feel?"

• Before reaching for that second plate or dessert, pause and ask yourself this question
• Do you want to feel energized, satisfied, and proud? Or sluggish, bloated, and regretful?
• Choose foods that align with how you want to feel not just what tastes good in the moment

4. Keep Movement at the Center

• Don't wait until January to prioritize exercise
• Daily movement (even 20-30 minutes) helps manage stress, balance hormones, and keep your metabolism going
• Make it non-negotiable, even during busy holiday weeks

5. Join the Community & Beat Holiday Bloat

• I'm going LIVE in our Facebook group with a special training: Beating Bloat and Burnout This Holiday Season

Episode Description: There are so many different approaches to weight loss, calorie counting, macro tracking, keto, low carb, so what actually works?

In this episode, I'm breaking down my Kingdom Wellness Protocol: the two core principles that transformed my health and helped me lose 100 pounds. We're talking about God-made foods versus man-made factory foods, and how to naturally balance the three fat-storing hormones keeping you stuck.

In This Episode, You'll Discover:

• Why I don't believe in "my way is the only way" when it comes to weight loss
• The two foundational principles of the Kingdom Wellness Protocol
• The 3 fat storing hormones you need to manage: insulin, estrogen, and cortisol
• Why I personally advocate for healthy keto/low carb living (and the difference between the two)
• How keto naturally eliminates "food noise" just like GLP1 medications (Ozempic, Wegovy)
• The truth about insulin resistance and why constant blood sugar spikes keep you stuck
• How excess estrogen creates a vicious cycle that makes fat loss harder
• Why cortisol (the stress hormone) tells your body to hold onto belly fat
• My honest approach: what I actually did to lose 100 pounds (it wasn't just one thing)

Have you ever caught yourself saying, "I'd rather be happy and fat" as you reached for food you knew wasn't aligned with your goals? In this episode, we're unpacking the mindset shifts that are absolutely essential for lasting weight loss because your thoughts literally create your reality.

In This Episode, You'll Discover:

• Why the phrase "I'd rather be happy and fat" is actually a permission slip, not a choice
• How your thoughts create emotions, which drive your actions (and results)
• The most common mindset blocks keeping Kingdom women stuck in yo-yo dieting cycles
• Why all-or-nothing thinking sabotages your progress
• How identity attachment ("I've always been a big girl") keeps you from your transformation
• The real reason you need a long-term identity shift, not just another meal plan
• How to move from "I'm trying to lose weight" to "I'm someone who takes care of myself"
• Real client testimonies of women who lost 75+ pounds by addressing both practical and mental/emotional roadblocks

  Key Takeaways:

  • Your thoughts → emotions → actions = your results
  • Sustainable weight loss requires becoming a different version of yourself
  • You don't have to choose between happiness and health—that's a false choice
  • Food doesn't have to have power over you
