The Psychology of Weight Loss, Pleasure as a Strategy, and Stopping the "I'll Be Happy When"
This week Laura is sharing a conversation she did as a guest on the We Shine Well podcast with host Zoë Kelsey — and it's one of the most honest, wide-ranging interviews Laura has done in a long time.Zoë draws out the full origin story: the month in the hospital with her newborn daughter, the shower that changed everything, and the moment Laura realized she'd been passing down a relationship with food and her body that she desperately wanted to break.They go deep on the psychology of weight loss, why pleasure is a strategy not a reward, what food noise actually is and where it comes from, and how to stop living in the "I'll be happy when" and start designing the life you want right now.A beautiful conversation.

Throwback: What They Are Not Telling You
Before you set another goal, read this.In this episode, Laura makes the case that the way most of us look back at a year — and forward into a new one — is the exact thing sabotaging our results before we even begin. Your brain is wired to find the negative.

It comes from deciding you didn't — and building from there.One of our most downloaded episodes ever.

The word "restriction" probably makes you cringe. That's exactly why Laura made this episode.In this episode, Laura completely reframes the way we think about restriction around food - and makes the case that you already restrict yourself in every other area of your life without thinking twice.

What If Nothing Is Wrong... But You Still Want Something Different? (+ my life and biz update)
Hey babes! This episode is a little different—and honestly, a little vulnerable. I'm pulling back the curtain on a big decision I've made for this summer: I'm taking a semi-sabbatical.Not because I'm burned out. Not because I don't love my business. And definitely not because I'm quitting coaching. In fact, this whole process has made one thing crystal clear: I absolutely LOVE coaching women and helping them lose weight for the last time.But somewhere along the way, I realized that even though I left corporate America to create more freedom, I had slowly become an employee in my own business. My schedule wasn't changing for summer. My priorities weren't changing for summer. And that's when I knew something needed to shift.In this episode, I'm sharing why I'm slowing down, what I'm learning about ambition, motherhood, self-care, and what it really means to create a life you actually want to live. We talk about overworking, people-pleasing, parenting, entrepreneurship, family systems, and how to stop building a life you need a vacation from.If you've been feeling stretched too thin, pulled in a million directions, or wondering what YOU actually want, this conversation is for you.Listen in to hear:- Why I'm taking a semi-sabbatical this summer- The wake-up call that made me realize my life needed to change- How I became an employee inside my own business- Why slowing down feels wildly uncomfortable (and why I'm doing it anyway)- The difference between working in your family and working on your family- How to create your own "Summer Of..." theme and use it to guide decisions- Why you can have it all—but you can't do it all- The question every woman should be asking herself: What do I actually want?- How I'm redefining success, ambition, motherhood, and freedomAnd if you want support creating your own Best Summer Ever while still making progress toward a big goal, come join us inside Best Summer Ever!We're kicking off July 6 and running through August 31 with Voxer coaching, coaching calls, co-working sessions, accountability, and all the support you need to create something incredible while becoming obsessed with your actual life.Grab your spot here:https://portal.lauraconley.com/best-summer-ever-2026Or send me a DM on Instagram and I'll point you in the right direction.I love you all.

Shots Fired: Why GLP-1s Alone Won’t Create Permanent Weight Loss
Shots fired, babes. In today’s episode, I’m talking all about GLP-1s, peptides, and why they can be an amazing tool—but they are not the whole entire picture if you want to lose weight for the last time.Here’s the thing: if you’ve ever thought, Why can’t I just stick to this? What is wrong with me? Do I need more willpower? Am I just broken?—I want you to hear me loud and clear: you are not broken. You are not the problem. This is a method problem. You just haven’t been taught the actual solution yet.In this episode, I’m breaking down why so many women have misdiagnosed the problem when it comes to weight loss. We think the answer is more restriction, more protein, more workouts, more fasting, upping our GLP-1 dose, getting off GLP-1s, or finding the “perfect” plan. But if we’re solving the wrong problem, we’re going to keep applying the wrong solution—and that is what keeps us stuck in the shame spiral, the over-restriction cycle, and the throw-in-the-towel drama.We’re getting into the five missing pieces most women ignore, where GLP-1s actually fit in, and where they don’t. Because yes, peptides can support hunger hormones and reduce cravings—but they don’t fix emotional eating, self-sabotage, diet brain, inconsistency, or the deeper root of why you keep turning to food when hunger isn’t the problem.Listen in to hear:- Why willpower is NOT the reason you haven’t lost weight for the last time- How misdiagnosing the problem keeps you stuck in the wrong solutions- The five real reasons weight loss feels so hard- Where GLP-1s and peptides fit into the toolbox—and where they don’t- Why emotional eating doesn’t disappear just because your hunger is quieter- How the Yummy Mummy Method helps balance hunger hormones with or without peptides- Why accountability, self-care, fun, and love are non-negotiable parts of permanent weight loss- Why you actually want to learn this skill when life is lifeing—not when your calendar is magically pristineIf you know you need more than just one tool in your toolbox, come join us inside the Yummy Mummy Experience. We start next week and there are just a few spots left. Book your call at lauraconley.com and let’s get you losing weight for the last time.And if you’re curious about peptides or wondering whether a GLP-1 microdose or therapeutic dose is right for you, you can also book a call with me and we’ll talk through it together. You can learn more at elliemd.com/lauraconleyYou are not broken, babe. You just need the right method, the right tools, and people holding your hand while you learn how to become a free woman.

We’re talking toxic workplaces, people-pleasing, shame cycles, and what it really takes to feel FREE.Dr. Kasi didn’t just lose weight—she reclaimed her confidence, her voice, and her freaking JOY.You’ll hear:- How GLP-1s helped her quiet food noise—and why they weren’t the whole answer- Why journaling, thought work, and inner dialogue made all the difference- What her 8-year-old daughter said that made her stop hiding- The truth about emotional eating, burnout, and using food to numb- Why weight loss doesn’t have to be miserable—and can actually be FUN- How releasing people-pleasing made her a better mom, wife, and entrepreneur- Why healing your relationship with food changes every other area of your life- How to stop the shame spiral and finally feel free in your bodyIf you’re sitting on the fence, wondering if it’s too late to start—girl, it’s not.Head to the show notes, come to my free webinar, and if you want to sign up for the Yummy Mummy Experience, the next cohort starts May 26th.

The Scale Is Neutral (And That Changes Everything)
Hey babe… I know, I know—the scale feels personal. Like it’s judging you, deciding your mood, telling you who you are that day. But hear me out: it’s not. And this episode is going to completely shift how you see it.This one is pulled straight from my 21 Day Challenge: Lose 10 Pounds While Life Is Life—and we’re diving into one of the biggest mindset shifts that will change your weight loss journey forever.

How She Lost 24 Pounds (Without Dieting Herself Into Misery)
Hey friend—okay I know what you might be thinking…another weight loss story? But hear me out—this one is different.This is a real, raw, deeply human conversation with Julianne, one of my Yummy Mummy clients, and her story is going to hit you right in the heart.Because this isn’t just about losing 24 pounds (which she did 👏). It’s about breaking free from the cycle so many of us are stuck in—the “start Monday, mess up, beat yourself up, repeat forever” loop.Julianne shares how she spent years believing the answer was “out there”—the next diet, the next plan, the next program—while quietly believing she just wasn’t capable of actually sticking to anything.Sound familiar?What changed everything wasn’t more discipline. It wasn’t more restriction. It was learning how to work with herself instead of against herself.And the result? Not just weight loss—but feeling complete, at peace, and finally at home in her own life.This one is powerful. Let’s get into it.In this episode, we talk about:- The cycle of starting over (and why it’s NOT a willpower problem)- Why believing “I’m not capable” keeps you stuck- The real reason diets like Weight Watchers, sugar detoxes, and meal plans don’t last- How emotional avoidance shows up as overeating (even if you don’t think you’re an emotional eater)- What it actually looks like to rebuild your relationship with yourself- The shift from self-criticism → self-compassion (and why that changes everything)- Why accountability + community is the missing piece for most women- The moment everything clicked for Julianne—and why it felt like a “miracle”- What life feels like AFTER doing this work (hint: it’s not just about your body)Julianne lost 24 pounds during the Yummy Mummy Experience—but what she gained is so much bigger:✨ Peace with food ✨ Compassion for herself ✨ Freedom from the cycle ✨ A sense of completeness she never thought was possible And maybe my favorite part?People didn’t just notice her weight loss…they noticed her energy. Her presence. Her “aura.”Because when you change from the inside out—it shows.If you’ve been stuck in the cycle, thinking you just need to try harder…this episode is your wake-up call.You’re not broken. You’ve just never been shown how to do this in a way that actually works.And babe, if this is hitting home and you’re ready to stop starting over and finally lose weight for the last time…Go to 👉 lauraconley.com and book a call.The May Yummy Mummy Experience cohort is filling up, and this is your chance to get the coaching, community, and tools that actually create lasting change.I’ll see you inside 💖 Hosted on Acast.

We’re diving into something so many of us feel but rarely say out loud: why it feels so hard to want what we want… and even harder to actually let ourselves have it.If you’ve ever told yourself “it’s not justifiable,” “it’s not the right time,” or “I should spend that on something more practical”… this one is for you. Because what if the thing you’re denying yourself is actually the exact thing your life (and your family) needs?We’re talking all about desire, worthiness, and what it really looks like to stop abandoning yourself and start living your life fully.In this episode, we get into:- Why so many women don’t even let themselves *want* what they want- The sneaky guilt and “justification trap” that keeps you stuck- How retreats (or any investment in yourself) create real transformation before you even go- Why dreaming can feel scary—and what that actually means- The journaling exercise to uncover what’s really holding you back- How to give your desires equal airtime (instead of shutting them down)- Why filling your cup is NOT selfish—it’s the best thing you can do for your family- The truth about resilience, control, and letting things fall apart (a little)This is your permission slip to stop waiting, stop over-explaining, and start choosing yourself.If you’ve been craving more joy, more freedom, more YOU… this is where it starts.✨ Ready to take the leap?There are only TWO spots left for the Santorini Greece retreat—this is your sign.

When to Push and When to Pause
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-trustWe 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.If you're curious and want to learn more, join us here:👉 http://lauraconley.com/pepI love you so much, and I hope you have the absolute best week ever. 💖 Hosted on Acast.

You Can Have it All... But You Can't Do It All: How To Be Ambitious Without Burning Out
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.Go connect with Katy McFee:- Podcast: "More Women Promoted" — https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/more-women-promoted/id1799258767 - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/katy-mcfee-3880b4a - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/katy.mcfee/ And babe, if you loved this episode, go leave a rating and review.

Is Your Calendar Cock-Blocking Your Life? (Let’s Fix That)
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 holdThe myth that fulfillment and ambition can't coexistWhat it really takes to love your calendar instead of dreading itHow small, consistent tweaks can completely change your day-to-dayThe power of boundaries (including deleting work email from your phone 👀)Why filling your cup makes you a better leader, partner, and parentKelly 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.

Microdosing GLP-1s: Weight Loss, Inflammation & Longevity
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 responsiblyWe 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.If you want to explore further, you can check out the peptides portal here:https://lmd.com/LauraConleyAnd 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. Hosted on Acast.

The Two Days That Changed How I Mother
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.Also don’t forget:• Free peptides webinar on February 11 at 12pm MT Sign up at lauraconley.com/pep (or email [email protected] for the replay)• Mom’s Actual New Year A 3-week planning reset for real mom life — February is the real new year $297, or join free when you watch and share my TEDx talk.• Best Life Ever Mastermind Starts February 26 and runs through July One goal, deep support, and an in-person retreat.If this resonates, DM me when you schedule your do-nothing day.

You’re Not Supposed to Feel Comfortable: How to Do the Scary Thing Without Waiting to Feel Ready
If you keep waiting to feel confident, ready, or comfortable before you say yes to the thing you actually want. A new job. A retreat. A party where you only know one person. Dating again. Speaking up. Starting the thing. Nicole and I are unpacking why “being comfortable” is the wrong goal—and what actually works instead.We talk about why new spaces are *supposed* to feel uncomfortable, why courage has a real physical sensation in your body (and why it kind of sucks), and how waiting to feel ready is often the very thing keeping you stuck. If you’ve ever told yourself “I’ll do it once I feel better / calmer / more confident,” this episode will lovingly interrupt that pattern.You’ll hear us cover:- Why you don’t get comfortable *before* new experiences—you get comfortable *by doing them*- What courage actually feels like in the body (and why it’s not calm)- How to build a simple personal “toolbox” for uncomfortable moments- Why breath is the most underrated regulation tool you already have- Grounding practices that help you come back into your body fast- How reframing nerves can immediately reduce anxiety- Why everyone you think is confident is still nervous- The difference between fear as a signal vs fear as a stop sign- How to stop letting discomfort talk you out of your dreamsAnd if you’re a mom listening to this thinking, “Okay, but I barely survived January”...let’s be honest: January for moms is a prank.While everyone else is goal-setting and “new year, new me”-ing, we’re taking down decorations, surviving winter break, hosting family, and running on fumes. So if you’re just now feeling ready to think about your year… you’re right on time.That’s why we created The Mom’s Actual New Year (Feb 9–26) — a 3-week, bite-sized, fun-forward reset designed for real mom life. No pressure. No perfection. Just live coaching, accountability, and a vision board party to help you reconnect to what you actually want and start moving—without waiting to feel ready.Because comfort doesn’t come first. Action does.February is the real new year. Dur doi.👉 Join us here: https://portal.lauraconley.com/offers/LvJeq9H2If there’s something you’ve been avoiding because you’re “not comfortable yet,” consider this your nudge. You don’t need to feel ready. You just need to go. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
How to Actually Be In Charge of Your Mood
Hey babe—this episode came straight from an IG Live with Nicole (aka Coco) that was too good not to live forever.We’re talking about goals, timelines, deadlines, and the sneaky way we let external things decide how we feel about ourselves—the scale, money, progress, and whether we’re on track. And one of my favorite parts of this whole conversation is the idea of being the "label maker."Nothing actually means anything until we label it. A missed deadline. A number on the scale. A goal you didn’t hit exactly the way you planned. Failure isn’t a fact—it’s a label. And you’re the one holding the label maker.In this episode, Nicole and I talk about how to keep dreaming and setting goals without using them as a weapon against yourself. How to let timelines be information instead of a verdict. And why the “when” is kind of none of your business… but still helpful as a mile marker.This conversation is for you if you want to:Stop labeling everything as a failureLearn how to set goals without fear or self-punishmentUnderstand how external metrics quietly hijack your emotionsUse timelines as data, not self-worthPractice having your own back—even when things don’t go as plannedYou don’t need to stop dreaming to feel safe. You don’t need to stop setting goals to protect yourself. You just need to choose better labels.And if this episode hits and you want support doing this work in your own life—around weight loss, self-trust, and freedom—come find me at lauraconley.com.

How to Plan Your Year Without Overwhelming Yourself
This week on the Coco & Lala Show, I’m sitting down with Nicole to talk about how we’re actually planning a new year—without burning ourselves out, shaming ourselves, or pretending we’re robots.We’ve both lived the extremes. We’ve set way too many goals, gone all-in with big energy, and watched it fall apart a few weeks later. And we’ve also been in seasons where it felt easier to opt out altogether because trying again felt exhausting. In this episode, we’re talking about the middle path—the place where real, sustainable change actually happens.We share why extreme goal-setting is so tempting (hello dopamine), why it rarely lasts, and how we’re choosing to approach 2026 in a way that fits real life. This conversation is especially for anyone coming out of the holidays feeling tired, overstimulated, or behind before the year has even really begun.In this Coco & Lala conversation, we talk about:- Why all-or-nothing goal setting keeps us stuck- What the “middle path” looks like in our real lives- How we’re choosing 1–3 meaningful goals instead of overwhelming ourselves- Why we plan for mistakes instead of pretending we won’t make them- How perfectionism sneaks in and quietly derails progress- What we do when motivation feels low or nonexistent- Why joy belongs in the plan—not as a reward later- How we use fresh-start energy without turning it into pressure- Why who we become matters more than whether we hit the goal perfectlyIf you’re feeling discouraged, unmotivated, or like you’re already behind, I want you to hear this: nothing has gone wrong. You’re allowed to move at your own pace. You’re allowed to do this differently. And you don’t need your entire year figured out to take the next right step.And if this conversation resonates and you’re ready to take this work deeper, come join me inside the Yummy Mummy Experience. This is where we take these ideas and turn them into real, sustainable change—with coaching, tools, and support to help you lose weight and live your life without burning out.Learn more at lauraconley.com.

“Drop 5 lbs While Life Is Life-ing” Challenge (Day 5)
Welcome to Day 5 of the Drop Five Pounds While Life Is Life-ing Challenge — and no, this is not the end. It’s the beginning.Today we’re talking about the skill that changes everything: allow power. Because if weight loss has always felt hard, exhausting, or like a constant battle with yourself, it’s not because you’re broken. It’s because you’ve been taught to rely on willpower — and willpower always runs out.In this episode, I break down what actually happens when the cupcake shows up after you said you wouldn’t have one. Why fighting yourself makes urges stronger. Why restriction fuels obsession. And why most people think they only have two options: eat the food or white-knuckle it.I’m teaching you a third option — allow power — the skill of letting urges exist without acting on them, without shaming yourself, and without going to war with your body. This is how you decondition overeating at the root. This is how desire softens instead of screaming louder. This is how weight loss becomes sustainable.We also talk about choice versus victim mentality, why “I can’t have that” is the fastest way to quit, and how unanswered urges actually rewire your brain over time. This is the work that leads to your natural weight — not through force, but through trust.In this episode, you’ll hear:- Why willpower is not a renewable resource (and why it always fails)- The two common reactions to cravings — and why both keep you stuck- What allow power actually is and how it feels in your body- How to let urges rise and fall without eating or resisting- Why accepting discomfort is different from white-knuckling- How unanswered urges lower desire over time- The difference between “I can’t” and “I choose not to”- Why this skill changes not just food, but your entire lifeYour homework for today:When an urge for food shows up, practice allow power for just 10–15 seconds. Take a breath. Let the urge be there. Notice what you actually need. See what happens when you don’t rush to fix or fight it. Start collecting unanswered urges — this is how you build freedom.If you need support or coaching, email me at [email protected] if you’re ready to take this work deeper, the Yummy Mummy Experience starts January 20th. It’s a six-month group coaching program that guarantees you lose weight for the last time — or your money back. Learn more or book a call at lauraconley.com.I love you so much.

“Drop 5 lbs While Life Is Life-ing” Challenge (Day 4)
Welcome to Day 4 of the Drop Five Pounds While Life Is Life-ing Challenge — and today we’re tackling one of the most misunderstood parts of weight loss: hunger.So many of us have been taught that hunger is a problem to solve, suppress, or avoid at all costs. But hunger isn’t the enemy. Ignoring it, fearing it, or fighting it is what keeps you stuck in overeating, binge–restrict cycles, and food obsession.In this episode, I break down the difference between physical hunger and emotional hunger, and why learning to trust your body again is a non-negotiable if you want to lose weight for the last time. We talk about what normal hunger actually feels like, why letting yourself get overly hungry backfires, and how diet culture has trained us to disconnect from our body’s signals.You’ll also learn how to eat in a way that stabilizes your hunger hormones so you’re not white-knuckling your way through the day — and why honoring hunger builds trust with yourself faster than any “discipline” ever could.This episode is about safety. About listening instead of controlling. And about learning that your body is not broken — it’s been trying to talk to you this whole time.In this episode, you’ll hear:- Why hunger is a normal, neutral signal — not a problem- The difference between physical hunger and emotional hunger- What happens when you ignore hunger for too long- How restriction fuels overeating and food noise- Why trusting your body is a skill (and how to rebuild it)- How balanced eating supports hunger hormones- What to do when hunger shows up earlier than expected- Why honoring hunger actually makes weight loss easierYour homework for today:Throughout the day, pause before you eat and ask: “Am I physically hungry, emotionally hungry, or both?” Eat when you’re hungry without judgment, and notice what it feels like to respond with curiosity instead of control. Write down what you observe — no fixing, no shaming.If you want support or coaching, email me at [email protected] if you’re ready to stop fighting your body and start working with it, come join me inside the Yummy Mummy Experience — my six-month group coaching program that guarantees results or your money back.

“Drop 5 lbs While Life Is Life-ing” Challenge (Day 3)
Welcome to Day 3 of the Drop Five Pounds While Life Is Life-ing Challenge — the day we stop pretending life is ever going to calm down.Day one was about creating a solid plan. Day two was about anchoring that plan to compelling reasons that actually move you. Today is where it gets real. Because a plan without a plan for when life blows up… isn’t a real plan.In this episode, we’re talking about what *actually* happens when life is life-ing — when schedules implode, stress spikes, kids melt down, cravings hit, and your brain starts offering “helpful” excuses like, “Screw it, I’ll start Monday.” Instead of waiting for a perfect, imaginary window where nothing goes wrong, we build the skill of honoring your plan *inside* the chaos.I walk you through how to identify your personal obstacles — not vague ones, but stupid-specific ones — and how to create strategies ahead of time so you’re not relying on willpower in the moment. We talk about how your lower brain works, why it defaults to pleasure and avoidance, and how to pre-program responses that actually support the version of you you’re becoming.This is the difference between wishful thinking and real commitment. Not white-knuckling. Not perfection. Devotion. Planning for mistakes. Learning instead of shaming. And building trust with yourself when life doesn’t cooperate.In this episode, you’ll hear:- Why waiting for a “perfect time” guarantees you stay stuck- What “life is life-ing” actually looks like (and why it’s normal)- How your lower brain sabotages plans through pleasure-seeking and avoidance- Why a plan without obstacle strategies isn’t a real plan- How to identify your exact personal triggers (stress, PMS, parties, exhaustion, leftovers, etc.)- The two types of strategies you need: thought strategies and do strategies- How to stop shame spirals and “look back with love” after a mistake- Why mistakes only become failures when you don’t extract the lessonYour homework for today:On the left side of a page, list 10 very specific situations where life tends to derail your plan. On the right side, write your strategies — what you’ll think, say, or do instead when those moments happen. Set a 5–7 minute timer and get it done, even if your brain throws a tantrum.If you want support, feedback, or coaching, email me at [email protected] if you’re ready to stop relying on motivation and start building skills that last, come join me inside the Yummy Mummy Experience — my six-month group coaching program that guarantees you lose weight for the last time or your money back.

“Drop 5 lbs While Life Is Life-ing” Challenge (Day 2)
Day 2 of the Drop Five Pounds While Life Is Life-ing Challenge is all about the WHY.Yesterday, we built your plan — the one that balances your hunger hormones and actually works in real life. Today, we’re going deeper. Because if you don’t know *why* you want to lose weight, heal your relationship with food, or feel better in your body… life will absolutely knock you off track.In this episode, I walk you through how to uncover your true, compelling reasons — not the surface-level ones, but the *why behind the why*. The kind of motivation you can actually feel in your body. The kind that gives you a fighting chance when the cupcake shows up at 2:30 PM or the food chatter tries to hijack your brain.You’ll learn why weight loss is a *remembering practice*, how daily journaling keeps you connected to what matters most, and why attaching emotion to your goals is the secret sauce for sustainability. We also talk about the scale — how to use it as neutral data instead of a weapon, and how to stop outsourcing your self-worth to a tiny metal box on your bathroom floor.This episode is your permission slip to get honest, get intentional, and reconnect with what you actually want — for your body, your energy, and your life.In this episode, you’ll hear:- Why your “why” has to be compelling (and how to find the why behind the why)- How journaling daily keeps you anchored when life gets busy- Why attaching a feeling to your goals changes everything- How to stop letting the scale dictate your mood or worth- Why progress is never linear — and how to think like a data head instead of a drama queen- How to set one big intention for the year and one tiny goal for this weekYour homework for today:Write down 10–20 compelling reasons you want to lose weight or heal your relationship with food — and for each one, write how it will *feel* in your body. Then, each day, pick one reason and reconnect with it in your journal.If you have questions or want coaching support, email me at [email protected] if you’re ready to stop starting over and lose weight for the last time, come join me inside the Yummy Mummy Experience — my six-month group coaching program that guarantees results or your money back.

Why Self-Reflection Feels So Hard (and How to Do It Anyway)
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.
Why Plastic Surgery or Ozempic is Not Enough with Dr. Sarah Crystal
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.

How to Free Yourself From the Marriage You Accidentally Signed Up For: the 6-second kiss, the Power of One, and creating a new marriage contract can set you free
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. All the details are at lauraconley.com. You don’t have to keep living in a contract you never meant to sign. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Coco + Lala Show: Break the Good Girl Playbook: Authenticity, Imperfection, and Getting a Little Unhinged
Want some pure chaos in the best way? You're in the right place. Nicole and I are back with another Coco & Lala Show takeover, and we're inviting you to get a little…unhinged. 😂 Underneath all the silliness is a really important conversation: so many of us are still living by the invisible “Good Girl playbook” — the rules about how we’re supposed to look, act, mother, eat, and show up. We’re following all the rules, checking all the boxes (degree, job, husband, kids, house)…and then wondering why we still feel numb, restless, and like something is missing. Hit play to hear:- Why laughing until you cry needs to be a real goal on your calendar - How the “Good Girl playbook” gets passed down and keeps you small (and bored) - Why perfection is boring, inauthentic, and totally not the vibe anymore - How authenticity and a little harmless chaos can actually support your weight loss journey - A simple challenge: choose one unhinged thing to do this week and *do it on purpose* - Laura’s own unhinged act (hello, first tattoo at the Yummy Mummy retreat 👀) - How envy can actually be a compass pointing you toward your truest desires If you’ve been over-scrolling, overeating, over-drinking, or over-Netflixing because your life feels a little…beige, this conversation is your reminder that you’re allowed to color outside the lines. You do not have to earn your fun, your weirdness, or your joy. And babe, if this hits and you’re like, “Okay, I’m ready to stop following the rules around food and my body too,” now is *the* time to jump into The Yummy Mummy Experience.
