What if you found out that alllll of the stories that you tell yourself about what you’re not good at, and all of the negative internal dialog that you have about why you’re not good enough was explained away by a diagnosis? That it wasn’t your fault? I am so thrilled to have Paula Engebretson on the podcast today to talk about ADHD & how it presents in women, why women in midlife are getting diagnosed at alarming rates, and what some of the common signs and symptoms are. Having her on the show was so enlightening & explained so much of the way that my brain works. I can’t wait to share her expertise with you. Tune in to learn more about ADHD, how it affects women differently than men, how it differs from what you might think, and then what to do if you want to explore the Read More . . .
Done with Dieting Episode #83: How Policy Impacts our Health with Marissa McKool
Is it rest? Or laziness? How do you think about rest? Is it something that you think that you have to earn? Do you feel guilty if you’re sitting and other people are doing it? Do you believe that rest is just laziness in disguise? So many women are socialized to believe that we have to constantly produce results or we don’t feel like we’re “earning our keep” – that we always have to be doing for others in order to feel good about ourselves. My guest on this episode works with folks who work in public health to help them recover from burnout, and understand how rest is important. We also take a deep dive into the complex topic of how we vote, and our elected lawmakers directly impact our health, wellness, and weight. About Marissa McKool: Marissa McKool, MPH is a former public health leader turned career and Read More . . .
Done with Dieting Episode #82: Why Mainstream Diets Don’t Work for Women in Midlife
Hint: it’s not because you’re lazy or don’t have willpower. When you purchase a product or service that does not work or even causes harm, you might blame the company, demand a refund, leave a bad review, and skip out on it next time. When that product or service is a part of the diet industry, you may blame yourself and return time and again to spend even more money on these services. Why is that? Well, unlike most other factors in our life, we consider our body’s weight and appearance to be solely a personal responsibility and, for some, a personal failure. Women are continually socialized to think that WE’RE the ones who are wrong. That there’s something wrong with us – our bodies are ‘mysterious’ or weird. Women are not little men & so our bodies respond to food and exercise very differently than men. So we need Read More . . .

Done with Dieting Episode #20: Client Spotlight Annie – Growth in the Plateau
Today’s guest on the Done with Dieting Podcast is a client spotlight: Annie. You are going to want to listen to Annie’s story because it is one that so many of us resonate with: being first aware of our body & how it doesn’t fit in in our early teens, followed by years of dieting with some success only to find ourselves inexplicably gaining the weight back – unable to stop it – and then the cycle continues over and over and over again. When Annie started coaching, she had no solid belief that she would be able to get to her goal and stay there. Listening to her body seemed like a platitude that sounds nice, but what does it actually mean? And the idea that she could sit down in front of a pizza with her family & not want to eat all of it was a pipe Read More . . .

I’ve seen this pattern only get worse over time, but the great news is these thoughts aren’t facts. To declare that your life is over Read More . . .
