About this listen

If you’ve been dieting and exercising your whole life and have yet to reach your weight-loss goal and keep it off, this podcast is for you! Most programs solve for the effect (the excess weight) but not the overeating problem - the reasons why you put on the extra weight in the first place. In each episode you’ll learn how to master your thinking so you can banish self-sabotage, feel at peace with food and finally experience life in the body you secretly know is your natural shape. Let’s do it together. Find Free PDF Handouts at mindfulshape.com/resources

    137 It's Never Too Late - Cynthia's Story
    May 14 2025

    Meet my client Cynthia. She shares her honest and relatable experience of transforming her relationship with food, body, and herself and reaching your desired weight. If you've ever felt like you're intellectually aware of what needs to change but are still stuck, this episode will deeply resonate with you.

    When we started she felt stuck in temporary success and long-term frustration and through our work together, she uncovered hidden thought errors, learned how to regulate emotions without relying on food, and built sustainable habits rooted in self-compassion rather than white-knuckled discipline.

    She opens up about what surprised her the most—how tenderness and curiosity became the foundation for lasting change, and how she slowly began to see herself differently after years of struggling.

    We talk about the power of having a compelling vision—not as a future ideal, but as an anchoring belief about who you are today. She opens up about letting go of food panic, becoming more intentional with wine and celebration, and redefining success as small, consistent steps rather than perfection.

    Her story is a beautiful reminder that weight loss isn’t just physical—it’s emotional, it's about our self concept, and deeply human.

    136 Regretting What You Ate
    May 8 2025
    How often do you regret what you eat? Like eating that leftover easter chocolate. It wasn’t even good quality.


    Oftentimes we eat really healthy food but regret the amount of food we ate. We look down and the whole bag is empty. The whole sleeve of crackers is gone. How did that happen?


    Regret can be one of our most powerful emotional reminders that reflection, change and growth are available and necessary.

    135 Aliveness
    Apr 29 2025

    When it comes to releasing excess weight you don't automatically think, the key is cultivating more aliveness, presence and curiosity, but it works! Today I'm talking about two types of awareness: cognitive awareness (I know why I do what I do) and embodied awareness (I know what I’m feeling) and how we can use them to help us reach our desired weight and feel in charge around food.

    In this episode you’ll learn:

    • A new way to think about dopamine, snacking and doomscrolling
    • Why curiosity is the most underrated skill in releasing weight
