Lose Weight Mindfully | weight loss, mindful eating, healthy recipes, emotional eating, boost energy

Ever tried everything to lose weight—and I mean everything—and still felt stuck? If you’re burned out from tracking, restricting, and trying to be “good,” this episode is going to feel like a big deep breath.
Today, I’m joined by my amazing client Terri, who shares her story of losing 38 pounds after surviving aggressive blood cancer and chemo. Yep, she’s been through it. Post-treatment, her energy was shot, her labs were a mess, and every “normal” dietitian gave her advice that didn’t fit her life or her healing body. It wasn’t until she found mindful eating and our work together that things started to click.
Terri opens up about what it was really like to feel hopeless, skeptical, and just plain done with trying. She talks about the moment she decided to bet on herself one last time…and how it changed everything. No calorie counting. No burnout. No forcing herself to eat breakfast while nauseous just to hit macros. Just small, powerful shifts that worked for her real life, on her timeline.
We get into the mindset stuff, the supplement support, the daily check-ins, the slow but steady weight loss that stuck, and how she finally got her energy and confidence back. This isn’t a quick fix or a perfect before-and-after—it’s the story of someone who learned how to listen to her body, eat without fear, and feel damn proud of herself again.
If you’re ready to finally bet on yourself and get off the self-sabotage merry-go-round, hit play! Let’s talk real, sustainable, forever results with some laughter and a LOT of honesty. I know Terri’s story will move you.
xoxo,
Jackie

Are you on a roll with your healthy habits, feeling amazing, and then life absolutely blows it up? The kids go back to school, work gets crazy, you travel, and the routine you built just falls apart. That little voice starts saying you will get back on track when things calm down. Here is the truth nobody tells you. Life is never going to stop being lifey. The chaos is not a season, it is the baseline, and waiting for calm to take care of yourself means waiting forever.
In this episode, I am getting real honest about my own summer, the Alaska trip, Ezra starting school, the business growing like crazy, and how I found myself doing the exact thing I tell my clients not to do, putting myself on the back burner. Skipping walks, eating non-meals over the sink, staying up way past my bedtime. So I came back to the principle I teach every woman inside Mindful Weight Loss Academy. You do not prioritize your schedule, you schedule your priorities.
We are talking about the three shifts that actually keep your weight loss on track when life gets busy. Why building a minimum viable routine beats waiting for the perfect one, why scheduling your priorities like actual meetings changes everything, and why giving yourself permission to do less and trust that it compounds is the hardest and most important shift of all. I even get into the real research behind why deciding in advance when you will do something makes you way more likely to actually follow through.
Busy does not have to mean starting over, because it never did. If you are in a lifey season right now and your health keeps getting bumped to the bottom of the list, this episode is your permission slip and your plan.
xoxo,
Jackie

Can I be honest with you? Most women who are setting weight loss goals are doing it completely wrong. Not because they are not smart or motivated or capable. But because nobody ever taught them the rules that actually make a goal work. So they set the same goal over and over, start strong, fall off, restart, and spend years wondering what is wrong with them. Nothing is wrong with them. Everything is wrong with how the goal was set.
In this episode, I am giving you the 5 rules I wish someone had handed me before I started my 65-pound weight loss journey. The ones that changed everything when I finally figured them out. We are talking about why vague goals are just wishes that never come true, why showing up consistently beats having the perfect plan every single time, why respecting the timeline is the only way to build results that actually last, why the hard moments are not a sign you are failing and how to prepare for them before they knock you off track, and why going all in is the single most important decision you will ever make on your weight loss journey.
These are the exact expectations I teach inside Mindful Weight Loss Academy on our weekly coaching calls. And every single woman in the room has an aha moment when we go through them. Today that woman is you.
The goal is not the problem. It never was. The rules around it are everything. Press play and let's set your next goal the right way.
xoxo,
Jackie

Are you eating well, working out consistently, doing everything you have been told to do and still not losing weight? Maybe even gaining? You have blamed your metabolism, your hormones, your genetics, your age. But what if none of those are actually the problem? What if the real reason your metabolism feels completely broken is something almost nobody is talking about honestly and something you have complete control over?
In this episode, I am giving you the full picture on cortisol and why chronically elevated stress hormones are the single biggest reason most women cannot lose weight no matter what they eat or how hard they exercise. And before we get into it I want to be upfront about something. I almost did not record this episode because the word cortisol has become one of the most overused and over-marketed words on the internet. I am not here to sell you a $300 cortisol test or an adaptogen supplement stack. I am here to tell you what cortisol actually is, why it actually matters for your weight loss, and what you can do about it for free starting today.
We are talking about why intense daily cardio is making your metabolism worse not better, why every time you restrict your food you are spiking the very hormone that makes fat loss impossible, and why nervous system regulation is the most powerful metabolism tool you are not using. This is the episode I wish I had when I was cutting a protein bar into thirds and doing HIIT seven days a week and still gaining weight.
Your metabolism is not broken. It is flooded with cortisol. And today we fix that. Press play.
xoxo,
Jackie

Ever hit that point where your jeans won’t button, nothing in your closet fits, and you’re debating between buying the next size up…or finally doing something about it? That was Caitlyn just 4 months ago.
In this episode, I sit down with Caitlyn—mom of two, part-time physical therapist, and now a proud graduate of the Mindful Weight Loss Academy. She showed up to our first call feeling stuck, burnt out, and completely “desperate.” Fast forward to today? She’s down 19 pounds, buying new jeans (in a smaller size), waking up at 5 a.m. to work out, and actually excited for family photos. And yes—she did all this without tracking a single calorie.
We talk about what it really looks like to break free from diet culture, how to make peace with food when you’ve been stuck in all-or-nothing thinking, and why Caitlyn now feels confident that she’ll never need another weight loss program again. She eats tacos. She eats ice cream. She also eats vegetables. Because balance.
If you’re over dieting and ready to feel like yourself again—this episode is your proof that it’s possible (and can still eat the damn taco and ice cream!)
xoxo,
Jackie
