Today’s episode? It’s not just a mic-drop—it’s a soul shake. We’re wrapping up the Self-Sabotage Series by cracking open the one pattern that’s been quietly running your life: emotional eating. You say you want to lose weight. You say you want more energy. But if you're stuffing stress with Cheetos and chasing the news with wine, your brain’s in self-protection mode—not sabotage. Wild, right? In this episode, I’m giving you the real reason your eating feels out of control—and spoiler alert—it’s not about food. It’s about your emotions. More specifically: how you’ve never been taught to process them like the grown woman you are. No shame, no judgment—just a powerful reframe and a super simple 3-step plan to get you back in the driver’s seat of your life and your weight loss. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: Why emotional eating isn’t about willpower (and never was) How the world’s chaos is secretly hijacking your hunger The dirty little secret about self-sabotage no one’s talking about My 3-step Stress Eating Recovery Plan to process emotions like a boss How to stop numbing your life and start living it Whether your self-sabotage looks like popcorn binges, perfectionism, or workaholism, this episode is your wake-up call.

Let me say this louder for the women in the back: you cannot lose weight if you're stressed out. Period. You’re eating clean, lifting weights, hitting your protein goals—and still, the scale won’t budge. You feel like you're doing everything right, but your body’s stuck in survival mode and holding onto fat for dear life. In this episode, I break down what’s really going on in your body when you're stressed—and how chronic cortisol is slowing your metabolism, messing with your hormones, and blocking fat loss. I’m also sharing my personal journey of healing from adrenal fatigue, how I reinvented my lifestyle for real recovery, and my go-to De-Stress & Rest Ritual that flipped the switch on my nervous system and got my body into fat loss mode. 🧠 It’s not just about what’s on your plate—it’s about what’s on your mind.

In this episode of Stop. Dieting. Forever., I’m flipping the script on “sugar addiction” and revealing what’s really going on when you feel like you can’t stop eating sweets. (Hint: it’s not the cookies—it’s the capacity.) If you’ve ever said, “I’m addicted to sugar,” this episode is for you. I’m breaking down what a self-regulation gap really is, why no amount of willpower can fix it, and what it means to build emotional fitness like the grown woman you are.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode: Why your cravings aren’t a character flaw—they’re a call for emotional relief What a self-regulation gap is (and why you probably weren’t taught how to close it) The reason sugar “works” and why it’s become your go-to What emotional fitness actually is—and how it creates true freedom from food How to stop labeling yourself and start listening to your body instead 🎧 Ready to close the self-regulation gap and stop using food to cope?

You know I love a full-circle moment, and today’s episode is exactly that. Remember my client Nisha from Episode 54? She hit her forever weight of 154 pounds without dieting, calorie counting, or giving up wine. Well, sis is back. And she's not just maintaining—she’s thriving. In this follow-up convo, we go way beyond the scale. We talk about what it really looks like to live in your reinvention. You’ll hear how Nisha’s navigating menopause, learning to lift weights like a boss, drinking less wine without feeling deprived, and journaling her way to deeper emotional regulation. This episode is your permission slip to stop obsessing over perfection and start focusing on peace. Because the “after” doesn’t mean happily ever after, it means you keep evolving.

Ever found yourself crushing your goals all week, only to throw it all away with one “screw it” moment on Friday night? SAME. 🙋🏽‍♀️ In this bonus episode, I share what sabotage looked like for me as a corporate consultant (hint: wine, stress, and conference snacks), why women over 40 are especially vulnerable to it, and why your weight loss journey isn’t about food—it’s about identity. I’m also officially inviting you to my free live training on June 13, 2025 called Stop Sabotaging Your Weight Loss Journey in 2025. It’s the mindset reframe you didn’t know you needed… until now. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: Why perfectionism is actually a form of sabotage How corporate culture trained you to override your body’s signals Why diets don’t solve emotional eating (and what does) What it really takes to stop starting over every Monday 🔗 Save your seat at jenniferdent.com/freetraining

I see you. You took the meds, the weight came off, the compliments rolled in. But now? You’re spiraling. Hunger’s back. The food noise is deafening.

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what actually happens after GLP-1s and teaching you my signature SHIFT Method to help you transition into your new normal without fear, drama, or another diet. This one’s for the woman who’s done shrinking her body to feel worthy… and is ready to reinvent who she is.

What if you could lose body fat, gain lean muscle, and raise your metabolism in just 30 days, without counting every carb or signing your soul over to spin class? In this episode, I’m giving you the real-deal, behind-the-scenes breakdown of my May wellness update. I’ll show you exactly what I did (and didn’t do) to get these results in perimenopause and why scale weight is the least interesting thing about my body right now. I’m not on HRT (at the moment). I didn’t track every bite. I didn’t punish myself with two-a-days. I honed a few healthy habits, and the biggest flex? I became a more powerful, peaceful, self-trusting version of me.

I’m not here to bash weight loss meds. But I am here to say the quiet part out loud. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on GLP-1s like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro—and telling you what most “experts” are too scared to say. This isn’t about judgment. I’ve been there. I’ve popped pills and prayed they’d shrink me into someone I could finally love. But here’s the deal: weight loss shots may shrink your appetite, but they don’t shrink the reasons you overeat. If you’re not working on your mindset and identity, you’re just renting results—and the rent is due the minute the meds stop. I’ll break down what the research says, what the Facebook groups aren’t telling you, and the powerful truth about emotional eating, identity transformation, and how to finally lose weight in a way that lasts forever. Yes, even in your perimenopause era.

If you’ve ever thought, “I know what to do, but I’m just not doing it,” this episode is going to light you up. Sarah came to me at age 55, deep in the chaos of menopause, emotional eating, and diet burnout. She wasn’t in a program. She wasn’t “launch ready.” She just sent me an email and said: “How can I work with you?” We had a Tea Chat. And that one conversation? It changed everything. Inside this episode, Sarah shares how she: Lost 11 pounds and kept it off (even after breaking her arm!) Rebuilt trust with herself after decades of compulsive food noise Quieted the guilt, shame, and mental obsession with eating Shifted her identity from chaos to calm using my mindset-first method Found new energy to move her body, meditate, and reclaim joy This isn’t a story about a meal plan or a perfect morning routine. It’s about real reinvention. About trusting the process before you see the result.
