Food feels like the only bright spot when life is loud. You are not broken. You are undernourished in pleasure. In this episode I explain why dopamine chasing ramps up in perimenopause, how the holidays amplify it, and simple grown woman standards that make food peaceful again. We use morning light, evening calm, and protein pairing to quiet cravings without dieting.

You can enjoy holiday food and still lose weight. In this first episode of the Eat, Drink and Be 10 Pounds Lighter series, I explain why women gain weight this time of year even when they swear they barely ate anything. And I teach you the Grown Woman Way to enjoy great food, protect your energy, and wake up proud. No diets. No starving. Just standards that support the life you want.

If you’ve ever realized you’re the same weight as last year and thought, “What am I missing?” this episode is your deep breath. I’m walking you through the 4 checkpoints I use with private clients to troubleshoot a stalled scale—without calorie counting, macro math, or food policing. You’ll learn how to tell emotional hunger from physical hunger, how to stop at satisfied (not stuffed), how to end autopilot eating, and how to handle emotions without food. We’re not adding rules. We’re updating identity.

Today I’m talking with Alexandra Janelli, founder of GoBurble—the next-gen hypnosis app that lets you build your own guided session in four clicks. Think “choose-your-own-adventure” for your subconscious. We talk about why willpower taps out after lunch, how safety turns off the snack siren, and why identity is the missing ingredient in your weight loss.

Alex and I also spill the tea on our collab: Stop Dieting Forever inside GoBurble. It’s my philosophy—identity-based weight loss—translated into subconscious language so your brain stops arguing and starts upgrading. No moralizing food. No “start over Monday.” Just you, calm and in charge.

GLP-1 weight-loss drugs like Ozempic®, Wegovy®, and Mounjaro™ can reset your appetite—but only you can rewire your brain.

In this episode, I’m showing you how to use your quiet-appetite season on Ozempic as a bridge, not a crutch. You’ll learn how to shift from the Dieter’s Mindset to the Stop Dieting Forever Mindset and build habits that actually stick while your food noise is quiet.

You know that Monday-morning moment when you step on the scale after a fun weekend… and it’s up three to five pounds? Cue the mental chaos: What did I eat? Why did I do that?

Take a deep breath, friend. The scale didn’t betray you — it just gave you data.

In this episode of Stop. Dieting. Forever., I’m teaching you how to decode those numbers and ditch the drama. You’ll learn the Stop Dieting Forever Mindset — how to turn scale spikes into simple feedback, and how to use my five-point Satisfaction Scale so you can trust your body, not a diet rule.

We’ll talk hydration, hormones, nervous-system calm, and why babies and zebras are your new nutrition mentors (yes, really).

If you’re planning dessert halfway through dinner, you don’t have a sugar addiction—you have a satisfaction deficit. In EP 271, I unpack why your brain chases dessert (anticipation addiction, dieter’s mindset, and distraction), how to create satisfaction on purpose, and the simple experiments that end constant food thoughts. This is identity-based weight loss for grown women who want results without food drama.

What if I told you the real reason you keep failing at weight loss isn’t because of food, hormones, or even willpower? It’s because your why is all wrong.

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the activity—the exact exercise I use with my clients that flips their weight loss journey from self-punishment to freedom. This is the anchor that keeps you consistent, even when you’re not motivated.

The weight loss industry is shifting fast. Discover the three strategies women are using to lose weight in 2025, why over 80% regain it, and the anti-diet approach that actually works. Learn how to outsmart the food industry, regulate stress, and shift your identity to become the woman who keeps the weight off for good.

If you’ve been trying to “think” your way to weight loss while your body is in fight-or-flight, you’re working against biology. In this episode, I’m joined by nervous system and subconscious rewire coach, Colleen Faltot, to show you how to calm your body so fat loss finally feels doable—especially if you’re 40+ and done with white-knuckling.

If you’ve been eating less, being “good,” skipping dessert… and the scale still won’t budge—this episode is your wake-up call. I walk you through why eating less can backfire after 40 and introduce a game-changing concept: your weight identity. If your inner script says, “I only lose weight when I eat less,” your plan is sabotaged before breakfast.

I lost 30 pounds 11 years ago—but the real story is how I’ve kept it off ever since. In this episode, I share the mindset shifts, identity upgrades, and consistency strategies that made lasting weight loss possible (even through hormones, stress, and life).

Everyone’s talking about Serena Williams and GLP-1s. The headlines are everywhere, the comments are heated, and social media can’t stop buzzing.

But here’s the thing: almost everybody is missing the real conversation.

In this episode of Stop. Dieting. Forever., I share my take on Serena, GLP-1s, and the bigger questions no one else is asking about weight loss.

If you’ve ever wondered why weight loss feels harder than it should—or why so many of us feel like we can’t do it without outside help—you’re going to want to listen.

If “I’m too tired” keeps derailing your healthy habits—cooking, walking, gym, bedtime—this episode is your reset. Jennifer breaks down the three types of fatigue (physical, emotional, mental), how they masquerade as each other, and a dead-simple process to match the right fix to the right fatigue so you can stay consistent and lose weight—without another diet.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the four weight loss identities that determine whether you stay stuck or finally hit your forever weight — and how to shift from “food rules prisoner” to “self-empowered woman who eats what she loves and still loses weight.”

Because yes… you can lose weight this week without banning your favorite foods. And no, it’s not magic. It’s mindset + strategy + a sprinkle of self-compassion.

In this episode, I’m giving you the real reason your eating feels out of control right now—and spoiler alert—it’s not about food. It’s about your emotions. Specifically: how you’ve never been taught to process them like a grown woman.

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.

Can’t lose weight no matter how clean you eat or how often you workout? The real problem might be stress. In this episode, I break down how chronic stress impacts your metabolism, hormones, and weight—and exactly how to regulate your nervous system so your body can finally let go of the fat.

In this episode, Jennifer Dent Brown flips the script on sugar addiction, exploring how cravings are not a sign of weakness but a form of communication from your body. Discover how to stop using willpower to avoid sugar and learn to expand your emotional capacity instead.

Let’s talk about something most weight loss coaches don’t cover… VACATION.

You know the drill: You work hard to eat clean, move your body, track your progress… then BOOM—vacation hits and everything flies out the window faster than a TSA bin at security.

In this episode, I’m bringing back one of your favorite stories: my client Lorraine and her all-inclusive resort glow-up. No food guilt. No post-trip bloat. No “I need to detox” energy. Just real transformation—inside and out.

This isn’t a pep talk about willpower.
It’s a masterclass in identity-based weight loss on vacation—where you show up as the version of you who already has the body, the habits, and the freedom you’ve been craving.

This episode kicks off my brand new Stop. Dieting. Forever. Summer Rewind Series, and I’m giving it to you straight:

Summer is one of the hardest times to lose weight.

NOPE. Not this year.

In this episode, I’m laying down 6 rock-solid strategies to help you stay consistent, feel in control, and actually lose weight this summer—without dieting and without pretending you're suddenly going to say no to sangria and grilled burgers.
