This episode is for every woman over 40 who's ready to scream, “I'm doing EVERYTHING right… and still gaining weight!”
If you’ve been eating clean, hitting your protein goals, going to yoga, and guzzling water like it’s your job—but the scale still won't budge—this might be the episode that sets you free.
Because here's the tea: you can't lose weight if you're stressed out. Period.
In this episode, I break down why cortisol is the silent saboteur keeping you stuck—and what to do about it (without quitting your job or moving to Bali). Plus, I’ll share how I reinvented my lifestyle after being diagnosed with adrenal fatigue and how I now teach my clients to lead themselves through stress like grown women.
And yes—I'll walk you through my go-to De-Stress & Rest ritual (the real MVP of this launch season).
We’re not doing band-aid solutions over here. This is identity-level healing that helps you become the woman who keeps it off—for good.
Inside This Episode, You’ll Learn:
Why high cortisol shuts down fat loss (even if you're eating perfectly)
The shocking moment my Oura Ring told me I was in a 7-hour stress spiral
How I stopped the treadmill mid-step and flipped the script on stress
My personal De-Stress & Rest ritual (magnesium, sleepy tea, and legs-up-the-wall magic)
Why Learn & Lose includes a lesson called “Stress Less Without Giving Up Your Favorite Foods” (yes, we talk about brownies!)
How the Stress Scorecard reveals your hidden stress patterns—and helps you reset fast
