Or like one more doctor visit will send you over the edge? You’re not alone—and you’re definitely not broken. In this episode, I’m catching up with Alana, a mom of two, and a rockstar Mindful Weight Loss Academy client who shares her raw, unfiltered story about losing 35 pounds WITHOUT giving up mac and cheese or Starbucks (umm, yes please). We’re talking about her wild weight journey through pregnancies, how she bounced back from “rock bottom” moments, and what finally clicked for her when we started working together. We totally bust the myth that you have to cut out carbs, calorie count obsessively, or jump on those diet meds (yup, we talk Ozempic, too). Alana spills exactly how she shifted her mindset, ditched restriction, and started eating like a mindful badass instead—making small, sustainable tweaks that stuck for good. If you’ve tried ALL. THE. DIETS. and nothing sticks, or you’re tired of starting over on Monday, Alana’s story is your proof that it is. Grab your coffee (protein shake optional), hit play, and let’s chat about how you can make weight loss work for real—without giving up the foods you love or your sanity. xoxo, Jackie P.S.
