Today’s episode is such a treat because you’re meeting Christine, a super busy working mom of 2 who just graduated from the Mindful Weight Loss Academy (and let me tell you, her story is incredible!). If you’re burned out on strict meal plans, exhausted from counting macros, or convinced that weight loss requires protein shakes, perfection, and math spreadsheets, this conversation is going to feel like a deep breath. Christine opens up about her biggest lightbulb moments, including the day she realized her body isn’t a trash can for her kids’ leftovers, the moment she understood why the all-or-nothing approach kept her stuck, and how breaking up with old food rules finally helped her lose 20 pounds without counting a single calorie. And yes… she still enjoys her baked goods. We talk all about gentle accountability, why support and community matters so much, and how the right mindset (not another diet) is the real MVP for making changes that last. Christine shares how she went from questioning mindful eating to fully trusting her body, getting stronger, lifting heavier than ever, and literally glowing from the inside out. If you’re ready to feel like you’re finally in the driver’s seat of your health instead of riding shotgun with yet another crash diet, this episode is going to give you every bit of hope, encouragement, and “oh my gosh, me too” energy you need. Whether you're a mama juggling all the things or someone just craving peace with food, Christine’s story will show you what’s possible. xoxo, Jackie P.S. Want to see Christine’s before & afters?
