Or that being a mom, busy professional, or even a dietitian should make things easier—but you're still struggling, feeling overwhelmed, and just want to fit back into your pre-baby jeans? That was Melissa. In this episode, I’m sitting down with Melissa, a mom of two, a working dietitian, and one of my recent Mindful Weight Loss Academy grads who came to me six months postpartum, totally overwhelmed, frustrated, and feeling like a failure. She gets real about the moment she finally said YES to help, what it felt like to admit she couldn’t do it alone (even with the tools!), and how she lost 21 pounds WITHOUT counting a single calorie. We talk about the real shifts that made it happen—from learning how to actually listen to her body, to rebuilding confidence, regaining control, and not letting sourdough steal the show. She’s breaking down the wins beyond the scale, major mindset “aha’s,” feeling confident again, and why real accountability (with a coach who actually gets it!) made all the difference. If you’ve ever felt ashamed to ask for help, scared to invest in yourself, or stuck in the “I should know this” spiral—this episode is for YOU. xoxo, Jackie Connect with Melissa: Instagram: @melissahohulin MORE FROM JACKIE: &lt;&lt; Ready to lose weight, fix your metabolism &amp; reach your body transformation goals without restriction?
