Episode Details

This episode is the kind of conversation that happens when two coaches stop trying to check all the boxes—and start talking about what really matters. And it's not all about the food or exercise.

Jessica Mitchell is back for the third time, and this one hits differently.

We're talking about how both of us have shifted away from only focusing on food and exercise to helping women heal what's going on beneath the surface. From emotional resistance to fear of being seen, to what happens when you're stuck in that loop of knowing what to do but still not doing it—this is the stuff that REALLY matters.

We also open up about our own personal stories, what tapping (EFT) has helped us release, and why we believe weight loss is NEVER just about weight.
