Hey babes! This episode is a little different—and honestly, a little vulnerable. I'm pulling back the curtain on a big decision I've made for this summer: I'm taking a semi-sabbatical.Not because I'm burned out. Not because I don't love my business. And definitely not because I'm quitting coaching. In fact, this whole process has made one thing crystal clear: I absolutely LOVE coaching women and helping them lose weight for the last time.But somewhere along the way, I realized that even though I left corporate America to create more freedom, I had slowly become an employee in my own business. My schedule wasn't changing for summer. My priorities weren't changing for summer. And that's when I knew something needed to shift.In this episode, I'm sharing why I'm slowing down, what I'm learning about ambition, motherhood, self-care, and what it really means to create a life you actually want to live. We talk about overworking, people-pleasing, parenting, entrepreneurship, family systems, and how to stop building a life you need a vacation from.If you've been feeling stretched too thin, pulled in a million directions, or wondering what YOU actually want, this conversation is for you.Listen in to hear:- Why I'm taking a semi-sabbatical this summer- The wake-up call that made me realize my life needed to change- How I became an employee inside my own business- Why slowing down feels wildly uncomfortable (and why I'm doing it anyway)- The difference between working in your family and working on your family- How to create your own "Summer Of..." theme and use it to guide decisions- Why you can have it all—but you can't do it all- The question every woman should be asking herself: What do I actually want?- How I'm redefining success, ambition, motherhood, and freedomAnd if you want support creating your own Best Summer Ever while still making progress toward a big goal, come join us inside Best Summer Ever!We're kicking off July 6 and running through August 31 with Voxer coaching, coaching calls, co-working sessions, accountability, and all the support you need to create something incredible while becoming obsessed with your actual life.Grab your spot here:https://portal.lauraconley.com/best-summer-ever-2026Or send me a DM on Instagram and I'll point you in the right direction.I love you all.

If you keep waiting to feel confident, ready, or comfortable before you say yes to the thing you actually want. A new job. A retreat. A party where you only know one person. Dating again. Speaking up. Starting the thing. Nicole and I are unpacking why “being comfortable” is the wrong goal—and what actually works instead.We talk about why new spaces are *supposed* to feel uncomfortable, why courage has a real physical sensation in your body (and why it kind of sucks), and how waiting to feel ready is often the very thing keeping you stuck. If you’ve ever told yourself “I’ll do it once I feel better / calmer / more confident,” this episode will lovingly interrupt that pattern.You’ll hear us cover:- Why you don’t get comfortable *before* new experiences—you get comfortable *by doing them*- What courage actually feels like in the body (and why it’s not calm)- How to build a simple personal “toolbox” for uncomfortable moments- Why breath is the most underrated regulation tool you already have- Grounding practices that help you come back into your body fast- How reframing nerves can immediately reduce anxiety- Why everyone you think is confident is still nervous- The difference between fear as a signal vs fear as a stop sign- How to stop letting discomfort talk you out of your dreamsAnd if you’re a mom listening to this thinking, “Okay, but I barely survived January”...let’s be honest: January for moms is a prank.While everyone else is goal-setting and “new year, new me”-ing, we’re taking down decorations, surviving winter break, hosting family, and running on fumes. So if you’re just now feeling ready to think about your year… you’re right on time.That’s why we created The Mom’s Actual New Year (Feb 9–26) — a 3-week, bite-sized, fun-forward reset designed for real mom life. No pressure. No perfection. Just live coaching, accountability, and a vision board party to help you reconnect to what you actually want and start moving—without waiting to feel ready.Because comfort doesn’t come first. Action does.February is the real new year. Dur doi.👉 Join us here: https://portal.lauraconley.com/offers/LvJeq9H2If there’s something you’ve been avoiding because you’re “not comfortable yet,” consider this your nudge. You don’t need to feel ready. You just need to go. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week on the Coco & Lala Show, I’m sitting down with Nicole to talk about how we’re actually planning a new year—without burning ourselves out, shaming ourselves, or pretending we’re robots.We’ve both lived the extremes. We’ve set way too many goals, gone all-in with big energy, and watched it fall apart a few weeks later. And we’ve also been in seasons where it felt easier to opt out altogether because trying again felt exhausting. In this episode, we’re talking about the middle path—the place where real, sustainable change actually happens.We share why extreme goal-setting is so tempting (hello dopamine), why it rarely lasts, and how we’re choosing to approach 2026 in a way that fits real life. This conversation is especially for anyone coming out of the holidays feeling tired, overstimulated, or behind before the year has even really begun.In this Coco & Lala conversation, we talk about:- Why all-or-nothing goal setting keeps us stuck- What the “middle path” looks like in our real lives- How we’re choosing 1–3 meaningful goals instead of overwhelming ourselves- Why we plan for mistakes instead of pretending we won’t make them- How perfectionism sneaks in and quietly derails progress- What we do when motivation feels low or nonexistent- Why joy belongs in the plan—not as a reward later- How we use fresh-start energy without turning it into pressure- Why who we become matters more than whether we hit the goal perfectlyIf you’re feeling discouraged, unmotivated, or like you’re already behind, I want you to hear this: nothing has gone wrong. You’re allowed to move at your own pace. You’re allowed to do this differently. And you don’t need your entire year figured out to take the next right step.And if this conversation resonates and you’re ready to take this work deeper, come join me inside the Yummy Mummy Experience. This is where we take these ideas and turn them into real, sustainable change—with coaching, tools, and support to help you lose weight and live your life without burning out.Learn more at lauraconley.com.

Welcome to Day 4 of the Drop Five Pounds While Life Is Life-ing Challenge — and today we’re tackling one of the most misunderstood parts of weight loss: hunger.So many of us have been taught that hunger is a problem to solve, suppress, or avoid at all costs. But hunger isn’t the enemy. Ignoring it, fearing it, or fighting it is what keeps you stuck in overeating, binge–restrict cycles, and food obsession.In this episode, I break down the difference between physical hunger and emotional hunger, and why learning to trust your body again is a non-negotiable if you want to lose weight for the last time. We talk about what normal hunger actually feels like, why letting yourself get overly hungry backfires, and how diet culture has trained us to disconnect from our body’s signals.You’ll also learn how to eat in a way that stabilizes your hunger hormones so you’re not white-knuckling your way through the day — and why honoring hunger builds trust with yourself faster than any “discipline” ever could.This episode is about safety. About listening instead of controlling. And about learning that your body is not broken — it’s been trying to talk to you this whole time.In this episode, you’ll hear:- Why hunger is a normal, neutral signal — not a problem- The difference between physical hunger and emotional hunger- What happens when you ignore hunger for too long- How restriction fuels overeating and food noise- Why trusting your body is a skill (and how to rebuild it)- How balanced eating supports hunger hormones- What to do when hunger shows up earlier than expected- Why honoring hunger actually makes weight loss easierYour homework for today:Throughout the day, pause before you eat and ask: “Am I physically hungry, emotionally hungry, or both?” Eat when you’re hungry without judgment, and notice what it feels like to respond with curiosity instead of control. Write down what you observe — no fixing, no shaming.If you want support or coaching, email me at laura@lauraconley.com.And if you’re ready to stop fighting your body and start working with it, come join me inside the Yummy Mummy Experience — my six-month group coaching program that guarantees results or your money back.

Day 2 of the Drop Five Pounds While Life Is Life-ing Challenge is all about the WHY.Yesterday, we built your plan — the one that balances your hunger hormones and actually works in real life. Today, we’re going deeper. Because if you don’t know *why* you want to lose weight, heal your relationship with food, or feel better in your body… life will absolutely knock you off track.In this episode, I walk you through how to uncover your true, compelling reasons — not the surface-level ones, but the *why behind the why*. The kind of motivation you can actually feel in your body. The kind that gives you a fighting chance when the cupcake shows up at 2:30 PM or the food chatter tries to hijack your brain.You’ll learn why weight loss is a *remembering practice*, how daily journaling keeps you connected to what matters most, and why attaching emotion to your goals is the secret sauce for sustainability. We also talk about the scale — how to use it as neutral data instead of a weapon, and how to stop outsourcing your self-worth to a tiny metal box on your bathroom floor.This episode is your permission slip to get honest, get intentional, and reconnect with what you actually want — for your body, your energy, and your life.In this episode, you’ll hear:- Why your “why” has to be compelling (and how to find the why behind the why)- How journaling daily keeps you anchored when life gets busy- Why attaching a feeling to your goals changes everything- How to stop letting the scale dictate your mood or worth- Why progress is never linear — and how to think like a data head instead of a drama queen- How to set one big intention for the year and one tiny goal for this weekYour homework for today:Write down 10–20 compelling reasons you want to lose weight or heal your relationship with food — and for each one, write how it will *feel* in your body. Then, each day, pick one reason and reconnect with it in your journal.If you have questions or want coaching support, email me at laura@lauraconley.com.And if you’re ready to stop starting over and lose weight for the last time, come join me inside the Yummy Mummy Experience — my six-month group coaching program that guarantees results or your money back.

Hey babe — this episode is a must-listen as we start out the year. We’re talking about why so many of us avoid reflecting on our past year… and how we can finally do it without spiraling into shame, guilt, or self-judgment.We break down why reflection feels so loaded (especially for women), and how to flip the script so we can actually get excited about the things that didn’t go the way we planned. Instead of using our past as evidence that something is “wrong” with us, we show you how to treat it like clean data — information that helps us move forward faster.This conversation is raw, funny, and incredibly practical. We talk about using your photo album and calendar as simple reflection tools, and we share our biggest lessons from the year, around movement, friendship, intuition, rest, boundaries, and slowing down.You’ll hear us talk about:Why reflection brings up so much shame (and how we stop making it mean something about us)How we learn to get excited about failures instead of beating ourselves upWhy collecting data is the fastest way to create real changeSimple ways we reflect using our calendar and photo rollWhy movement, strength training, and rest completely change our mindsetWhy scheduling fun and connection isn’t optional — it’s a needHow insourcing (trusting ourselves first) changed everythingWhy slowing down and breaking up with hustle actually worksHow intentional time with our kids doesn’t “just happen”, it has to be plannedIf you’ve been avoiding looking back because you’re scared of what you’ll find, this episode is your permission slip to do it differently. We think you’ll be surprised by how much there is to celebrate...and how powerful it feels to learn instead of judge.Next up, we’ll be diving into how we’re planning 2026 — but reflection is the foundation. Don’t skip this part.Let us know if you’re reflecting on 2025 and what lessons stood out for you. Happy New Year, babe. 💫 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
