Lose Weight For The Last Time

Hey babes! If meal prepping makes you want to scream, this episode is going to feel like a giant exhale. Because guess what? You do NOT need to spend your Sundays cooking dry chicken and sad Tupperware meals in order to lose weight for the last time. 🙃Today, I’m sharing one of my favorite tools for making weight loss feel easy, flexible, and actually sustainable: fridge prep. This simple shift removes decision fatigue, helps you stop spiraling into “there’s nothing to eat” mode, and makes it way easier to honor your future self without obsessing over food.We’re talking realistic, yummy, low-effort foods you can always have on hand so your brain stops defaulting to mac and cheese, frozen pizza, and random pantry chaos. Plus, I’m sharing why I’m obsessed with Instacart, how to “buy back” your time, and why trying harder is NOT the answer. Better systems are.In this episode, you’ll hear:- Why traditional meal prep creates all-or-nothing thinking- How fridge prep removes food stress and decision fatigue- My favorite easy fridge staples for quick meals and snacks- Why convenience is NOT cheating- The real reason Instacart can actually save you money- How better systems create sustainable weight lossAnd babe... the brand new LauraConley.com is officially LIVE 🎉 Go check it out and let me know what you think!

Hey friend—okay I know what you might be thinking…another weight loss story? But hear me out—this one is different.This is a real, raw, deeply human conversation with Julianne, one of my Yummy Mummy clients, and her story is going to hit you right in the heart.Because this isn’t just about losing 24 pounds (which she did 👏). It’s about breaking free from the cycle so many of us are stuck in—the “start Monday, mess up, beat yourself up, repeat forever” loop.Julianne shares how she spent years believing the answer was “out there”—the next diet, the next plan, the next program—while quietly believing she just wasn’t capable of actually sticking to anything.Sound familiar?What changed everything wasn’t more discipline. It wasn’t more restriction. It was learning how to work with herself instead of against herself.And the result? Not just weight loss—but feeling complete, at peace, and finally at home in her own life.This one is powerful. Let’s get into it.In this episode, we talk about:- The cycle of starting over (and why it’s NOT a willpower problem)- Why believing “I’m not capable” keeps you stuck- The real reason diets like Weight Watchers, sugar detoxes, and meal plans don’t last- How emotional avoidance shows up as overeating (even if you don’t think you’re an emotional eater)- What it actually looks like to rebuild your relationship with yourself- The shift from self-criticism → self-compassion (and why that changes everything)- Why accountability + community is the missing piece for most women- The moment everything clicked for Julianne—and why it felt like a “miracle”- What life feels like AFTER doing this work (hint: it’s not just about your body)Julianne lost 24 pounds during the Yummy Mummy Experience—but what she gained is so much bigger:✨ Peace with food  ✨ Compassion for herself  ✨ Freedom from the cycle  ✨ A sense of completeness she never thought was possible  And maybe my favorite part?People didn’t just notice her weight loss…they noticed her energy. Her presence. Her “aura.”Because when you change from the inside out—it shows.If you’ve been stuck in the cycle, thinking you just need to try harder…this episode is your wake-up call.You’re not broken. You’ve just never been shown how to do this in a way that actually works.And babe, if this is hitting home and you’re ready to stop starting over and finally lose weight for the last time…Go to 👉 lauraconley.com and book a call.The May Yummy Mummy Experience cohort is filling up, and this is your chance to get the coaching, community, and tools that actually create lasting change.I’ll see you inside 💖 Hosted on Acast.

Hey babe, this episode is going to hit you right in the heart (in the best way). We’re diving into something so many of us feel but rarely say out loud: why it feels so hard to want what we want… and even harder to actually let ourselves have it.If you’ve ever told yourself “it’s not justifiable,” “it’s not the right time,” or “I should spend that on something more practical”… this one is for you. Because what if the thing you’re denying yourself is actually the exact thing your life (and your family) needs?We’re talking all about desire, worthiness, and what it really looks like to stop abandoning yourself and start living your life fully.In this episode, we get into:- Why so many women don’t even let themselves *want* what they want- The sneaky guilt and “justification trap” that keeps you stuck- How retreats (or any investment in yourself) create real transformation before you even go- Why dreaming can feel scary—and what that actually means- The journaling exercise to uncover what’s really holding you back- How to give your desires equal airtime (instead of shutting them down)- Why filling your cup is NOT selfish—it’s the best thing you can do for your family- The truth about resilience, control, and letting things fall apart (a little)This is your permission slip to stop waiting, stop over-explaining, and start choosing yourself.If you’ve been craving more joy, more freedom, more YOU… this is where it starts.✨ Ready to take the leap?There are only TWO spots left for the Santorini Greece retreat—this is your sign.

Hey babe! This one is for every woman who's ever thought, “If I just hustle harder, I’ll finally feel successful.” 🙋‍♀️Today I'm joined by my dear friend Katy McFee—former biotech and tech executive turned leadership coach—who climbed all the way to VP and EVP... only to realize that grinding 10x harder than everyone else wasn’t the answer. In fact? It nearly burned her out.We're talking about what it *actually* takes to rise in your career (or in your life!) without sacrificing your health, your family, or yourself. Whether you're in corporate, running a business, or managing a household, you're going to see yourself in this conversation.Because here's the truth:*you can have it all....but you cannot do it all.We dive into:- Why “working harder” becomes a liability at higher levels of leadership  - How to identify your zone of genius (and stop obsessing over your weaknesses)  - The burnout recipe most women don’t even realize they’re following  - How to create visibility at work *and* at home without feeling awkward  - Why you're not a tree—and you're allowed to move  - The power of non-negotiables and boundaries (without apology)  - How motherhood actually boosts your efficiency and prioritization  - Why perfectionism is secretly draining you  - What “having it all” really means  Katy shares her own story of burning out, leaving corporate, doing deep inner work in her 40s, and building a life she genuinely loves. We also talk about comparison traps, negotiating maternity leave unapologetically, setting calendar boundaries, and how to align your life with what you actually want (and not just what looks good on paper).If you've ever looked around at your “perfect” life and felt miserable… this episode will feel like a permission slip.YOU get to decide what energizes you—and build from there.Go connect with Katy McFee:- Podcast: "More Women Promoted" — https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/more-women-promoted/id1799258767  - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/katy-mcfee-3880b4a  - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/katy.mcfee/  And babe, if you loved this episode, go leave a rating and review.

Okay babes… this is a very special Free The Moms episode.This one is actually a replay-style webinar training that I hosted, and I decided to bring it to the podcast because this conversation needs to happen out loud. We are talking all things peptides. Yes, GLP-1s. And also NAD+, glutathione, B12, BPC-157 and more. But the main focus of this training is GLP-1s—why so many of my clients are taking them, why some are microdosing, why some are on a full weight-loss dose… and why I personally am on a microdose.I’ll be honest with you. I was nervous to release this. There is still so much stigma around GLP-1s. And I don’t love that. So we’re de-stigmatizing it. We’re having the conversation. Because my job is to bring you information, empowerment, and options—without shame.Inside this episode, I walk you through:- What peptides actually are (and why they’re not some scary foreign thing)- The difference between microdosing a GLP-1 and using a full weight-loss dose- Why I chose to microdose—and how I think about it in the context of longevity and metabolic health- Semaglutide vs tirzepatide (single agonist vs dual agonist) and what that actually means- What my clients are experiencing on these medications- Side effects like nausea and how they’re managing it- Why medical oversight matters and how to think about doing this responsiblyWe also talk about other supportive peptides like NAD+ and glutathione, and why this conversation is bigger than “just weight loss.” For many of my clients, this is about metabolic healing, inflammation, energy, and feeling like themselves again.If you’re curious, skeptical, interested, or just want to understand what the heck everyone is talking about, this episode is for you. You get to decide what’s right for your body. Always.If you want to explore further, you can check out the peptides portal here:https://lmd.com/LauraConleyAnd if you attended the webinar live (or signed up), you’ll receive the replay, consult link, booking link, and all resources via email.I love you guys. I’m proud of you for being open-minded. And I’m committed to giving you the tools and information you need to make empowered choices for your health. Hosted on Acast.

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.

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.

We’re redefining freedom in a way that has nothing to do with bigger houses, better vacations, or external achievements—and everything to do with alignment, self-trust, and owning your time, energy, and emotions.In this episode, we slow way down and talk about how to reflect on 2025 without shame, how to stop repeating the same patterns in 2026, and how to choose ONE area of your life to truly free yourself.Here’s what we cover:What being a “free mom” actually means (and what it doesn’t)Why freedom is available to you right now—not after you lose weight or fix your lifeThe belief you must adopt before real change can happenWhy guilt is part of the process (and why that’s normal)How to audit 2025 without beating yourself upWhere you feel the most trapped: body, time, money, marriage, parenting, or careerHow to choose ONE area to focus on in 2026 (and why that’s the fastest path to change)Why your biggest problems should show up on your calendar and in your investmentsHow to stop abandoning yourself and start honoring your needsThe reflection questions that prevent you from repeating the same year again✨ FREE for podcast listeners ✨We’re hosting a FREE 5-day challenge:Drop 5 Pounds While Life Is LifingJanuary 5–9Sign up here:lauraconley.com/drop5If you already know you want deeper support, email me directly:laura@lauraconley.com2026 doesn’t need to be another year of white-knuckling, pretending, or putting yourself last.

She even considered GLP-1 medications, but wanted to try a natural, sustainable route first.Inside this candid, encouraging conversation, you’ll hear how she went from “There’s no way I could give up flour” to confidently navigating pizza nights, kids’ birthday parties, European bakeries, and family trips—while still losing weight. And yes… you’ll also hear about the moment her husband said it was the first real conversation they’d had in a long time.
