• 5 reasons you're eating "fairly healthy" but can't lose weight

  In today’s episode, I’m diving into a topic that I know so many of you will relate to you’re eating healthy, doing all the “right” things… but the scale just won’t move.You’re having salads, smoothies, whole foods, avocado, nuts, avoiding sugar and takeout, yet nothing’s changing. You’re not alone, and today I’m unpacking why “eating healthy” doesn’t always mean eating for fat loss and the five biggest reasons why your hard work might not be paying off.Here’s what we cover:1. Your portions are off. Healthy foods like avocado, nuts, olive oil, and smoothies are nutrient-dense but also calorie-dense. I’ll explain how to find your “sweet spot”... eating enough to feel full and satisfied without overeating, even if it’s healthy food.2. Your weekends are unstructured. You might be on track during the week, but if Friday through Sunday becomes a free-for-all, it can undo your weekday efforts. I’ll show you how to enjoy your weekends without sabotaging progress.3. Your blood sugar is on a rollercoaster. If you start your day with coffee and a banana and skip meals, your blood sugar will spike and crash, leading to cravings, low energy, and overeating later in the day. You’ll learn how to build balanced meals that keep you full for hours and keep cravings at bay.4. You’re picking and grazing all day. A handful of nuts here, a bite of chocolate there, it all adds up! I’ll share how to break the grazing habit and bring structure back to your day so you can eat mindfully and feel satisfied after your meals.5. You’re simply inconsistent. This one’s tough love, but true. Many women are “on” during the week and “off” on the weekends. It’s not about being perfect; it’s about being consistent with a plan that’s simple, flexible, and realistic so it fits into your life.At the end of the episode, I share how you can start eating for fat loss without tracking calories, following low-carb diets, or restricting yourself. Because healthy eating and eating for fat loss are not the same, but when you combine them strategically, that’s where the magic happens.If you’ve been eating well but not seeing results, this episode will help you finally understand why and what to do next to see real, sustainable progress.✨ Remember: You’re not broken. You just need a new strategy.Links & Resources:Apply for coaching: HEREFollow Angela on Instagram: HERE

• How professional success (or any success) can lead to overeating

  In today’s episode, I’m diving into something you probably don’t hear about very often: how your professional success (or any kind of success) might actually be leading you to overeat.I know it sounds strange at first, but after working with hundreds of high-achieving women (and experiencing this myself), I’ve seen this pattern play out over and over again. Success brings pressure, long to-do lists, high expectations, and constant busyness. And when we’re always “on,” food often becomes the one outlet we allow ourselves… whether as a reward, a quick escape, or simply because we’re running on empty.Here’s what I cover in this episode:Why success-driven overeating is sneakier than you thinkHow skipping meals all day leads to overeating at nightThe real reason we use food as a “reward” (and how to break that cycle)Why relying on coffee and forgetting to eat disconnects you from your hunger cuesHow perfectionism keeps you stuck in the all-or-nothing cycleThis episode is an eye-opener, and I promise it will help you create awareness around your own patterns so you can finally change them. You are not “addicted to food” or “lacking willpower” — your brain is simply seeking relief, and together we’ll explore healthier ways to give it what it needs.If you’ve ever found yourself overeating after a long, stressful day or telling yourself “I deserve this” after a big win, this one is for you.Links & Resources:Apply for coaching: HEREFollow Angela on Instagram: HERE
