If you've spent years believing that successful weight loss in menopause comes from finding the perfect diet, this conversation may change the way you think about food forever.

In this guest appearance on the Are You Awesome Today? podcast with Stephen Schener, I share why I believe lasting weight loss begins with understanding your brain and reconnecting with your body's natural hunger and fullness signals. I've seen how diet mentality keeps so many smart, successful women stuck in the cycle of losing and regaining weight.

We talk about why menopause often becomes the wake-up call that finally gets us to pay attention to our bodies, how emotional eating and food rules disconnect us from what we truly need, and why learning to ask, "Am I hungry?" is one of the most powerful skills you can develop. Enjoy the show!
