Okay, let’s talk about mid-January for a second.

This is usually the point where motivation dips, routines get messy, and that tiny voice pops up saying, “Well… I guess I already blew it.” That moment even has a name. It’s called Quitter’s Day, and it sneaks up on a lot of people every January.

If you’re feeling less excited, less consistent, or tempted to start over, you’re not broken. You’re normal.

In this episode, you get a calm, pressure-free breakdown of why Quitter’s Day happens, why it has nothing to do with willpower, and how to keep going without turning January into another false start.

You walk through the LIGHT framework, step by step, in a way that actually makes sense when real life gets busy. This isn’t about hype or pushing harder. It’s about learning how to use what already happened so progress doesn’t fall apart the second motivation fades.

This episode is for you if:

• January started strong and now feels shaky
• You’re worried you already ruined the year
• You feel stuck between quitting and starting over
• You want weight loss that lasts without pressure

You’ll hear about:

• What Quitter’s Day really is and why it shows up every year
• How to stop treating mid-January like a failure point
• How to use curiosity instead of self-criticism
• How to gather real data from your habits
• How to harness results so progress keeps moving
• How to tend your garden instead of tearing everything down

You need a way to keep going when motivation fades.

That’s exactly what this episode gives you.

And if you want to go deeper, the book LIGHT walks you through this process in a clear, step-by-step way. It’s basically your steady guide for the moments when things feel messy and you’re tempted to quit.

You didn’t ruin the year. You’re still learning. You can keep going.

Welcome to Part 2 of Behind the Pages of LIGHT, The New Psychology of Weight Loss. In the last episode, we took a step behind the curtain and revealed how the book explains why weight loss has felt so hard, even when you’re smart, capable, and doing your best. We looked at familiar ideas like people pleasing and fear of success, through the lens of weight loss and named the patterns that quietly drain energy, create self-doubt, and make follow-through feel heavier than it should.

Today, we’re going deeper.

This episode is about the heart behind the behind-the-scenes.

It’s about how this book actually came together, not just conceptually, but emotionally. The moments that surprised me while I was writing, the pieces that clicked into place and made the framework feel sturdy, human, and usable. The parts that turned this from a collection of ideas into something that could actually support you in real life.

The whole process of LIGHT is different because it leaves room for learning, for gentleness, for being human. And why it was designed to help you feel steadier, not smaller.

We’ll cover how LIGHT works as a laboratory instead of a performance, how emotional eating shifts when you decode it instead of fighting it, how body image changes when you stop staring blindly at the scale and begin to view it through a prism of the real outcomes you want from weight loss, as well as how identity fits into sustainable weight loss.

So, are you ready to go deeper behind the pages, into the heart of this work, and see how all of it connects in a way that clicks into place…almost like a light switch?? Let’s go!

It’s here! My book, LIGHT: The New Psychology of Weight Loss is ready and available now. I’m so excited for this book to be out in the world.

Writing a book is a lot like a pregnancy. It’s something that grows with you and through you but not totally of you. And by the end you’re like, “Let’s just get it out there already!”

Today’s episode is a little different, because instead of teaching you something brand new, I want to invite you behind the scenes. This is a sit-down, coffee-in-hand conversation about why this book exists and how it approaches weight loss differently.

We’ll cover how familiar ideas finally clicked when I looked at them through the lens of weight loss. Things like:

• The real reasons you can know what to do and not do it
• why your brain isn’t sabotaging you (it’s just being normal),
• how perfectionism and people pleasing can be turned around to be used in your favor
• as well as some personal favorites and behind the scenes stories from writing the book.

So, are you ready to step behind the curtain, hear the real story of how this book came together, and see why this approach finally feels different? Let’s go!
