Mindset and Macros: The Go-To Podcast for Busy Moms Ready to Take Control of Their Food and Mindset
You know what you should be eating… but who has time to prep between work and practices? One dinner out can spiral into a weekend of overeating. Stress hits? You’re in the pantry before you know it. And how many times have you said, “I’ll start Monday,” only to push it off again?
If that sounds familiar, you’re in the right place, friend—especially if you're ready to simplify your nutrition and mindset so you can lose fat, feel confident in your body, and finally break free from the diet cycle… without sacrificing your life, your time, or your favorite foods.
This is the podcast for busy moms who want to feel amazing in their favorite jeans, enjoy meals out without stress or guilt, and stop starting over every Monday. Inside each episode, you’ll learn how to simplify meal prep, shift your mindset around food, and create a sustainable lifestyle that actually works with your real life.
Hi, I’m Jennifer—a wife, mom of three active boys, and certified women’s nutrition and mindset coach. I spent years stuck in the same exhausting cycle: dieting during the week, binging on weekends, cutting out all my favorite foods, and feeling like a failure when I couldn’t stick to it.
I tried all the quick fixes: low calorie diets, skipping meals, avoiding “bad” foods… but all it did was leave me overwhelmed, hungry, and constantly thinking about food. With a full plate at work and home, I didn’t need another complicated plan. I needed something simple. That’s when I found a different way—one rooted in flexibility, not restriction. I learned how to use macros as a sustainable tool to fuel my body and shift my mindset around food. No more labeling food “good” or “bad.” No more guilt. No more obsessing or starting over. Now, I help other women do the same.
On this podcast, I’ll teach you how to:
- Use macros as a flexible tool for fat loss
- Prep food in a way that fits into your crazy-busy schedule
- Eat out and enjoy treats without sabotaging progress
- Ditch the “start Monday” mindset—for good
- Rebuild confidence and feel strong, energized, and in control
Because you don’t need another diet. You need real-life strategies that meet you where you are. Approaches that are simple, sustainable, and rooted in grace, not guilt.
If you’ve been wanting to:
- Feel confident in your body again
- Get off the diet rollercoaster
- Have more energy and less stress
- Enjoy food and make progress toward your goals
…this podcast was made for you.
It’s time to stop putting yourself last. Let’s make health and confidence part of your everyday life—without extremes.
So, hit pause on the chaos, grab your coffee, and let’s get started. I’m so glad you’re here.

8 | Emotional Eating Isn’t the Problem—Avoiding Your Feelings Is: What Are You Really Hungry For?
Have you ever found yourself standing in the pantry, reaching for the cookies—not because you’re hungry, but because you’re overwhelmed, tired, or just need a break from it all? You’re not alone. So many of us turn to food when emotions run high, and while it might feel like the food is the problem… it’s not. Emotional eating isn’t the real issue—avoiding your feelings is.
In today’s episode, I’m sharing the truth about emotional eating—what it really is, where it comes from, and how to begin breaking free from the guilt-shame cycle so you can feel empowered around food again. I even open up about my own struggles with emotional eating (yes, I have a thing with gummy bears!) and how I’ve learned to make peace with food, my body, and my emotions through mindset work, small shifts, and a whole lot of grace.
If you’ve ever thought, “Why do I keep eating when I am stressed?” or “I do great during the day, then crash at night with snacks”—this episode is for you. We’re diving into how to spot emotional vs. physical hunger, the common triggers you might not realize are driving your cravings, and practical tools you can use to pause, reflect, and respond in a way that supports your goals.
Lean in as I walk you through the exact questions I teach my clients to ask themselves in those “I need something now” moments—and how to create your own feel-better list so food doesn’t have to be your only comfort tool.
Friend, this isn’t about cutting out all the treats or getting it perfect. It’s about progress. Awareness. And giving yourself permission to choose differently—with love and without shame. You are not broken. You’re doing your best. And that’s more than enough.
If you’re ready to take back control, ditch the guilt, and approach emotional eating with clarity and compassion, this one’s for you. I pray it encourages you right where you are.
