  • In this episode, I break down one of the most talked about topics in weight release right now, food noise. But food noise isn't one big, mysterious monster. It's made up of five different voices. Once you learn to recognize them, you can choose the right tool for each one instead of white knuckling your way through the day.

    Whether you're dealing with nighttime snacking, sugar cravings after dinner, emotional eating during stressful moments, or the exhausting "I'll start over tomorrow" cycle, this episode will help you quiet the chatter. You'll reconnect with your inner coach and finally understand what your food noise is really trying to tell you.

  • What would it mean to declare your own independence from the weight struggle?

    In this inspiring Independence Day episode, I explore how the story of America's founding revolution mirrors the inner revolution it takes to break free from dieting, self blame, and the exhausting cycle of starting over. From naming what has been ruling you, to stepping into self leadership, to creating a vision that pulls you forward, this episode walks you through three powerful steps in your personal declaration of independence.

    We'll discover why the weight struggle can feel both painful and familiar at the same time. We'll talk about why declaring freedom is just the beginning, not the finish line, and why your inner coach is the leader you've been waiting for instead of another diet. I'll also guide you through a meditation to help you release the old struggle, reconnect with your inner coach, and take your first step toward weight mastery.

    Whether you're celebrating the Fourth of July or simply reflecting on what's been holding you back, this episode is for you. If you're ready to stop handing your power over to the scale, the food noise, and those Monday morning promises, you'll learn how to name your tyranny, claim your self leadership, and start living into the freedom that's already possible for you.

  • Why does free food have so much power over us?

    In this eye opening episode, I explore the hidden psychology behind free food and why something as simple as the words "it's free" can completely change the way we think, feel, and act around food. From office treats and Costco samples to holiday parties and hotel breakfast buffets, Rita reveals the surprising mental forces that can make free food feel impossible to resist.

    Together, we'll unpack the powerful influence of scarcity, social pressure, fear of missing out, and old beliefs about wasting food. I also share why free food often feels more valuable than it really is and how these unconscious patterns can quietly pull us away from the choices that best serve us.

    Whether you're navigating summer gatherings, workplace treats, family celebrations, or simply want more freedom around food, this episode will help you recognize the "free food spell," reconnect with your inner coach, and remember that the food may be free, but the choice is always yours.

  • Have you ever caught yourself thinking, " skinny people have it so easy" ?

    Maybe you're sitting there with your salad while someone else is happily working their way through a burger, fries, and dessert and somehow still looks amazing in their jeans.

    It can feel pretty unfair.

    And if we're honest, sometimes that feeling turns into resentment.

    This week on The Thin Thinking Podcast, we're talking about something most of us have felt but don't always like to admit… skinny people envy.

    You'll discover why resentment and comparison can strengthen a weight struggler mindset and keep you feeling powerless. You'll also hear why many naturally slim people aren't as carefree around food as they may appear and how getting curious instead of resentful can completely change your relationship with weight loss.

    The truth is, envy doesn't hurt the people you're comparing yourself to. It hurts you.

    When you stop measuring your journey against someone else's and start focusing on your own path you create more confidence, self-trust, and momentum.

    If you've ever felt frustrated by people who seem to have it easier, this episode will help you let go of comparison, reclaim your power, and move forward with a stronger Thin Thinking mindset.

  • What if your next chapter wasn't about slowing down or shrinking your world... but about expanding it?

    This week I'm sitting down with Andrew Motiwalla, founder of The Good Life Abroad, a company that creates month-long, community-based travel experiences across Europe for people over 55.

    And before you picture yourself rushing through a museum with a tour group, let me stop you right there.

    This is something entirely different.

    It's living abroad the way you always imagined you might someday. Your own apartment. A built-in community of like-minded travelers. A local support person who has your back. And the freedom to explore at your own pace.

    Andrew and I get into so much good stuff, including a concept I had never heard before called joyspan, which honestly stopped me in my tracks.

    Because the question this episode really asks is not "where do you want to travel?"

    It's "what kind of life do you want to be living?"

    We talk about:

    Why slow, immersive travel does something for you that a 10-day tour simply cannot

    How community changes the entire experience, especially for solo travelers

    The way living abroad can quietly shift your confidence, your habits, and even your sense of identity

    What joyspan is and why increasing it might matter more than you think

    Whether this becomes a real plan or just a beautiful idea you carry around for a while, I think you're going to love this conversation.

  • What if breaking your nighttime snacking habit wasn't about willpower, but about creating an evening you actually love?

    ​In this episode of The Thin Thinking Podcast,​ we go deeper into the night eating cycle and explore how to transform your evenings from a time of mindless snacking into a time of true rejuvenation, connection, and self care.

    Because here's the truth…

    Night eating isn't a willpower problem.

    It's a pattern your brain has wired in as a form of self care, even when it's working against you.

    When you learn to forgive yourself, understand what your nighttime patterns are really giving you, and remodel your evenings around what you truly need, lasting change becomes possible.

    If you're ready to stop white knuckling your way through the evening and start creating nights that leave you feeling light, proud, and in the driver's seat, this episode is for you.

  • Why does the kitchen suddenly start calling my name the moment the sun goes down? In this first episode of a special two-part series, I'm diving into the real reasons nighttime eating can feel so difficult to change — and why it has far less to do with willpower than most people think.

    I explore how decision fatigue, emotional exhaustion, reward-seeking, and deeply ingrained habit loops all work together to make nighttime eating feel automatic. When we understand how the brain is wired, we can stop blaming ourselves and start approaching these patterns with compassion and strategy instead.

    I also share a powerful reframe that has helped so many people in my community: your evenings are not a problem to fix — they're a project to redesign. One rooted in self-care, self-respect, and learning how to support yourself in a different way.

    Whether you find yourself snacking before dinner, grazing afterward, or standing in the pantry late at night wondering how you ended up there again, this episode will help you better understand what's really going on beneath the surface — and how to begin creating lasting change.

  • Why is it so much harder to stay on track around food when we're with other people?

    ​In this episode of The Thin Thinking Podcast,​ Rita Black dives into the psychology of social eating, why we tend to overeat and overdrink at parties and gatherings, and how preparation—not willpower—is the real key to staying grounded around food.

    Together, Rita and Wendy unpack the "retirement brochure fantasy," the inner critic that whispers "you should have this figured out," and the surprising parallels between retirement transitions and long-term weight mastery.

    Because here's the truth…

    Most people walk into social events hoping they'll "be good."

    But when you don't prepare your mind ahead of time, your brain defaults to old patterns—especially around friends, family, alcohol, desserts, and emotional triggers.

    That's why Rita believes that 90% of social eating success is preparation.

    In this episode, you'll learn how to mentally and emotionally prepare for parties, vacations, dinners, weddings, barbecues, and summer gatherings so you can enjoy yourself fully without abandoning your health goals.

    You don't need to sit in the corner eating lettuce while everyone else has fun.

    You can be social… and still feel light.

  • What happens after the retirement party ends?

    In this insightful episode, Rita Black sits down with retirement life coach Wendy Leggett to explore the emotional and psychological side of retirement that nobody talks about. From identity shifts and purpose to mindset, structure, and connection, Wendy shares how retirement is not just a financial transition — it's a deeply personal one.

    Together, Rita and Wendy unpack the "retirement brochure fantasy," the inner critic that whispers "you should have this figured out," and the surprising parallels between retirement transitions and long-term weight mastery.

    Whether you're approaching retirement, already retired, becoming an empty nester, or entering a new life chapter, this conversation will help you rethink what it means to truly thrive in your next phase of life.

  • If you've been hearing more and more about GLP-1 medications lately… you're not alone.

    Whether you're currently using one, considering it, or just quietly wondering if it might be part of your journey, this week's podcast episode is a conversation you don't want to miss.

    I'm sitting down with Lynn, who released 70 pounds using a GLP-1 alongside the Shift Weight Mastery process.

    And here's what makes her story so powerful…

    This isn't a "the drug did it all" story.

    It's a story about ownership.

    Yes, the medication helped.
    But the real transformation came from:

    Learning how to work with her mind

    Rewiring her relationship with food and her body

    Stepping into true inner leadership

    Because the deeper question isn't:
    "Should I take a GLP-1?"

    It's:
    "How do I create a way of living and thinking that allows me to stay at my ideal weight long-term?"

    What's especially inspiring is that Lynn is now maintaining her weight—even after coming off the medication.

    She shares honestly about:

    The fear

    The mindset shifts

    The identity changes

    And what it really takes to sustain results

    This is a grounded, honest, and hopeful conversation about what's possible when you combine tools with mindset.

  • As we start moving into the warmer months, I wanted to look at something that may come up for many people in our community as the summer approaches and demands that we peel off layers of clothes that not only have kept us warm during the winter--but also kept us conveniently hidden.

    Maybe you've caught yourself reaching for layers, avoiding certain clothes, or dreading the moment when your body feels more "visible."
    Not because anything is wrong with your body—but because of the relationship you've built with it.

    In this week's episode of The Thin Thinking Podcast, we're doing something different.

    Instead of waiting to love your body after it changes…
    We begin now.

    You'll be guided through a powerful practice of gratitude, visualization, and self-connection—helping you build a relationship with your body rooted in respect, not shame.

    Because your body isn't something to fix.
    It's something to partner with.

    And when that relationship changes… everything changes.

    So take a few moments for yourself—preferably in the morning, or anytime you can be still—and allow this session to support you.

  • What if just 3 decisions could completely change the course of your weight journey… for good?

    In this week's episode of The Thin Thinking Podcast, I'm sharing the three most powerful decisions that transformed not only my journey—but the same core decisions I've seen in people who achieve true, long-term weight mastery.

    These aren't surface-level tips.
    They're the deep, internal shifts that help you:

    Stop starting over

    Step into the driver's seat of your life

    And finally create lasting success from the inside out

    Because here's the truth…

    Your struggle with weight doesn't start with food.
    And it doesn't get solved in the gym.

    80% of it is mental.

    And when you change the way you think, lead yourself, and live your life… everything else begins to fall into place.

    Inside this episode, I walk you through the exact decisions that helped me break free from the cycle of "being good, falling off, and starting over again"—and how you can do the same.

    If you're ready to stop the cycle and start creating real, lasting change, come on in!

  • What happens when releasing weight doesn't just change your body… but starts opening up your whole life?

    In this week's podcast episode, I'm sitting down with Darlene, whose journey is nothing short of inspiring. She's released 40 pounds and has kept it off for over six months—and what's unfolding for her now goes far beyond the number on the scale.

    Here's what makes her story even more powerful…

    In her 60s, Darlene was preparing for a major hiking adventure in Chile with her partner—something she told me she never would have even imagined before beginning her weight mastery journey.

    We recorded this conversation just before her trip, as she was getting ready to take on the W Trek. And what stood out most wasn't just the physical transformation—it was the shift in how she sees herself.

    More energy.
    More confidence.
    More freedom.
    And a deep sense of trust in her ability to keep going.

    In this episode, we dive into what real transformation actually looks like beyond the scale. We talk about hypnosis, navigating maintenance, and how to build a life where you don't just hope you can stay consistent—you know you can.

    If you've ever wondered what's possible for you on the other side of your own journey… this conversation is for you.

    The exact shift that allowed her to lose 40 pounds while still living her life (including wine, travel, and real-world eating).

    How visualizing a feeling (not a number on the scale) helped rewire her identity—and led her all the way to hiking Patagonia in her 60s.

  • If you've ever believed that once you hit your goal weight, everything just clicks into place… you're not alone.

    We're often taught that weight loss works like this:
    First you lose the weight → then you arrive at your goal → and somehow, maintenance just happens.

    Like the clouds part, the angels sing, and suddenly you know exactly how to live there forever.

    But that's not how it works.

    The truth is—long-term weight maintenance doesn't begin after you reach your goal weight.
    It begins long before you ever get there.

    Because there's a powerful difference between:
    Losing weight
    and
    Building a life where you can actually live at your ideal weight—with peace, confidence, and consistency.

    One is about getting the weight off.
    The other is about becoming the person who can truly stay there.

    And if you don't start building that version of you now, maintenance will always feel fragile… temporary… and hard to hold onto.

    In this week's episode, I'm walking you through what really needs to start happening before you hit your goal weight—so you can create long-term, permanent weight mastery (not just another cycle).

    And at the end of the episode, I'll share three simple self-hypnosis techniques you can start using right away to begin working with your subconscious mind instead of fighting it.

  • In early February, I took a road trip to Sebastopol in Sonoma County, California — right in the heart of wine country… cheese country… bread country. Basically the Disneyland of delicious food.

    And before I left, I gave myself a little challenge.

    Could I fully enjoy the trip — eat at restaurants, explore the local food scene, indulge in everything Sonoma has to offer — and still stay around 1,500 calories a day?

    In this week's episode of The Thin Thinking Podcast, I'm taking you along for the ride.

    I'll share exactly how I navigated road trip snacks, restaurant menus, and all that gorgeous Sonoma temptation while still staying within a reasonable calorie range — without feeling deprived or missing out on the experience.

    So imagine yourself stowing away in the backseat, cruising through Sonoma with me, and learning the simple strategies that make it possible to enjoy food, travel, and still stay on track.

  • If you've ever eaten not because you were physically hungry, but because you were stressed, lonely, overwhelmed, or simply done with the day — this episode is for you.

    Emotional eating isn't really about food. It's about wiring.

    When your brain learns that food equals relief, it will keep sending you there automatically, even when part of you knows that's not what you actually need.

    In this week's episode, I'm breaking down why this pattern repeats and, more importantly, how to step out of it.

    We'll talk about identity, emotional mastery, and one simple daily tool you can use to interrupt stress eating before it even begins.

    Because this isn't about willpower. It's about learning how to lead your mind instead of being led by it.

    So grab your coziest blanket, settle in, and join me for this conversation.

    Why emotional eating isn't about food or willpower, but about brain wiring — and how the relief loop between stress, dopamine, and food keeps the cycle repeating. How your identity shapes your behavior — and why shifting from "emotional eater" to someone learning emotional mastery can change the way your brain responds to stress. A simple daily self-check-in practice you can use to calm your mind, regulate emotions, and prevent stress eating before it even starts.

  • Have you ever noticed how quickly your mood can shift… and then blamed yourself for it?

    Like you should just think more positively or try harder to control your mindset?

    In this week's episode of The Thin Thinking Podcast, I'm joined by Jenn Trepeck for a conversation that many of you will find incredibly freeing:

    👉 Your mood isn't just about mindset — it's about biochemistry.

    Neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin are literally built from the food you eat. They're influenced by your gut health and disrupted by stress, toxins, alcohol, caffeine, sugar, and even constant digital stimulation.

    Jenn, author of Uncomplicating Wellness, breaks down what "biohacking your mood" actually means — in a way that's practical, grounded, and refreshingly sane.

    If winter has left you feeling heavy, foggy, or emotionally off balance, this episode will give you real, science-backed levers you can start using right away.

    So put away those winter clouds… and come on in and listen!

    Jenn's FREE Guide:
    It's not What to Eat, It's How to Eat

    In This Episode, You'll Also Learn…

    How your mood is shaped by biochemistry — including how neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin depend on the nutrients you eat and the health of your gut.

    The everyday factors that can disrupt emotional balance, from processed foods and alcohol to stress, toxins, sleep issues, and constant digital stimulation.

    Practical, science-backed ways to support better mood and brain function through nutrition, gut health, movement, sunlight, and simple lifestyle shifts.
