Ever find yourself in front of the fridge or drive-thru without even knowing why? In this episode, I introduce my brand-new free guide: The Emotional Eating Trigger Decoder. I’ll walk you through exactly how to use it, why it works, and how it helped me shift from decades of emotional eating to becoming someone who eats with intention and ease. If food has ever felt like it’s in the driver’s seat of your life, this one’s for you. Grab your guide at amyenglishcc.com and follow along with this episode—you’ll learn how to identify your emotional triggers, practice the pause, and make empowered choices (without guilt, shame, or rigid rules).

We’ve been told confidence comes from the outside—how we look, how we’re perceived, how “put together” we seem. But what if it runs deeper than that? In this episode of Fat2Fierce®: The Confidence Chronicles, we’re redefining confidence from the inside out. I’m sharing two deeply personal stories that taught me what real, rooted confidence feels like—the kind that doesn’t need applause. The kind that’s quiet, steady, and unshakable. The kind that whispers, “I trust myself,” even when the mirror tells a different story. We’ll talk about the difference between surface-level confidence and the grounded kind, how to spot the line between confidence and arrogance, the link between confidence and empowerment, and a simple but powerful mantra to return to when self-doubt creeps in. If you’ve ever waited to feel “ready” before showing up as yourself, this episode will shift something. It’s time to stop chasing confidence—and start reclaiming it from within.

Feeling out of control with food? Like cravings are calling the shots and you're just along for the ride? You're not alone, and you’re not powerless. In this episode, I’m sharing five doable, encouraging steps you can take today to start shifting that dynamic. These are the exact tools I used to quiet food noise and reconnect with my body—no shame, no restriction, no “perfect” required. Whether you’re new to this work, looking for a reset, or currently taking weight loss medication like GLP-1, this episode will help you build the inner trust and awareness to quiet food noise from the inside out. Grab a pen, get comfy, and let’s take your power back—one bite-sized step at a time.

Ever find yourself cheering others on while quietly wondering why you're not making the same kind of progress? You're not alone. In this episode, we're diving into the comparison trap—especially when it comes to weight, body image, and healing. I share my own experience with weight gain, slow progress, and the very real frustration of feeling stuck while it seems like everyone else is racing ahead. You'll learn why someone else’s win doesn’t mean your failure, how to stop using success stories against yourself, what a “highlight reel” really is (and why you need your own), and a simple exercise to help you reconnect with your own wins. This one’s for anyone who’s ever felt like they’re falling behind. (Spoiler: You’re not. You’re just on your path.)

Tired of feeling like exercise is just punishment for what you ate or a chore to earn your next meal? You’re not alone. For years, I had a transactional relationship with movement—I worked out to burn calories, shrink my body, or try to be “good.” It left me frustrated, disconnected, and dreading workouts. In this episode, I’m sharing how I completely redefined my relationship with exercise—and why separating movement from weight loss changed everything. We’ll talk about breaking free from toxic fitness culture, rediscovering joy in movement, and creating a routine that actually feels good. If you’re craving a more empowering, sustainable approach to moving your body, this episode is for you. Let’s take your power back—one movement at a time.

Food used to consume my thoughts—cravings, guilt, planning, obsessing. You name it, I felt it. In this episode, I share how I quieted the food noise without medication and reclaimed my power around eating. I walk you through five game-changing tools that helped me get there, from practicing the pause to shifting my thoughts about food, my body, and satisfaction. And to be clear—this isn’t an anti-medication stance. It’s about knowing you have options. Whether you’re on a medication journey or not, this episode offers grounded, real-world tools to help you find more peace with food—and feel more connected to yourself.

One of the reasons I love coaching so much is because of the deep, transformational work we get to do—not just around what we’re eating, but why. In this episode, I’m sharing some stories about emotional eating and the “go-to” foods we often reach for when feeling stressed, sad, mad, or even excited. For me, it was buttercream icing. For one of my clients, it was peanut butter. We discovered those foods weren’t random—they were emotionally charged and tied to memories of comfort, love, and belonging. I’ll walk you through why this awareness matters, how it can help you reclaim your power around food, and why you don’t have to give up your comfort foods—you just get to enjoy them on your terms. Bring a pen and your favorite drink—we’re going there today.

In this vulnerable and powerful episode, I talk openly about my recent weight gain—and the wave of old stories it brought with it. Stories like “I’ve failed,” “There’s something wrong with me,” and “I need to fix this.” Even as an Emotional Eating Coach, I’m not immune to these thoughts—especially in perimenopause and after decades of dieting. But this time, I’m choosing a different path. No quick fixes. No shame spirals. Just curiosity, compassion, and support. If you’ve ever felt like your progress has stalled or that you’re somehow “back at square one,” this episode is a reminder that you’re not starting over—you’re going deeper.
