    Being YOU {and creating confidence beyond the scale}

    This week, I'm celebrating 100 episodes of the Quiet Your Inner Mean Girl podcast and I'm bringing it back to the thing that has driven every episode from day 1: being YOU, unapologetically you.In this milestone episode, I talk about how our inner mean girl chips away, little by little, at who we really are and who we were always meant to be. How we get caught up in comparison and create stories that others are doing it right, that they have it all figured out and that we should be more like them.But true confidence, true happiness, true freedom can never come from trying to be like someone else. I share how this often shows up in my life, exactly how I identify it, how I bring myself back to being me and what happens when I do - and I'll help you do the same.In honor of 100 episodes, thank YOU for being here, for listening every week and for being YOU.If you would like to take this work deeper, I want to invite you to come work with me. 1:1 coaching spots are currently available.

    Confidence: the fuel not the result

    Have you ever waited until you felt ready or confident before you started?That may be the very thing that's keeping you stuck.In this episode, I'm diving into why confidence is the fuel to our journey, not the end result and how it's something we build not achieve. I'm also highlighting three key things that will help you to feel confident right now and build confidence in a way that you maybe you never have before. Confidence in who you are, what you do, the decisions you make and the life you are living. Confidence beyond the scale, for you and for every woman and little girl in your life.Want to take this work deeper?

    3 steps to feeling healthy and confident {life lessons from second graders}

    Do you get stressed and overwhelmed about feeling healthy and confident in your own skin? Let's bring it back to the basics. This week, I’m bringing you a special episode. We are going inside my daughter’s second-grade classroom, where I was invited to speak for Career Week about my work as a coach and podcast host.  These second graders offer us a simple, honest, and inspiring perspective of what it means to be healthy, confident and kind to ourselves. What I love the most is how clearly kids understand the basics: believe in yourself, don’t give up when things feel hard, lean on support, and recognize that making one bad decision is just an opportunity to make the next decision better. It’s the perfect reminder that we already know what to do and the real challenge is keeping it simple as life gets busy and the negative self-talk of our inner mean girl gets louder. This episode brings things back to the foundation, showing that confidence and healthy habits may not always feel easy, but they don’t have to be so hard.Ready to confidently keep the weight off?

    The difference between losing weight and losing weight and keeping it off {and how to make the shift}

    There's losing weight and there's losing weight and confidently keeping it off. The difference lies in how we approach our journey from the very beginning.In this episode, I'm diving into why focusing only on weight loss leads to temporary behaviors and temporary results. And how you can make the shift from losing weight to losing weight and confidently keeping it off. It's simpler than you think. It doesn't require massive steps or a complete overhaul of your habits or your life. Instead, it requires a higher quality approach. With higher quality decisions and higher quality steps. By the end of this episode, you'll understand why losing weight and keeping it off has felt so hard, why a lose it fast mindset is actually the longer way and how to shift to a higher quality approach that leads to long lasting results and confidence.If you’re ready to stop starting over and become the woman who not only loses weight—but confidently keeps it off—this episode will show you what’s been missing and how to move forward in a way that finally feels good.Read to lose weight for good?

    Failure Gold

    Today we are diving into failure - why we fear it, how it keeps us from reaching our goals AND a simple shift that changes everything...finding the gold in it.I have coached over 100 women, most tell me that they've tried everything and nothing works. Most are hesitant to try again out of fear that it will just be one more thing that doesn't work. And yet, it's that fear of failure that keeps them stuck, that leaves them feeling uncomfortable in their own skin, believing they can't do it. When we quiet their inner mean girl and follow desire over fear, that's when they build confidence, when they create habits that last and lose weight for good.In this episode, I share my own story of failure in the hopes to normalize it and inspire you. Because what I have learned from every journey I have ever been on is that failure is not just a part of the process - it's THE way. And there is is a version of you who doesn't fear it, who is willing to feel it and who is willing to choose desire over fear every time.If this message resonates and you want to take this work deeper, I want to invite you to work with me 1:1 inside the Quiet Your Inner Mean Girl method.

    The small step strategy to build consistency, confidence and lose weight for good

    Do you feel overwhelmed by the mere thought of losing weight?When most people think about creating consistency, healthier habits and losing weight they think about all the things they have to do - the big steps they have to take and the grand changes they have to make. It's what makes it feel so hard - so far out of reach. It's why we get overwhelmed and give up too soon. When we think only of the results we want to create and all the things we need to do to create them, it invites the negative self talk of our inner mean girl to convince us it's "too hard," we "don't have the time or the energy," or we "just can't do it."In this week's episode, I break it all down. I bring you back to what's most important, what's most valuable, and what not only creates the change you want but creates it in a way that lasts: small, simple, doable steps that you can take today.Inspired by a recent hike in Sedona, I invite you to explore the small step strategy. To build confidence and trust in yourself by taking the small steps available to you today. The small steps that build motivation and momentum. The small steps that create the results you want AND show you that you are capable of even more.Ready to lose weight and confidently keep it off (while living the life you love)?

    Me, my why and a new approach to weight loss

    Ninety episodes in, and I realized I’ve never truly introduced myself. In this special episode, I’m sharing more of my story — the comment that shaped 20 years of body struggle, the all-or-nothing dieting, the shame, the silent battle, and the moment I finally decided I was done hating my body.But this isn’t just about me. It’s about every woman who has ever felt alone, every woman who continues to struggle, every woman who feels defeated because she thinks "I've tried everything - nothing works." I share the challenges, the tough times, what changed everything — and why weight loss isn’t about more information, stricter plans, or trying harder. It’s about learning to navigate your inner mean girl, having the courage to do things differently, building confidence from the inside out - and living your life.If you’ve ever felt like you’re the only one struggling, this episode will remind you that you’re not — and that lasting change is possible for you too.Ready for a new approach to weight loss?

    {Minisode} The energy of what you really want

     How can you remove obstacles that keep you from creating what you really want?  In this brand new minisode series where I bring you short doses of inspiration,  I address the doubt and fear that creep in the moment we have the courage to declare “I want this”. And I discuss how to tap into the energy, the motivation and the aliveness you feel when you first thought about what you really want.  That energy you feel when you think about what you really want is the WHOLE point.Coach with me 1:1 inside the Quiet Your Inner Mean Girl method.

    What you REALLY want

    Maybe the problem with weight loss isn't IF you can lose the weight, but HOW you've been trying to lose it.In this episode, I dive into how most of us focus only on the results we want to create - weight loss, consistency, confidence - and often we miss the most important part...the experience in which we want to create them.It's why so many women feel stuck. Why they lose weight only to gain it back. Why they believe they have tried everything and nothing works.It has nothing to do with your ability to lose weight and everything to do with how you think you need to lose it.This is where you gain clarity. Where you flip the script on all the diets and restrictions you've turned to in the past. This is where you lose weight on your terms and this time, you know with confidence, that it is weight that is lost for good.If you are ready to lose weight on your terms - let's talk.

    Unlearning the body you were taught to want

    Many of us have been surrounded for the majority of our lives by images and messages that define what an “ideal” body should look like—and over time, those messages shape how we see and talk to ourselves. They impact our confidence and influence how we approach weight loss and habits.In this episode, I break down how these learned ideals make losing weight and creating healthier habits harder than it needs to be. How they lead to frustration and all-or-nothing thinking and how this mindset keeps so many women stuck even when they are doing “all the right things.” I talk about why lasting change doesn’t come from fixing or forcing your body to look a certain way, but from listening to it, respecting it, and working with it.Unlearning these expectations doesn’t mean giving up on weight loss or healthier habits—instead, it creates more ease, consistency, and confidence. When you shift your focus from comparison and approval to understanding what works for you, habits begin to feel simpler, weight loss becomes more sustainable, and confidence grows naturally.If you’ve ever felt frustrated, disconnected from your body, or tired of starting over, this episode will help you rethink the way you approach change—and open the door to creating results that feel good and last.Ready to lose weight and confidently keep it off?

    Uncovering your inner mean girl

    Do you ever feel like you are working so hard and just not seeing the results that you want?In this episode, I help you to uncover the limitations, the beliefs and the stories of your inner mean girl that you may not even realize are there.Limitations, beliefs and stories that are holding you back, keeping you stuck, causing you to work so hard while preventing you from creating the habits you want to create and losing the weight that you want to lose.This episode is unlike any episode I've ever recorded, but I think it's the MOST important episode for you to hear. This episode could open you up, it could make it all so clear. It could change everything for you.

    Staying consistent when you don't feel motivated

    You don't have to feel motivated in order to create healthier habits and lose weight. In fact, you won't feel motivated all of the time. But if motivation - or the lack of motivation keeps making you give up - it's time for this much needed reset. In this episode, I walk you through THREE things that helped me IN the lack of motivation I was feeling and helped me to move THROUGH it to a place where I feel so much better - a place where I feel energized, productive, in control and confident. These three things will create or sustain consistency in your life even when you don’t feel motivated.  It allows you to take needed breaks without guilt. It allows consistency to look different than it may normally look for you. And most importantly, instead of feeling like you have to start all over again or giving up because you think you've ruined all of your progress, you quiet your inner mean girl and you keep going.Ready to lose weight for good?

    Who you are being vs. what you are doing {weight loss edition}

    If you have ever created habits that seemed to slip away faster than you created them or if you've ever lost weight that you gained back before you knew it - this episode is for you.I walk you through an essential part of the equation for creating habits that last and losing weight for good: who you are being.Most people go directly to what they need to do and how they need to do it, but the what and how don't change you. They may create short term results for sure, but they don't create change that lasts. They don't build trust or confidence. They are quick to fall away.In this episode, I talk about why doing all the right things, staying on track and "being good" isn't enough and how, when you shift your focus from checking the boxes and going through the motions to choosing to be the woman who knows, with certainty, she can and will do it you create habits that feel easy to maintain and you lose weight you know is lost for good.There is a version of you who believes in herself, who trusts herself - who creates the habits that last and loses weight for good.

If you have ever lost weight only to gain it back, created habits only to fall back into old ones, given up on your goals or jumped to a different plan only to find yourself in the same situation again and again and again, this episode is for you.In this episode, I talk about Results Entitlement—The expectations we have for how and when things “should” work. The fictional timelines we place on our journey. The negative self talk of our inner mean girl that tells us it should have happened by now, we should be further along or that nothing is working. You'll learn how entitlement fuels frustration, empowers your inner mean girl, and keeps you stuck in a cycle of quitting - and how you can turn that all around.Ready to create habits that last and lose weight for good?

That energy is an important part of creating habits that last and losing weight for good. It’s available to you every day. It’s so simple. And yet it’s something that we so commonly overlook.In this episode, I talk about the importance of dressing for the day you want to have - for how you want to feel. I talk about how dressing for the day you want to have is an act of self-care (potentially the first act of self-care in your day), how it reminds you that you matter, that how you feel and what you want matters and how it creates an empowered energy that ripples throughout your day.It’s not as much about what you wear as it is about why you are wearing it and how it makes you feel.Tune in to this episode to discover how this simple concept can help you to show up as the best version of yourself - the version of you who creates habits that lasts and loses weight for good.Ready to create habits that last and lose weight for good?

    Belief is at the heart of every goal you set. It's what makes you say, “I want that for my life", "I think I can do it” and “I’m ready." It’s the magic of belief that sparks the motivation that gets you started.In the beginning, it' easy to believe. The problem becomes when the "newness" wears off, motivation starts to fade and challenges come up. That's when our belief starts to waver. It's when our inner mean girl gets louder and giving up feels easier.In this episode, you'll learn how to quiet your inner mean girl when doubt creeps in, stay grounded in the belief that you can create new habits and lose the weight you want to lose - and keep yourself moving forward.If you are ready to make 2026 the year you create habits that last and lose weight for good, schedule a free consultation to get started: ⁠https://calendly.com/wellnesswithabbeyh/freeconsultation

    Your weight loss identity

    Do you ever feel like no matter how hard you try you can't seem to lose weight (and keep it off)? When it comes to losing weight for good and creating habits that last, the biggest obstacle is often the stories we tell ourselves about what it takes and what we are capable of achieving. These stories evolve into an identity we carry that makes our journey so much harder than it needs to be or causes us to give up before we ever have the chance to reach our goals. This identity is engrained in habits and patterns that make it feel permanent - and every time we fall back to old ways it reinforces the identity we believe to be true.If you have ever lost weight only to gain it back or been so confused or frustrated that you can never maintain the habits that you create - this is why. Your core beliefs, your weight loss identity - the stories you believe to be true win out every time. In this episode, I share some common weight loss identities, where they come from and how shifting your perspective to see this identity as a choice can change everything. By understanding your current weight loss identity and where it came from and learning to show up differently, you can build a version of yourself who creates habits that last, loses weight for good and feels confident in her own skin.If you are ready to lose weight for good, I want to invite you to join me inside my private coaching program, the Quiet Your Inner Mean Girl method.

    Putting yourself on the list

    Have you ever felt like the habits, the weight loss and the life you want is pulling you in one direction but the reality of your life is pulling you away from it all? In this episode, I talk about putting yourself on the list - an absolute requirement in order to create the change that you want to create - but I talk about it from a realistic perspective. A perspective that acknowledges that your life is busy, that you don't have a lot of time, that everyone needs you for all of the things.But the thing I know to be true is that there is a place for you on the list. And I want to help you find it.Because the only way to create the habits you want to create and to lose the weight you want to lose is to find yourself on the list. And the way to create habits that LAST and to lose weight for GOOD is to do it in a way that works WITH your life - no matter how busy or demanding it is. But I also know that the only way you will put yourself on the list is if it feels possible. It's gotta be simple. It's gotta be doable - so that's what I'm serving up in this episode.If you feel like you never have the time. If you are too busy or there is too much to do. This is the episode for you.If you are ready to transform your habits, your weight and your life, I want to invite you to work with me 1:1 inside the Quiet Your Inner Mean Girl method.

    Getting started

    When you feel the pull of desire - to create healthier habits, to lose weight, to go after your goals - do you give yourself the opportunity to go for it or do you hold yourself back?For the next five weeks, I'm bringing you specially curated episodes that have the ability to change your habits, your weight, your confidence and ultimately your life BEFORE the New Year. Most people will wait. They'll wait until January. They'll wait until life slows down. They'll wait until they feel ready or motivated. Today, and for the next five weeks I want to invite you to not be most people. Give yourself the opportunity to get started, to change your habits, to lose weight, to feel more confident in your own skin.This week, I'm talking about doing just that - getting started.In this episode, I breakdown why most people don't start - the things that really hold us back (hint: it's not time, energy or motivation) and the simple shift you can make to move yourself forward. That first step is the hardest part. It's why most people don't take it. It's why most people feel stuck. This is where you decide you're not most people.This episode is everything you need to take that first step - and every step there after - so you can create habits that last and lose weight for good.Ready to take that first step?

    Weight Loss - just one piece of the pie

    What if you were surrounded by evidence that it's working - that you can lose weight and confidently keep it off? In this episode, I'm diving into the concept that weight loss is just one piece of the bigger pie of your health, your habits, your confidence, and your life. For so many of us women, the scale becomes the entire story — the thing that determines whether we’re “doing it right” or “failing.” But when we only measure progress by a number, we miss all of the other signs that is is working.I share how all-or-nothing thinking keeps us stuck, how the scale can shatter motivation when we take it personally, and why focusing only on weight loss causes us to overlook the energy we’re gaining, the strength we’re building, the consistency we’re creating, and the changes we’re making that lead to sustainable results.If you’ve ever felt like “it’s not working” or dismissed your own progress because the scale didn’t move, this episode will help you zoom out, see the bigger picture, and start celebrating the meaningful wins happening every single day.Ready to lose weight and confidently keep it off?

    Weight Loss over 40 {getting stronger and feeling more confident with age}

    We've all heard the phrase "age is only a number" and yet so many of us allow age to become an obstacle - just another thing that holds us back and keeps us from losing the weight we want to lose and creating the habits we want to create - habits that carry us into the life we want to be living in 15, 25, 40 years.In this episode, I talk about what it really means to lose weight, get stronger and feel more confident as we age - and how we can make it our reality. Because, I for one, refuse to let age be a reason why I can't do something or why I don't feel good in my body.I explore letting go of the restrictions we place on ourselves as we age - and three key ideas that continue to shape how I approach aging:-Focusing on what you want as you age and building habits today that support the future version of you.-Practicing a "having mentality" - appreciating the body and the life you have right now, using them to your advantage instead of waiting for things to change before you can change.-Leading with curiosity above all else and seeing what you are truly capable of.If you are ready to lose weight and feel healthier and more confident with age - let's talk.

    {BONUS} The energy of coming from behind

    In this BONUS episode I invite you to re-think how you respond to feeling "behind."I recently watched my son and his hockey team fight to come back in a game they were trailing 2-5. When they celebrated his teammate scoring a goal, bringing them to 3-5, I was shocked to hear a man cheering for the other team tell my son's team to stop celebrating. When I questioned his comment he said they "shouldn't celebrate when they are behind." I couldn't disagree more. I think this is the most important time to celebrate. It's where we find energy to keep going. It's where we create motivation and momentum and more importantly, it's where we build belief in ourselves and what is possible - on the ice and in weight loss.Listen to this special bonus message - and then go out and take that next step.Ready to lose weight and confidently keep it off?

If you feel like you are giving and giving and giving and constantly falling to the bottom of the list and you never have time for yourself - this episode is for you.I unpack why so many of us moms struggle with mom guilt and how feeling guilty (or avoiding the guilt!) is keeping us stuck in patterns and habits that don't serve us and keeps us from losing weight for good. But that stops here.I share one simple motto that I live by as a mom and how it can change everything for you too. This is your permission to move through the guilt. To feel taken care of. To create the habits you want to create and lose the weight you want to lose - for good.If you are ready to say no to the guilt and YES to your healthiest, most confident self, I want to invite you to work with me.

    Disappointment

    Are you feeling the weight of disappointment? In this episode, I explore how disappointment can easily turn into an all or nothing mindset and why it's one of the biggest obstacles we face in creating habits that last and losing weight for good. When we see disappointment as a failure, we spend time and energy spiraling in confusion, doubt and overwhelm. We indulge in the negative self talk of our inner mean girl that convinces us "I don't know" and "I don't get it." But when we think disappointment is out of our control, change also becomes out of our control. I break down how we can take responsibility for the disappointment we feel and how when we do it can change everything. Tune in to discover how you can navigate feelings of disappointment in your journey, take responsibility and feel empowered to create habits that last, lose weight and confidently keep it off.

    The power of commitment

    It's not the perfect plan or having just the right amount of time that helps you to achieve your goals - it's commitment. Commitment to showing up even when you don't feel like it, to face challenging days and not let them stop you, to knowing that you're choosing what's important over what's easy.This week, I'm diving deep into the true meaning of commitment—not from a place of perfectionism or all-or-nothing thinking, but from showing up consistently for what matters most to you. I share a personal story of how a simple commitment to taking time for myself every day turned into a life-changing journey of self-care, strength, and resilience. We’ll talk about how to shift your mindset around commitment, let go of unrealistic expectations, and build a life that feels aligned, empowered, and sustainable. If you’ve ever felt like you’re falling short or struggling to stay consistent, this episode is for you.I want to invite you to commit to yourself and your goals for the next six months.

When everyone else is waiting, you could be creating motivation and momentum and when everyone starts in January, you could be three months ahead.It's about gaining clarity, finding the desire, exploring possibility and giving yourself the opportunity to prove to yourself what you are capable of.Join me in the Quiet Your Inner Mean Girl method.
