Going Back To The Beginning [REPLAY] | Ep. 46
Today's episode is my second episode that I released back in early January of 2025. And I share how my life started to really shift in an empowering way after I said yes to the call to adventure of trying something new. That something new was macro counting. And I had no idea that saying yes to macro counting was going to eventually lead me here. With you.I decided to replay my first 3 episodes because I was inspired by Taylor Swift doing the same thing. When she wasn't able to buy her songs at that time, she decided to re record all of her songs. And in doing so, she took a trip down memory lane. And a seed was planted. And that is how the Eras Tour was created.So I am taking a page from Taylor, and taking a trip down memory lane. I am seeing all the progress that I have made since then and I am also going back to the reason why I started this podcast. To create a space for women to feel empowered in their life. To get their power back and to finally step into their power. That was always theirs to being with.

Since we are wrapping of 2025, I’m replaying one of my early episodes I recorded back earlier this year. And it’s personally one of my favorites. It’s all the limited beliefs that I decided to leave behind in 2024, that were no longer serving me. And it’s a practice that I do daily, where I look at my progress so that I can keep going. Even when I’m not where I want to be yet.So if you struggle with letting go, or focus on where you aren’t at yet, then this episode will be for you!Feeling so grateful for the space that I get to share my voice and insights with you! And thank you for almost a full year of listening to Stop It! ❤️

Why You Didn't Ruin Your Progress Over Thanksgiving | Ep. 44
If you woke up after the holidays convinced you “ruined all your progress”… this episode is your gentle but firm reminder:You didn’t ruin anything.(And yes, I’m shouting that with love.)But here’s the real truth most women don’t realize:If you believe you ruined everything, you’ll start acting like you did.And what you focus on? Always grows.Inside today’s episode, I’m sharing a very real story from my own life — one that has nothing to do with macros, and everything to do with fear.Big Kev and I are thinking about getting the boys a puppy for Christmas (his name is already Marty, so clearly we’re invested lol). And even though it’s exciting, my brain has been trying SO hard to talk me out of it… thinking only about the hard parts, the ways I could mess it up, all the reasons it might not work.Sound familiar?Because fear shows up the exact same way when you’re trying to hit your body goals.You say you want the result…But then your brain whispers:“But I don’t have time…”“But I’ve tried everything…”“But the holidays are crazy…”“But what if I fail… again?”And before you know it, you're arguing for your limitations instead of your potential.In this episode, we’re unpacking:Why your fear response feels so loud this time of yearHow your brain convinces you to stay exactly where you are (even when you hate it)The ONE question I ask myself now that changed everythingAnd how to finally make choices from desire — not fear — so you can step into the version of you who actually gets the results you wantIf you’re tired of believing the same old stories… tired of starting over… tired of letting fear make your decisions…This episode is the sign you’ve been asking for.It’s time to stop arguing for your limitations — and start choosing the life and body you actually want.To join my Macros Made Workshop, click the link below!https://emily-erb.mykajabi.com/opt-in-macros-made-simple

You’ll learn what’s really holding you back, and how to start giving yourself permission to receive the support you so easily give to others.Because here’s the truth — success is never done alone.And if you’re ready to wave the white flag and stop trying to figure out your body goals by yourself, my Black Friday deal for Macros Made Simple is officially live. I get it — I used to be the queen of DIY too.

20- How Perfectionism is Costing Your Success
Welcome back to Stop It, I’m your host of stop it, Emily Erb. Alright, ladies, and perhaps some men who are listening too, listen, there is always a spot at the table for everyone, we are going deep—and I mean real deep—into something that ruled my life for way too long… perfectionism.I used to wear that crown proudly—I was the queen of getting it all done. My to-do list? ✅ Checked off. My responsibilities? Handled. And yet… at the end of the day, I still felt like I didn’t do enough. Sound familiar?Here’s the thing—perfectionism is sneaky. It doesn’t just show up in obvious ways like needing everything to be “just right” before you take action. It seeps into how we talk to ourselves, how we set (or don’t set) boundaries, and how we constantly move the goalpost, making it impossible to ever feel satisfied.So today, we’re exposing all the hidden ways perfectionism is keeping you stuck—and, more importantly, how to break free from it.

Welcome to today’s episode, I’m your host of Stop It, Emily Erb. Today’s episode I’m going to challenge something you’ve probably heard a million times—self-care. You’ve probably been told that you need to do self-care, but here’s the thing: what I’m about to tell you might surprise you. Instead of just focusing on the action of self-care, I want you to take a closer look at your beliefs around it. Because it’s not just about carving out time for a bubble bath or a face mask—it’s about understanding what’s really driving your relationship with self-care and whether those beliefs are helping or holding you back. So, let’s dive in and explore what’s underneath the surface of self-care and how shifting your mindset could truly change your life.
