Lose Weight for the Last Time

Hey babes. This episode is a cozy, powerful solo chat about what it actually means to be a free mom—and how to start creating that freedom now, not someday.If you’ve been feeling stretched thin, stuck, overwhelmed, resentful, or like your life looks “fine” on the outside but feels tight and exhausting on the inside… this one is for you. We’re redefining freedom in a way that has nothing to do with bigger houses, better vacations, or external achievements—and everything to do with alignment, self-trust, and owning your time, energy, and emotions.In this episode, we slow way down and talk about how to reflect on 2025 without shame, how to stop repeating the same patterns in 2026, and how to choose ONE area of your life to truly free yourself.Here’s what we cover:What being a “free mom” actually means (and what it doesn’t)Why freedom is available to you right now—not after you lose weight or fix your lifeThe belief you must adopt before real change can happenWhy guilt is part of the process (and why that’s normal)How to audit 2025 without beating yourself upWhere you feel the most trapped: body, time, money, marriage, parenting, or careerHow to choose ONE area to focus on in 2026 (and why that’s the fastest path to change)Why your biggest problems should show up on your calendar and in your investmentsHow to stop abandoning yourself and start honoring your needsThe reflection questions that prevent you from repeating the same year again✨ FREE for podcast listeners ✨We’re hosting a FREE 5-day challenge:Drop 5 Pounds While Life Is LifingJanuary 5–9Sign up here:lauraconley.com/drop5If you already know you want deeper support, email me directly:laura@lauraconley.com2026 doesn’t need to be another year of white-knuckling, pretending, or putting yourself last. Pick one area. Create the dream. And start freeing yourself—one small step at a time.

Hey loves! If your marriage feels heavy, transactional, or nothing like what you imagined when you said “I do,” this conversation is going to feel like a deep exhale.We’re talking about how so many of us accidentally sign up for a version of marriage we never consciously agreed to — one built on assumptions, roles, resentment, and unspoken expectations. And the good news? You don’t have to burn it all down to feel free again. You can renegotiate the contract.We walk through three powerful tools that can completely change the emotional climate of your relationship: the 6-second kiss, the Power of One, and creating a brand-new marriage contract that actually fits who you are now, not who you were when you first got together.This isn’t about fixing your partner. It’s about reclaiming your agency, your desire, and your sense of choice — inside your relationship and inside yourself.In this episode, we cover:- Why so many marriages drift into resentment without anyone “doing anything wrong”- How the 6-second kiss rewires connection, safety, and intimacy (and why it works even when things feel awkward)- The Power of One: how changing your energy shifts the entire dynamic- What it really means to stop waiting for your partner to change- How to consciously rewrite your marriage contract — expectations, roles, intimacy, and emotional labor- Why freedom inside marriage comes from choice, not control- How this work directly impacts your nervous system, emotional eating patterns, and overall well-beingIf you’ve been feeling disconnected, stuck, or quietly wondering if this is “just how it is now,” let this be your permission slip to do marriage differently — without ultimatums, threats, or self-abandonment.And if this conversation lights something up in you and you’re ready to take this work deeper — with your relationship, your body, and your life — come hang out with me inside my programs. All the details are at lauraconley.com. You don’t have to keep living in a contract you never meant to sign.

Hey babes! This one is JUICY. Nicole and I are bringing you a full holiday intervention—Coco & Lala style. If you’re already feeling the pressure of “doing the holidays right,” this episode is your warm hug, your reality check, and your permission slip to STOP performing and start actually enjoying yourself. 💁‍♀️✨We dive into the three big holiday questions every woman needs to ask:1. What dreadful thing are you dropping this season?Because newsflash: no big disaster happened because I stopped sending holiday cards. You get to drop the stuff that drains you. You get to say no. You get to stop performing for invisible judges who don’t even care. ✔️2. What holiday dream are you adding?Maybe it’s two full weeks off. Maybe it’s catering your annual party. Maybe it’s reading on the couch for hours with the tree lit. Let the question simmer—your dream will find you.3. What manual (those sneaky expectations of other people!) are you burning?Your partner, your mother-in-law, your kids—they’re going to show up how they’ve always shown up. Radical acceptance isn’t giving up… it’s giving yourself freedom.Along the way, you’ll hear me negotiating with my hubby Brian about hiring someone to put up the Christmas tree (tradition wins… for now), Nicole’s surprisingly chill holiday philosophy, and how to avoid setting yourself up for years of self-inflicted expectations (Elf on the Shelf girlies… I’m talking to you).This episode is your guide to a calmer, cozier, saner season—one where you drop the dread, keep the joy, and build real community around what matters most.You’ll hear:Why holiday resentment is often just unspoken expectationsHow to “drop one dread” and prove nothing bad happensWhy controlling adults literally never works (ever)How to be surprised—in a GOOD way—by your partnerWhy community and accountability make everything feel lighterHow to prevent holiday chaos you’ll regret committing to for 10+ yearsWhy guilt is sometimes a sign you’re taking care of yourselfHow to embrace the truth: the shoe will drop someday… so enjoy your good season NOW🔥 Join Nicole’s December Fit at https://sweatandstillness.com🎀 Join my Pink Friday Sale: https://lauraconley.com/pinkUse code NICOLE500 to save $500 when you join Lose Weight For The Last Time.Let us know in the comments:What dread are you dropping?What dream are you adding?And who are you finally accepting for exactly who they’ve always been?

Want some pure chaos in the best way? You're in the right place. Nicole and I are back with another Coco & Lala Show takeover, and we're inviting you to get a little…unhinged. 😂 Underneath all the silliness is a really important conversation: so many of us are still living by the invisible “Good Girl playbook” — the rules about how we’re supposed to look, act, mother, eat, and show up. We’re following all the rules, checking all the boxes (degree, job, husband, kids, house)…and then wondering why we still feel numb, restless, and like something is missing. Hit play to hear:- Why laughing until you cry needs to be a real goal on your calendar  - How the “Good Girl playbook” gets passed down and keeps you small (and bored)  - Why perfection is boring, inauthentic, and totally not the vibe anymore  - How authenticity and a little harmless chaos can actually support your weight loss journey  - A simple challenge: choose one unhinged thing to do this week and *do it on purpose*  - Laura’s own unhinged act (hello, first tattoo at the Yummy Mummy retreat 👀)  - How envy can actually be a compass pointing you toward your truest desires   If you’ve been over-scrolling, overeating, over-drinking, or over-Netflixing because your life feels a little…beige, this conversation is your reminder that you’re allowed to color outside the lines. You do not have to earn your fun, your weirdness, or your joy.   And babe, if this hits and you’re like, “Okay, I’m ready to stop following the rules around food and my body too,” now is *the* time to jump into The Yummy Mummy Experience.  We are in the depths of the Pink Friday Yummy Mummy Sale — the best deal Laura has EVER offered on the Yummy Mummy Experience. 🎉 Go to https://lauraconley.com/pink to:- Get on the early access VIP list  - Lock in the biggest savings we’ve ever done  - Save your spot in the next Yummy Mummy cohort starting in January   Come get unhinged in the most delicious way: by losing weight for the last time, ditching the good girl rules, and actually letting yourself have a life you’re obsessed with.

She even considered GLP-1 medications, but wanted to try a natural, sustainable route first.Inside this candid, encouraging conversation, you’ll hear how she went from “There’s no way I could give up flour” to confidently navigating pizza nights, kids’ birthday parties, European bakeries, and family trips—while still losing weight.

She joined the Yummy Mummy Experience...and it finally felt EASY.She lost 25 pounds in under six months (while eating fries, potatoes, and rice!), slipped into size-small dresses, and stepped into a version of herself that felt energized, confident, calm, and deeply her.
