Lose Weight for the Last Time

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.

Hey, mama! Today’s episode is the one to listen to if you’ve ever wondered, “Is the Yummy Mummy Experience actually worth $5,000—especially if I only want to lose 5–10 pounds?” Because that’s exactly where Erica started… and then she lost 22 pounds, rewired her relationship with food, boosted her confidence, and transformed her entire life in the process.Erica opens up about what it felt like to slowly gain weight year after year, why it chipped away at her confidence, and how she realized she didn’t need more willpower—she needed tools. 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. And yes… you’ll also hear about the moment her husband said it was the first real conversation they’d had in a long time. The ripple effects are real.You’ll learn:Why “just” 1–2 lbs a year can snowball into not feeling like yourselfWhat finally pushed Erica to invest in herselfHow she approached sugar and flour flexibly (not rigidly!)The surprising ease of intermittent fasting once she experimented slowlyWhat it feels like to want the cupcake less instead of “white-knuckling no”How she navigated Europe, croissants, and hotel breakfasts—still losing weightThe ripple effect on her marriage, her dad, and her familyWhy she now feels calm, confident, and excited about goals outside of weightIf you’ve been debating whether this investment is “worth it,” or if the Yummy Mummy Experience can actually help you lose weight for the last time—Erica’s story is going to blow your mind!!🎀 PINK FRIDAY EXTENDED for Podcast Listeners ONLY!The January 2026 cohort is still open at the lowest price Laura has ever offered.Tap here to join or get on Laura’s calendar: https://lauraconley.com/work-with-meLet this be the year you finally lose weight for the last time.

I'm doing everything and nothing is changing," this conversation is going to feel like hope, relief, and a deep breath.Laura opens up about her lifelong weight struggle, the years of tracking every calorie, lifting, walking, "doing everything right," and still watching the scale climb. She shares the moment she hit rock bottom—crying in bed to her husband, feeling like a dark cloud was hanging over her whole beautiful life—and the guilt of wanting to feel better in her body while raising daughters in a body-positive world.And then? 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. Now, even pregnant with baby #3, she's navigating food, cravings, and weight with trust and steadiness because the tools are in her.Here are the top shifts you'll love in this episode:How cutting flour + sugar (not carbs!) turned off cravings and created instant calmWhy losing weight without tracking anything felt like total freedomThe mental tools she uses daily for motherhood, marriage, and life (not just food!)How journaling helps her stay intentional instead of living on autopilotWhat happened when pregnancy nausea knocked her off protocol—and why she didn't spiralThe simple question that helped her finally say yes to coachingResources + next steps mentioned in the episode:✨ Pink Friday Sale for the January YMX cohort✨ Join the Freedom Moms Membership (Morning Magic, workshops, community)✨ Get on the YMX waitlist!

You know how I always say that restriction doesn't work for weight loss? Well, it turns out it doesn't work for money either. Germaine and I jam on all the sneaky money traps we fall into as women and moms --- and how we can finally free ourselves from them. I sat down with my friend Germaine Foley, a total money queen who teaches women how to build wealth without restriction, deprivation, or overwhelm. You're going to be obsessed.Germaine used to have over $200K in debt, and now she's completely turned it around. She shares how she built wealth without giving up lattes, vacations, or joy (yes, please!). Her approach --- the Do Both Method --- is all about building wealth and enjoying life at the same time.Here's what we dive into:\The invisible bars that keep us stuck in money cagesWhy "just make more money" isn't actually the solutionHow crash diets and strict budgets are basically the same trapThe mindset shift to do both --- live now and build for laterHow to align your spending with what actually matters to youMy favorite takeaway: money needs attention, but not obsession (like a good partner!)Germaine's 3-account system that makes managing money simple and funHow to stop ignoring your finances --- and start feeling empowered by themWhy spending on yourself isn't selfish --- it's smart, powerful, and necessaryI seriously got so fired up during this convo because the parallels between money and weight loss are wild. Both are about intention, not punishment. Attention, not restriction. Freedom, not perfection.If you're ready to change your relationship with money (and honestly, your whole life), go check out Germaine's free private podcastOr if you're like, "I need this woman in my life," book a consult with her.And mama --- don't forget to join the brand new Free the Moms Membership!
