But if you want more mom-life content, make sure you’re subscribed to the Free The Moms podcast too!Okay…now let’s get into it.Today we’re tackling something that secretly keeps so many women stuck: the belief that you just can’t trust yourself. Like…what if you’re just someone who doesn’t follow through? What if that’s just “who you are”?Yeah. We’re not letting that fly anymore.In this episode, I’m breaking down exactly why that thought is NOT a fact (even if it feels like one), and how it’s actually creating the very results you don’t want. We’re diving into identity, habits, and the real reason willpower hasn’t worked for you—and spoiler alert: it’s not because you’re broken.If you’ve ever said, “I’m just bad at sticking with things” or “I can’t keep promises to myself,” this is going to shift everything for you.Here’s what we’re getting into:- Why “I can’t trust myself” is just a thought—not your identity  - How your beliefs are literally creating your results (yes, even your weight)  - The simple identity shift that changes everything  - Why your brain keeps pulling you back into old habits (and how to stop it)  - How to start collecting real evidence that you DO follow through  And babe…this is bigger than weight loss.

Hey babe, this episode is going to hit you right in the heart (in the best way). We’re diving into something so many of us feel but rarely say out loud: why it feels so hard to want what we want… and even harder to actually let ourselves have it.If you’ve ever told yourself “it’s not justifiable,” “it’s not the right time,” or “I should spend that on something more practical”… this one is for you. Because what if the thing you’re denying yourself is actually the exact thing your life (and your family) needs?We’re talking all about desire, worthiness, and what it really looks like to stop abandoning yourself and start living your life fully.In this episode, we get into:- Why so many women don’t even let themselves *want* what they want- The sneaky guilt and “justification trap” that keeps you stuck- How retreats (or any investment in yourself) create real transformation before you even go- Why dreaming can feel scary—and what that actually means- The journaling exercise to uncover what’s really holding you back- How to give your desires equal airtime (instead of shutting them down)- Why filling your cup is NOT selfish—it’s the best thing you can do for your family- The truth about resilience, control, and letting things fall apart (a little)This is your permission slip to stop waiting, stop over-explaining, and start choosing yourself.If you’ve been craving more joy, more freedom, more YOU… this is where it starts.✨ Ready to take the leap?There are only TWO spots left for the Santorini Greece retreat—this is your sign.

Hey babe! Today we're diving into a question that comes up constantly on a weight loss journey, and honestly, in life too:When should you push... and when should you pause?You wake up tired. Your workout is on the calendar. Your brain starts negotiating."Maybe I should rest.""Maybe I should push through."And suddenly you're stuck trying to figure out whether you're honoring your body...or just giving in to the quit voice.In this episode, Nicole and I break down how to tell the difference.Because sometimes your body truly does need rest. And sometimes your brain is just trying to talk you out of doing something hard. Learning how to tell those apart is a skill, and it's one that will completely change your relationship with discipline, motivation, and weight loss.We talk about body attunement, how to listen to your body without letting excuses run the show, and why collecting data on yourself over time helps you make better decisions.Remember: you're not supposed to get this perfectly right every single time. The goal is awareness and learning how to trust yourself again.In this episode we cover:-  How to tell the difference between pushing yourself and overriding your body-  The mindset shift that helps you stop quitting early-  What "body attunement" actually looks like in real life-  Why accountability partners make it easier to quiet the quit voice-  The 10-minute rule that helps you make better decisions in the moment-  How reflecting on your choices builds long-term self-trustWe also talk about finding the middle path, that place between pushing yourself too hard and letting excuses run the show.If this conversation sparked something for you, I've got something exciting coming up.We're hosting another Peptides Webinar on March 17th and March 27th, where we'll talk about how peptides may support your weight loss journey. This webinar will also include other moms sharing their experiences and answering questions live.If you're curious and want to learn more, join us here:👉 http://lauraconley.com/pepI love you so much, and I hope you have the absolute best week ever. 💖

Hey babe! This one is for every woman who's ever thought, “If I just hustle harder, I’ll finally feel successful.” 🙋‍♀️Today I'm joined by my dear friend Katy McFee—former biotech and tech executive turned leadership coach—who climbed all the way to VP and EVP... only to realize that grinding 10x harder than everyone else wasn’t the answer. In fact? It nearly burned her out.We're talking about what it *actually* takes to rise in your career (or in your life!) without sacrificing your health, your family, or yourself. Whether you're in corporate, running a business, or managing a household, you're going to see yourself in this conversation.Because here's the truth:*you can have it all....but you cannot do it all.We dive into:- Why “working harder” becomes a liability at higher levels of leadership  - How to identify your zone of genius (and stop obsessing over your weaknesses)  - The burnout recipe most women don’t even realize they’re following  - How to create visibility at work *and* at home without feeling awkward  - Why you're not a tree—and you're allowed to move  - The power of non-negotiables and boundaries (without apology)  - How motherhood actually boosts your efficiency and prioritization  - Why perfectionism is secretly draining you  - What “having it all” really means  Katy shares her own story of burning out, leaving corporate, doing deep inner work in her 40s, and building a life she genuinely loves. We also talk about comparison traps, negotiating maternity leave unapologetically, setting calendar boundaries, and how to align your life with what you actually want (and not just what looks good on paper).If you've ever looked around at your “perfect” life and felt miserable… this episode will feel like a permission slip.YOU get to decide what energizes you—and build from there.Go connect with Katy McFee:- Podcast: "More Women Promoted" — https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/more-women-promoted/id1799258767  - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/katy-mcfee-3880b4a  - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/katy.mcfee/  And babe, if you loved this episode, go leave a rating and review.

Hey friends! This episode is such a special one because I'm bringing one of my real-life clients back on the pod to talk about something I've never fully unpacked here before: my Best Life Ever Mastermind.But this is NOT just one giant commercial. This episode is about helping you start implementing these principles right now. Today. On your random Tuesday in February.Kelly shares what her life looked like before---corporate grind, 13 Zoom meetings a day, Slack messages at 5am, clenching her jaw through soccer games---and what it looks like now: yoga in the middle of the day, no work email on her phone, focused work blocks, real rest, and actually enjoying her kids in the evening.If you've ever followed the "American Dream Playbook" and then woken up wondering... wait, is this actually what I want? You are going to feel so seen.We talk about:Why so many high-achieving women never stop to ask, "What do I actually want?"How hustle culture keeps your cortisol high and your life on holdThe myth that fulfillment and ambition can't coexistWhat it really takes to love your calendar instead of dreading itHow small, consistent tweaks can completely change your day-to-dayThe power of boundaries (including deleting work email from your phone 👀)Why filling your cup makes you a better leader, partner, and parentKelly describes her old calendar as a "traffic jam" and her new one as a "tree-lined suburban street." THAT is the shift we're talking about.And here's what I want you to do after listening:Start asking yourself every single day: What do I want?Schedule one tiny thing this week that fills your cup---and hold that boundary.Put a recurring calendar reminder to schedule rest, pleasure, or fun.If you're ready to create one big dream AND be obsessed with your day-to-day life, Best Life Ever Mastermind might be for you.

Okay babes… this is a very special Free The Moms episode.This one is actually a replay-style webinar training that I hosted, and I decided to bring it to the podcast because this conversation needs to happen out loud. We are talking all things peptides. Yes, GLP-1s. And also NAD+, glutathione, B12, BPC-157 and more. But the main focus of this training is GLP-1s—why so many of my clients are taking them, why some are microdosing, why some are on a full weight-loss dose… and why I personally am on a microdose.I’ll be honest with you. I was nervous to release this. There is still so much stigma around GLP-1s. And I don’t love that. So we’re de-stigmatizing it. We’re having the conversation. Because my job is to bring you information, empowerment, and options—without shame.Inside this episode, I walk you through:- What peptides actually are (and why they’re not some scary foreign thing)- The difference between microdosing a GLP-1 and using a full weight-loss dose- Why I chose to microdose—and how I think about it in the context of longevity and metabolic health- Semaglutide vs tirzepatide (single agonist vs dual agonist) and what that actually means- What my clients are experiencing on these medications- Side effects like nausea and how they’re managing it- Why medical oversight matters and how to think about doing this responsiblyWe also talk about other supportive peptides like NAD+ and glutathione, and why this conversation is bigger than “just weight loss.” For many of my clients, this is about metabolic healing, inflammation, energy, and feeling like themselves again.If you’re curious, skeptical, interested, or just want to understand what the heck everyone is talking about, this episode is for you. You get to decide what’s right for your body. Always.If you want to explore further, you can check out the peptides portal here:https://lmd.com/LauraConleyAnd if you attended the webinar live (or signed up), you’ll receive the replay, consult link, booking link, and all resources via email.I love you guys. I’m proud of you for being open-minded. And I’m committed to giving you the tools and information you need to make empowered choices for your health.

Hey mama — Today I’m sharing two simple practices that have quietly changed how I show up as a mom… not by doing more, but by protecting my time and energy on purpose.In this solo episode, I’m talking about the do-nothing day and one-on-one staycations with your kids — and why both are so powerful. A do-nothing day is exactly what it sounds like: you clear your calendar and do nothing productive. No errands. No catching up. No “just real quick.” If the idea brings up guilt or panic, that’s actually a sign you need it. I walk you through how to schedule it, how to hold the boundary, and why this kind of rest makes you a more patient, present mom.I also share why doing short, one-on-one staycations with each of my kids has been so meaningful. Getting out of the house, removing the mental load of cooking and cleaning, and being fully present for 24 hours created deeper connection than weeks of trying to do it “right” at home.Also don’t forget:• Free peptides webinar on February 11 at 12pm MT    Sign up at lauraconley.com/pep (or email team@lauraconley.com for the replay)• Mom’s Actual New Year    A 3-week planning reset for real mom life — February is the real new year    $297, or join free when you watch and share my TEDx talk.• Best Life Ever Mastermind    Starts February 26 and runs through July    One goal, deep support, and an in-person retreat.If this resonates, DM me when you schedule your do-nothing day. I want to know you actually did it!

If you keep waiting to feel confident, ready, or comfortable before you say yes to the thing you actually want. A new job. A retreat. A party where you only know one person. Dating again. Speaking up. Starting the thing. Nicole and I are unpacking why “being comfortable” is the wrong goal—and what actually works instead.We talk about why new spaces are *supposed* to feel uncomfortable, why courage has a real physical sensation in your body (and why it kind of sucks), and how waiting to feel ready is often the very thing keeping you stuck. If you’ve ever told yourself “I’ll do it once I feel better / calmer / more confident,” this episode will lovingly interrupt that pattern.You’ll hear us cover:- Why you don’t get comfortable *before* new experiences—you get comfortable *by doing them*- What courage actually feels like in the body (and why it’s not calm)- How to build a simple personal “toolbox” for uncomfortable moments- Why breath is the most underrated regulation tool you already have- Grounding practices that help you come back into your body fast- How reframing nerves can immediately reduce anxiety- Why everyone you think is confident is still nervous- The difference between fear as a signal vs fear as a stop sign- How to stop letting discomfort talk you out of your dreamsAnd if you’re a mom listening to this thinking, “Okay, but I barely survived January”...let’s be honest: January for moms is a prank.While everyone else is goal-setting and “new year, new me”-ing, we’re taking down decorations, surviving winter break, hosting family, and running on fumes. So if you’re just now feeling ready to think about your year… you’re right on time.That’s why we created The Mom’s Actual New Year (Feb 9–26) — a 3-week, bite-sized, fun-forward reset designed for real mom life. No pressure. No perfection. Just live coaching, accountability, and a vision board party to help you reconnect to what you actually want and start moving—without waiting to feel ready.Because comfort doesn’t come first. Action does.February is the real new year. Dur doi.👉 Join us here: https://portal.lauraconley.com/offers/LvJeq9H2If there’s something you’ve been avoiding because you’re “not comfortable yet,” consider this your nudge. You don’t need to feel ready. You just need to go.

Hey babe—this episode came straight from an IG Live with Nicole (aka Coco) that was too good not to live forever.We’re talking about goals, timelines, deadlines, and the sneaky way we let external things decide how we feel about ourselves—the scale, money, progress, and whether we’re on track. And one of my favorite parts of this whole conversation is the idea of being the "label maker."Nothing actually means anything until we label it. A missed deadline. A number on the scale. A goal you didn’t hit exactly the way you planned. Failure isn’t a fact—it’s a label. And you’re the one holding the label maker.In this episode, Nicole and I talk about how to keep dreaming and setting goals without using them as a weapon against yourself. How to let timelines be information instead of a verdict. And why the “when” is kind of none of your business… but still helpful as a mile marker.This conversation is for you if you want to:Stop labeling everything as a failureLearn how to set goals without fear or self-punishmentUnderstand how external metrics quietly hijack your emotionsUse timelines as data, not self-worthPractice having your own back—even when things don’t go as plannedYou don’t need to stop dreaming to feel safe. You don’t need to stop setting goals to protect yourself. You just need to choose better labels.And if this episode hits and you want support doing this work in your own life—around weight loss, self-trust, and freedom—come find me at lauraconley.com. We don’t do shame here, babe 💖
