Reclaiming Food, Freedom & The Last 10

In this episode, I talk about weight loss as a self-love journey — especially for women who have weight-related goals and refuse to repeat the harmful systems and patterns that created the struggle in the first place. If you've ever felt caught between wanting results and also wanting to heal your relationship with your body and food, this episode is for you. I share why weight goals and healing don't have to be separate paths and HOW, when the approach honors the whole human — not just food — sustainable results become possible without shame, yo-yo dieting, or replicating the harms of diet culture. Because meaningful transformation never comes from force. It comes from creating conditions where change can actually take root. It's why I also share how TL10 is designed to support both healing and results — together. Enrollment for TL10 is open through February 14.

In this final episode of Self‑Care Practices for Times of Injustice and Rising Fascism, I walk you through what support and community truly mean as a self-care practice when the world feels unsafe and heavy— especially as we witness more violence and injustice. I share how I've intentionally rooted myself in relationships and spaces where I can bring my whole humanity — where we can laugh, rest, dream, and also hold grief with each other. I unpack in-depth how I've intentionally CHOSEN the communities that hold me, the friendships and family who reflect my values, and why community, support, and allyship during this time are essential. Community is medicine. Support is medicine. We don't heal in isolation. We heal together — AND we're stronger together. PRESS PLAY AND LISTEN NOW. xo Brenda PS. If one of the things you're wanting or needing right now is a community of like‑minded women — women who are on their journeys healing their relationship with food and their bodies, women with weight‑related goals who refuse to do weight loss in the same harmful ways that created the harm in the first place — I want to invite you into my community: TL10. TL10 (The Last 10) is a coaching community where healing and results come together — where you're supported to break free from emotional eating, self‑sabotage, and the old cycles that have held you back, without diet‑culture rules or shame. It's a place where your goals are named by you, and your empowerment and self-liberation matter.

In this episode of 8 Self‑Care Practices for Times of Injustice and Rising Fascism — we dive into self‑compassion, and how it can support you when old coping habits like emotional eating, numbing, late‑night eating, or eating for comfort show up. I unpack the nervous‑system science for how self‑criticism triggers stress responses and how (on the flipside) self‑compassion literally calms your body and nervous system, helping you think clearly and respond intentionally rather than reactively . I share real examples from my own journey and how noticing without judgment and asking "What do I actually need?" changes everything. This isn't self‑care fluff. It's much needed support and medicine. Press play. xo Brenda ps.

In this episode of the series 8 Self‑Care Practices for Times of Injustice and Rising Fascism— I dive into ancestral resilience — the deep strength, wisdom, and instincts passed down through generations that can support us as we navigate through these moments. I share real examples from my own life — my dad's example of dignity and power, the medicine of cacao, and the legacy of my Purépecha ancestors defending their sovereignty — to show how Ancestral Resilience and Generational Power can be tapped into as a real, living source of strength and resilience in times of hardship or injustice. *And if you're not wanting to reach for the sweets/snacks when your life or the world are feeling overwhelming, I want you to know it's essential to diversify our sources of comfort and strength. We get to claim and walk in the wisdom, resilience, and power already coursing through our veins. This isn't self‑care fluff. It's needed support and medicine. Press play. xo Brenda ps.
