  • Hey babes! We're diving into a topic that I think is such a game-changer when it comes to weight loss. 


    So, let me take you back 10 years---imagine me, totally nailing my diet Monday through Thursday, only to lose control every weekend. I'd drop two pounds by Thursday, then gain it right back by Monday. Sound familiar?


    It wasn't until I looked at my pattern (and trust me, I had 15 years of it!) that I realized something critical: the typical "80-20" rule just didn't cut it for me. And doing 98-2? Ugh, it felt like zero fun, which is basically against my life philosophy! 


    I needed a new way to fill my "pleasure cup" that didn't involve food. That led me on a journey to find true pleasures -- things that light me up during and after, like taking walks with friends, going to yoga, or having a dance party with my team. 


    One of the best parts of this discovery? 


    I learned how to build a life filled with "delicious dopamine" that doesn't rely on cupcakes or cocktails. This type of true pleasure is sustainable and way more satisfying than temporary food highs. 


    But how do we start filling our days with things that bring us joy so we can finally lose weight for the last time? Listen in and learn more about:

    How to break the cycle of dieting and overeatingWhy "80-20" doesn't work for everyone and what to do insteadWhat will finally stop those late-night pantry raids 

    And by the way, mama: if you're ready to learn how to consistently build more joy into your life and stop compensating with food, let's have a chat. My calendar is open for a call where you can ask any and all questions you want about the Yummy Mummy Experience. So get your booty over to my scheduler now to book a free consultation call with me and see if this program is your next right step!

  • Hey, friends! I am SO excited to be here in my “bougie” Halloween tee – it’s a ghost with a Stanley mug and fanny pack – the works! 


    In today’s episode, we’re tackling the ultimate roadblock for so many of us: boredom eating (or as I like to call it, pantry pacing). Whether it’s boredom, procrastination, or just plain habit, we're diving into why we eat out of boredom and the best strategies to break free.


    Do you ever find yourself randomly fridge-gazing in the middle of the day? I totally get it! We’ll explore how to spot those cues and the differences between actual hunger and "I’d rather be eating than tackling my to-do list."


    Plus, as a special treat, I reached out to my Yummy Mummy program clients to share their “before” stories as boredom eaters and their “after” success stories! We’ll get into their tips about how they curb boredom without derailing their goals – and you can, too.


    And hey
 sometimes boredom eating is just procrastination in a really good costume. So I’m sharing about tools and tricks to stop putting things off – whether it’s a snack or that 8-minute task that’s been haunting you for weeks.


    Check out today’s episode to hear all about how to:

    Get honest with yourself about whether you’re eating for fuel or as a mental break, and explore other ways to rechargeFind healthier "band-aid" alternatives to curb unnecessary snacking while working on deeper hunger awarenessShift your entertainment focus from food to fulfilling social connections or creative hobbiesEstablish a clear daily schedule that prioritizes rest and pleasure first, reducing the urge to snack from stress or fatigue

    Oh and mama, here’s one last thing: if you’re ready to explore the mindset work that goes into creating weight loss that lasts, let’s have a chat. My calendar is open for a call where you can ask any and all questions you want about the Yummy Mummy Experience. So get your booty over to my scheduler now to book a free consultation call with me and see if this program is your next right step!

  • Hey, lovely! This episode, we’re diving headfirst into the big, juicy topic that everyone seems to be whispering about lately: Ozempic, GLP-1s, and weight loss meds. 


    You’ve probably heard about Ozempic everywhere — at happy hours, in friend circles, maybe even in your own conversations. If you’ve been curious about whether these meds are a miracle fix or just another trend, spoiler: It's not a "yes" or "no" answer!


    And if you’re anything like me, you want a clear perspective and space to form your own thoughts about it, right?


    So let’s talk about it. Like any tool, it has its pros and cons. You might have heard it being called a “magic pill,” but the truth is, these meds can be helpful for some and tricky for others. They’re not a root solution, and pairing them with lifestyle work like what I teach in the Yummy Mummy Experience is key.


    My hope is that by the end of this episode, you’ll have a fresh perspective on whether this path resonates with you or not. Finding true confidence and self-love comes with a reminder: there’s no “right” path, just the one that brings you closer to living as your best self. You deserve to weigh what feels right for you — with or without meds.


    Tune in to hear more about:

    My stance on Ozempic and weight loss medsWhy healing emotionally is crucial to lasting weight lossTools that can help you create deep healing and build emotional resilienceThe importance of dropping guilt, judgment, or shame whether you use weight loss medications or notStories of clients who tried Ozempic but ultimately chose lifestyle change as their main strategy

    And mama, here’s one last thing: if you’re ready to explore the mindset work that goes into creating weight loss that lasts, let’s have a chat. My calendar is open for a call where you can ask any and all questions you want about the Yummy Mummy Experience.

  • In this episode, I’m chatting with my good friend Jenny J, the founder and CEO of EmpowerU. Jenny and I go way back (thank you, Nike!), and it was so fun to reconnect and dive into the real reasons many of us struggle to lose weight and keep it off. 


    Jenny is on a mission to free women (especially moms) from the prison of diet culture, and today, she’s sharing her personal story and what she’s learned along the way.


    Jenny opens up about her own personal journey with yo-yo dieting, trying to "bounce back" after having her daughter, and the moment that shifted everything for her. She was done with the food drama and figured out a way to reach her happy weight without starving herself or obsessing over food. And trust me, if she can do it, so can you!


    This episode is all about breaking free from diet culture, and I truly hope it helps you feel empowered to take control of your own relationship with food and your body. I can't wait for you to hear it!


    Listen in to hear more about:

    Our culture’s obsession with food and how it contributes to emotional eatingHow many of us don’t even realize we’re emotionally eating (and how to break the cycle!)What mindset actually means when it comes to weight loss and how you can start applying it in your own lifeWhat hunger hormones are and why balancing them is essential for weight loss

    Bottom line is, you can leave diet culture behind AND create a healthy legacy for your family.

  • When we've finally lost weight for the last time, sometimes the last obstacle to feeling like our true selves is knowing how to style the new body we're in. Today's guest is here to dispel the myths and mystery behind HOW clothing becomes a powerful tool for boosting self-worth, confidence, and overall well-being.


    We're talking all about style, confidence, and feeling magnetic in what you wear! I'm tickled to introduce you to my fabulous guest, Chellie Carlson, a transformational wardrobe stylist who helps women go from "fine" to "frickin' magnetic" in their wardrobes.


    We dive into why we often default to feeling "fine" in our clothes and how stepping out of the crowd can bring up fears of judgment.

    And how what we wear affects not only our mood but also our actions, energy, and even our relationships. Seriously, Chellie drops gem after gem on how to dress in a way that embraces YOUR shape!


    Whether you're stuck in the "safe zone" of leggings and sweatshirts or simply need a push to embrace your magnetic self, this episode will leave you ready to step up your style game and feel amazing, inside and out.


    A few key takeaways from our conversation:

    Chellie's magic formula for turning your wardrobe from basic to magneticYou don't need a brand-new wardrobe; you can transform how you feel with the pieces you already ownSay goodbye to "closet crazies"---remove clothes that no longer fit to free your mind and spaceLess is more---invest in quality pieces that make you feel your bestFit is key---if it fits well, it's always in style\ And mama, if this episode speaks to you, let's have a chat.

  • You’re a working mom who wants to lose weight, but you keep running into the same wall: who freaking has time to learn how to lose weight for the last time??


    That was exactly Emma’s question when she was on maternity leave. Emma is an amazing, beloved Yummy Mummy client I invited onto the pod to speak about her experience. Before she joined, she knew she wanted to drop her post-pregnancy weight, but life was already bonkers with a newborn (she has 3 kids, after all!). Then add weight loss goals on top of it? It seemed like way too much to commit to.


    Emma had made so many attempts at weight loss over the years, she could tell you exactly how many calories are in a banana, but no approach seemed to work. They definitely didn’t last. She was doubtful anything ever would. She didn’t know what else was left that she hadn’t already tried.


    You can see where I’m going with this ;) Emma joined the Yummy Mummy Experience (YMX) and found everything she’d been missing from the other weight loss strategies she’d been trying for years. 


    Listen into our conversation and hear Emma share about:

    Why she decided to commit to YMX The doubts and fears she felt when she decided to lose weight for the last timeHow YMX provided the missing key that unlocked her weight lossWhat choice and freedom mean when it comes to a new food mindsetThe impact of the support and guidance of a true community

    And mama, if Emma’s message speaks to you, you’re here at just the right time. Doors are currently OPEN for the next cohort of YMX! We start September 25, so get your booty over to lauraconley.com to learn everything you need to know, and you can even book a free consultation call with me to see if this program is your next right step.

  • One of my favorite clients ever is here to share a bit about her story inside the Yummy Mummy Experience!


    Liron joins me on the pod today from her home in Kansas City where she lives with her husband and two kids and I know you’re going to relate to her prior struggle with weighing what she wanted.


    “In the grand scheme of things, I just wanted to lose 10-15 pounds, but it was a lot harder than I thought it was going to be. When I did things like Noom, I would do it in six to eight weeks and then go on vacation, or something would happen (good or bad) and I didn’t have the tools to not give up. So then it became a vicious cycle for two years.”


    Liron had been listening to THIS podcast for eight months when she finally decided to join the Yummy Mummy cohort this past January. 


    “It’s a village of people who are like-minded, who are all successful in their own right, who need cheerleaders behind them to get this done. It’s a way to do something that’s hard but do it with others who really uplift you and support you.”


    Hop in on our conversation and hear straight from Liron about:

    Why Yummy Mummy is different for your weight loss than going it aloneHow she learned not to give up on herself anymoreThe safety and sisterhood Liron found in the Yum Mum communityWhat pleasantly surprised her about joining Yum Mum and how it compares to ‘diets’

    Weighing what you want to weigh is a skill, which means it’s something you can learn. The School of Skinny (my 5-day weight loss challenge) is IN SESSION September 9th-13th but just like any other school, you have to enroll!

  • The frustration of gaining and losing the same four pounds is a special kind of hell. You just want to weigh what you want and feel good in your skin, but you can’t seem to land in that place. It’s always just out of reach. You start to wonder why it seems like your body is failing you.


    It’s the worst. I know, I’ve been there.


    First thing I want you to understand is that this isn’t your fault. We’ve only been taught to gain and lose the same damn four pounds, so of course that’s the only result we see. That’s what diet culture has to offer us.


    The Yummy Mummy method is different. In my program, you get a plan. And before you cringe, no, a plan is not just another word for ‘diet’. Plans are the complete opposite. They’re spacious, easeful, and doable, and it’s how Yum Mums are able to stick to them until they get the results they want. 


    Why? Because we back each Yum Mum’s plan up with psychology and science. Even if you’re not a planner, never been a planner, hate what the word conjures in your mind, I GOT YOU, boo. You let me figure out the plan and you just experience the benefits. 


    Tune into this episode and you’ll learn:

    The two reasons why you gain and lose the same four poundsWhy a custom Yum Mum plan works and diet culture doesn’tHow to make a weight loss plan you’re not a slave toHow to break the over-restricting > overeating cycleEaseful ways to use mindset hacks for success instead of white-knuckling it

  • Time for part 2 of how to be a skinny mom! 


    Keep in mind that we’re using ‘skinny’ as an adjective that describes a mom who feels hot, confident in her skin, and like the best version of herself. You can choose whatever term you want! That’s the beauty of it. 


    If you’re wondering “Okay Laura, but how the heck do I get from feeling frickin’ terrible to amazing?” then go listen to part 1 of this two-parter. I lay out the whole foundation. One of the reasons we don’t weigh what we want is because we have too many demands on our time and energy, so we feel stressed. Part 1 talks about how to avoid getting to that place of overwhelm. 


    Part 2 is going to pick up with what to do when stress does inevitably happen (hel-lo stress-eating) and what to do in the moments after you realize you soothed yourself with food.


    This episode is going to dive into strategies from a compassionate place and I think you’re really going to resonate with it!


    Listen in and hear more about: 

    Multiple stress management strategies so you can choose one that works for youHow to make a counter argument with your brain when it urges you to overeatWays to look at food and weight with a big picture, long-term lensThe importance of persistence and learning from your mistakes

  • If you ever wondered what to do to start feeling better about yourself and your body image as a mom, today is your lucky day. I’m going to take you through each and every how of being a mom who feels good in her skin.


    We’re talking about how to be a hot mom, how to be a skinny mom, a sexy mom, a mom who feels confident in their clothes, light, and alive. 


    And what that REALLY boils down to is how to stop being stressed.


    Because it’s stressful being a mom and/or woman in this world. And stress-eating is a huge way we soothe ourselves. Even if you’re someone who’s thinking, “No, not me. I don’t overeat when I’m stressed,” trust me, you probably do. Stress-eating is freakin’ sneaky.


    You have a really stressful day, you come home and snap at your husband, and then you dive into the chocolate-covered, peanut butter-stuffed pretzels without connecting the two. 


    That’s what I used to do. It’s what SO many of my clients used to do. 


    To make the connection, you need the right tools, and that’s what I want to talk about today. Using the right tools, you can uncover WHY you’re stress-eating in the first place, and then make changes so you can weigh what you want. Finally.


    In this episode, you’ll learn:

    How to get in front of the stress you feelHelpful stress management tools (because human life is stressful regardless)What to do with difficult feelings instead of eatSuper-simple, effective mindset tweaks

    Weighing what you want to weigh is a skill, which means it’s something you can learn.

  • Today’s episode is me sharing my personal story of losing weight for the last time. I think it’s really important to be open and transparent about that process, especially because I (like MANY of us and many of my clients) thought I was a special unicorn. 


    Meaning, I thought I was so uniquely screwed up that I couldn’t lose weight. Other people could, but not me. 


    Now, obviously, babes
 that’s not how the story ended. So I want to tell you more about that journey so you can see that I wasn’t a specially flawed unicorn, and neither are you!


    Because in all honesty, I had accepted defeat. I thought, “This is just going to be the thing that I struggle with forever.”


    I never believed that I could just weigh what I wanted and have a healthy relationship with food and my body. 


    As far as struggles went, I thought it really wasn’t that bad. Until it was. It became unacceptable, and I knew I had to do something that would change my relationship with myself for the better.


    So, today I’m sharing the exact lightbulb moment that changed everything, and how it came to be that I was able to show up as the person I wanted to be and create a new way of relating to my body. 


    Because I wasn’t a special unicorn, that means this isn’t JUST limited to me! I have full confidence (and evidence in past client experiences) that this can work for you, too.
