Ep #101: The Impossible Loop of GLP 1 Judgment... and How to Break Free

In this episode, I’m digging into something so many women on GLP‑1s quietly face: the impossible loop of judgment. Judged for struggling with food or weight… and then judged again for choosing a tool that helps. If you’ve ever felt like you can’t win, you’re not imagining it — you’re living inside a cultural double bind. I break down why people react so strongly to GLP‑1s, what their opinions are really about, and how to stay rooted in your own truth when others don’t understand your choices. We’ll talk about the emotional work that happens long before medication ever enters the picture, and the courage it takes to choose support in a world that sends mixed messages at every turn. If you’re navigating this landscape, I want you to know you’re not alone. You’re choosing yourself. You’re choosing support. You’re choosing freedom — and that’s something to be proud of.

Ep #100: 6 Quiet Emotional Shifts on GLP‑1s No One Talks About

When the food noise quiets, the emotional noise becomes clearer. In this episode, I walk you through six parts of the GLP‑1 journey that often get overlooked — identity shifts, old patterns resurfacing, fears about the future, and the deeper emotional work that medication alone can’t touch. If you’ve ever wondered why cravings, urges, or worries still show up even when your appetite changes, this conversation will help you understand what’s happening beneath the surface and how to feel more grounded through the process. Whether you’re brand‑new to GLP‑1s or deep into your journey, this episode will help you feel seen, understood, and less alone. And if you want more support, be sure to grab my new guide, The GLP‑1 Self‑Trust Starter Kit. [https://www.amyenglishcc.com/glp1selftruststarterkit]

Ep #98: Wegovy, Insulin, and the Foundation of Food Freedom

This episode is my honest account of navigating post‑menopause, insulin resistance, and the decision to try Wegovy. I share the fear, the frustration, and the relief of finally saying yes to support while battling the maze of insurance. Three weeks in, I’ve lost nine pounds—but more importantly, I’ve realized medication is only a temporary tool. The lasting freedom—the peace with food, the trust in my hunger cues, the release of shame—comes from the inner work I’ve already done. Food freedom is possible, and building that foundation is yours to keep.

Ep #97: 12 Lessons in 12 Years

Twelve years ago, I received the phone call that changed everything: breast cancer. Since then, December 2nd has become my cancerversary, a day of reflection, gratitude, and honoring the journey. In this episode, I share 12 lessons from 12 years, wisdom shaped not only by cancer but by the healing, cycle-breaking, and living that followed. Whether it’s trusting intuition, reframing stress eating, or redefining success, these lessons encourage anyone navigating food, body, or life struggles. Join me as I reflect on what this cancerversary has taught me about resilience, self-trust, and the power of listening to the whispers that can change and even save our lives.
