Hey mama, welcome back to another raw and real installment of the Drop 8 Diaries with Meghan Weaver! 🎉 If you’ve ever let the number on the scale hijack your mood, this episode is going to speak directly to your soul. Meghan is just three days into her month-long goal, and she’s already staring down the mental drama that comes with a surprise scale bump—even after nailing her protocol on vacation (go, Meghan! 💃).

But instead of spiraling, we coached through it. What came out? Pure gold.

We’re breaking down the *actual* reasons why the scale fluctuates (hint: it’s probably not fat), how to avoid letting that one number derail your motivation, and how to shift into a more compassionate, trusting relationship with your body and this process. If you’re someone who still gives the scale way too much power, this episode is your permission slip to stop chasing it and start choosing *you*.

Here’s what we’re diving into:

- Why you might gain weight AFTER vacation, even when you “did everything right”

- How to tell the difference between fat gain and normal fluctuations (hi, hormones!)

- The power of staying committed to your protocol *no matter what the scale says*

- How perfectionism and “gold star” thinking sabotage our goals

- Why “just showing up” is actually the secret to weight loss success

You’ll also hear us riff on how to journal with more celebration (yes please 🙌), how to connect emotions to your eating choices, and what it looks like to loosen the grip and still make amazing progress.

✨ Take the next step and let us help you for free! ✨

Go take the quiz at http://ymx.lauraconley.com/party to find out exactly what’s blocking *you* from losing weight for the last time. Based on your results, we’ll personally reach out with custom tips and tricks. Don’t wait—this is your moment, mama.

Hey, babe! Welcome to the first-ever Drop 8 Diaries—a real-time, behind-the-scenes look at what it’s actually like to lose 8 pounds in one month using the Yummy Mummy Method. And our guest? The amazing Megan, a Yummy Mummy client who’s already dropped nearly 60 pounds and is back for more!

This isn’t about willpower or punishment. It’s about structure, support, and showing up with fun and ease. In this episode, Laura and Megan break down exactly how they’re approaching this next chapter—from setting a goal without pressure to crafting a plan that feels custom-fit and sustainable.

You’ll hear:

- Why Megan’s aiming for another 7–10 pounds this month (and what’s different this time)

- How she’s building her protocol: no sugar, no flour, intermittent fasting, and… Smart Sweets?!

- What it actually means to hold a goal with commitment, not attachment

- The sneaky power of fun and dopamine when you're going after something big

- How healthy restriction (think: “no alcohol on weeknights”) can feel empowering, not depriving

Megan gets real about nerves, mindset wobbles, and why this phase of her journey feels both exciting and scary. And if you're curious about whether you could do the same thing? Spoiler alert: YOU CAN.

Come watch it all unfold in real time—and join us! We’re holding your hand the whole way.

You know that tiny voice inside that whispers “there’s more”? The one you’ve maybe ignored because you’re too busy, too tired, or just plain skeptical? This episode is for her.

I’m joined by my radiant friend and psychic medium Jenni Conn to talk about what happens when you stop outsourcing your power and finally start listening to yourself. My soul got freaking nourished by this!!

Because what if your weight isn't really about the food—or even your body? What if it's a signal from your soul that you’ve been out of alignment?

Together, Jenni and I unpack the link between mediumship, intuition, emotional safety, and sustainable weight loss. We talk about the wounds we inherited, the identities we’re ready to shed, and how coming home to yourself can literally change your body.

You’ll learn:

• Why trusting your gut feeling is more powerful than any diet
• How emotional weight might be what’s actually keeping you stuck
• The difference between emotional labor and emotional leadership (and why that matters)
• How to stop trying to “fix” yourself and start feeling yourself
• Why stillness, not hustle, might be your secret weight loss weapon

Plus, I share my own experience of how my intuition—not a meal plan—led me to lose weight for the last time. This episode is all about reclaiming your knowing, releasing the shame, and realizing you’ve always had the answers.

P.S. We’ve got a *free* challenge happening right now that you do NOT want to miss! 🎉 Head to http://ymx.lauraconley.com/party to join the YMX 5-Pound Weight Loss Challenge.

Ever feel like you're doing motherhood by the book—but the book was written by someone who forgot moms are actual humans? This episode hits hard if you’ve been silently following the rules, checking the boxes, and still wondering, “Wait…where did I go?”

Dr. Gertrude Lyons is here to help us unravel those inherited “codes” that say good moms should martyr themselves—and show us how to rewrite them with joy, freedom, and our own damn values.

This episode is your permission slip—and your roadmap—to do just that. I’m joined by the radiant Dr. Gertrude Lyons, clinical psychologist, spiritual guide, and author of Rewrite the Mother Code: From Sacrifice to Stardust. We’re diving deep into the outdated, inherited codes around motherhood that have shaped how we show up—and how to rewrite them from a place of empowerment, joy, and cosmic alignment.

We get into why self-sacrifice is not the gold standard for motherhood (even though it’s been sold to us like it is), how to spot the generational and cultural codes running your mothering, and what it looks like to mother from your own values—not guilt, obligation, or fear.

You’ll hear all about:

• The lie that good mothers put themselves last (and why it doesn’t actually work)
• How to identify the “mother codes” you’ve inherited and rewrite them consciously
• Why pleasure, and fun (and maybe even pickleball!) are crucial to good parenting
• How to create your own “mother code statement” as a daily compass
• Why it’s your responsibility to be the fullest version of you—for yourself and your kids
• The PACT framework: Patience, Affirmation, Compassion, and Trust

Plus, we go deep on generational healing, shame-free reparenting, the wisdom of Lilith, and how to turn guilt into curiosity. If you’ve ever felt judged for parenting differently or questioned whether you’re “doing it right,” this episode is for you. You are allowed—encouraged, even—to do it your way.

✨ Wanna lose 5 pounds this week without the old-school rules? Join the free challenge at ymx.lauraconley.com/party. It’s totally free, and we walk you step-by-step through how to do it in a way that feels amazing.

Have you ever felt like parenting is way harder than it should be? Like no matter how many bedtime stories you read or how often you try to stay calm, the meltdowns and mom guilt just don’t quit? This week’s episode is your permission slip to stop white-knuckling it and start seeing parenting for what it really is: a skill you can learn.

I’m joined by my dear friend and client Dr. Sarah Crystal, clinical psychologist turned parent coach, and she’s here to blow your mind with the truth that parenting isn’t something you’re supposed to just know how to do. We talk about how this shift in mindset changes everything—from how we show up with our kids to how often we find ourselves in the pantry stress-eating ice cream.

Dr. Sarah breaks down her Behavior Needs Pyramid and gives you the tools to decode what’s really going on underneath the tantrums (hint: it’s probably not about the popsicle). This one is packed with golden nuggets for every mom who’s felt like they’re “doing it wrong” and wondered why it’s all so hard. Plus, we’re diving deep into how nervous system regulation, validation, and even sugar affect your kid’s behavior—and your own emotional eating.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why parenting is a learned skill (not something you're born knowing how to do)

• What’s really going on under your kid’s behavior—and how to decode it

• How unmet needs lead to meltdowns (in kids and moms!)

• Why taking care of yourself is the most important parenting strategy of all

• How to talk about food with your kids in a way that’s empowering, not damaging

• Why setting boundaries isn’t control—it’s love

This one is for every mama who wants to stop guessing and start parenting with purpose—and YES, it’s so tied into your weight loss journey. Because when you’re depleted, dysregulated, and drowning in guilt, that pantry looks really good. Let’s fix it from the root.

Hey mama—ever find yourself elbow-deep in snacks, not because you're hungry, but because something just hurts?

This week on the pod, we’re exploring the sneaky connection between grief and emotional eating with grief expert and life coach Krista St. Germain. Whether you’ve lost a loved one or a version of your life that never came to be, grief can quietly shape your habits with food and your relationship to your body.

Krista shares her own powerful story of loss and how she turned pain into purpose—helping women process grief without getting stuck in it. We bust myths about the five stages, talk about the long tail of secondary losses, and get honest about why our culture kind of sucks at making space for sadness.

And of course, we get practical. You’ll learn somatic tools that actually work to regulate your nervous system without raiding the pantry.

If you’ve ever felt like your hunger wasn’t really about food—this one’s for you.

You’ll learn:

• Why the five stages of grief are outdated (and what actually helps)

• How unprocessed grief drives emotional eating

• Somatic tools to regulate your nervous system without using food

• What post-traumatic growth really means (and how to start creating it)

• The difference between “moving on” and “moving forward”

• How grief shows up in your body—even years later

• Why noticing your patterns is something to celebrate, not shame

Hey mama—are you stressed? Like, REALLY stressed? And doing everything you're supposed to without any results? Then this one's for you.

In this week’s show, Laura sits down with Kama, a Yummy Mummy alum who traded constant overwhelm and stress-eating for confidence, calm, and radical self-love.

Kama is a full-time financial advisor, wife, and mom of two who spent years doing “all the right things”—macro tracking, 60-hour work weeks, constant workouts—but still felt stuck in a cycle of weight loss and regain. In this heartfelt and honest conversation, she shares how the Yummy Mummy Experience helped her finally break free.

You’ll hear how she went from waking up dreading the day to becoming the calmest, kindest version of herself (yes, even at pizza parties). And if you’ve ever hated journaling? Kama was there too—but now it’s her secret weapon. This episode is full of mic-drop moments, including a powerful story about a number on a scale, a comment from her husband, and a self-love response that’ll shift your whole perspective.

Listen in to hear:

- The difference between *hard* work and *heavy* work (and why one fuels you and the other drains you)

- Why journaling worked for Kama—even as a busy, skeptical mom

- The real reason willpower and macro counting never gave her lasting results

- How the Yummy Mummy method helped her drop 30+ pounds and love who she sees in the mirror

- Why it’s not about food being the focus anymore—and how that creates real freedom

- How investing in herself (yes, even financially!) gave her the ROI of a lifetime

- How Kama’s calm has rippled through her whole family—and what she’s teaching her kids now

If you’ve ever wondered whether true change is possible while living a full, busy life—this episode is your proof.
