Episode 201 — Staying Grounded After a Slip: Kelsea – Session 3

In this follow-up coaching session, Kelsea opens up about a tough moment with food earlier in the week — and what makes this conversation powerful is what she didn’t do: she didn’t throw in the towel. Instead, she reflected, regrouped, and got back on track.

We talk about shifting the focus away from the number on the scale and toward how daily habits feel. Kelsea is learning that progress isn’t just about physical changes; it’s about emotional resilience, mental clarity, and self-compassion.

Together, we dig into her 30-day tracker, explore how stress can reignite old binge eating patterns, and discuss tools she’s using to stay grounded — like the Happy Scale app for gentle progress tracking and daily time-mapping for more intentional living.

Kelsea shares how she’s practicing being more present with her kids, planning ahead for tricky social events, and noticing when she’s moving her own goal posts — a classic sign of self-sabotage and all-or-nothing thinking.

We also explore the deeper challenge of giving yourself grace after a slip-up, learning to enjoy fun without guilt, and letting go of the need for outside validation.
