The 80% Club

If you've been feeling like social media is draining your energy and stealing time from the things that actually matter, this episode is for you. Liz and Ally share their honest experiences with taking intentional breaks from social media and how it's transformed their capacity for showing up in their lives—and their health.
From the app that actually works to the surprising ways scrolling affects your stress levels, this is a real conversation about finding balance in our always-online world.
In this episode:
Why social media breaks aren't just about screen time—they're about your health
The constant search for new strategies vs. actually doing what you already know
 How blocking social media during key times (4-7 PM, weekends) changes so much
The Opal app: why this one actually works when others don't
The hidden cost: decision fatigue and mental drain from constant scrolling
Comparison culture and the low-level stress you don't even notice
The dopamine hit cycle and why you keep reaching for your phone
Practical strategies: apps, phone placement, and intentional boundaries
What 24 hours offline actually feels like (spoiler: you'll notice the difference)
Whether you're trying to lose weight, manage stress, or just feel more present in your life, reducing social media might be the missing piece you haven't considered. This episode is full of relatable moments and practical tools to help you take back your time and mental energy.

In this workshop replay, Liz breaks down the four biggest weight loss mistakes she sees moms making over and over again: relying on exercise to drive fat loss, depending on willpower, focusing on "clean eating" instead of energy balance, and trying to fix emotional eating with more rules. If you're on a weight loss journey this episode will show you how to shift into the approach that actually works for moms!

If you're in your late 30s or early 40s, or suspect you're in perimenopause, and suddenly weight loss feels way harder — this episode is for you.
In Part 1 of our perimenopause series, we break down what's actually happening in your body, why belly weight shows up differently, and why hormones aren't the whole story. We talk aging, lifestyle, estrogen shifts, insulin resistance, and why weight loss rules don't really change 👀
Most importantly: you're not doomed. Weight loss is still possible — it just may require a more intentional, updated approach than it did before.
🎧 Stay tuned for Part 2 with specific, actionable strategies.
