Welcome to She Lost It, the podcast for anyone ready to let go of what’s been weighing them down and step into a life they truly love. I’m Stefani—an accidental health coach, entrepreneur, mom, and someone who knows what it’s like to lose it all, start over, and come out stronger.
In this first episode, I’m sharing my story—the raw, real, and sometimes messy truth about how I went from drowning in anxiety, debt, food addiction, and people-pleasing to finally taking control of my life. But this podcast isn’t just about my journey—it’s about yours.
Each episode, I’ll share practical tips to help you break free from the patterns holding you back, whether it’s your mindset, your habits, or the stories you’ve been telling yourself. We’ll talk about what it takes to build grit, find your voice, and create a life that feels truly authentic.
Think of this as a conversation between friends—the kind where you leave feeling lighter, inspired, and ready to take action. So if you’re ready to lose what’s been keeping you stuck and gain a whole new perspective, hit play. Let’s do this together.

Send us a text Have you ever felt completely stuck despite having obvious solutions right in front of you? That paralyzing sense of "why even try?" might not be who you truly are—it could be learned helplessness, a psychological condition that's become a silent epidemic. Learned helplessness sneaks into every corner of our lives. It's what makes you give up on healthy eating after multiple failed diets, convinces you that toxic relationships are all you deserve, or stops you from applying fo...
Send us a text Ever find yourself on the verge of quitting right when you're about to breakthrough? That's exactly where I found myself recently, walking through rain—both literally and figuratively—while wrestling with personal struggles and professional milestones simultaneously. The hardest truth I've learned is that resistance isn't telling us to stop—it's actually our compass pointing toward growth. When my world felt like it was falling apart while reaching a business milestone I'd wor...
Send us a text The moment I opened my mother's handwritten prison journal from 1993, I knew this wasn't just about uncovering her story – it was about breaking generational chains of shame that keep us all silent. Reading her perfect cursive now as a 43-year-old mother myself feels wildly different than anything my 11-year-old self could have processed when it was happening in real time. Her words leap off the page like she's sitting across from me, coffee in hand, catching me up on everythi...
Send us a text What happens when you finally open the box you've been dragging for 19 years? That's exactly what I explore in this deeply personal episode as I reveal a family secret I've held close for decades—my mother's prison journal. When I was just eleven years old, my world changed forever as my mother was sentenced to federal prison for embezzling money from a Birmingham coal company. That day in the courtroom remains crystal clear: the judge's bench, the discussion about shackling, ...
Send us a text Have you ever dimmed your light because someone else couldn't handle your shine? In this raw, powerful episode, I'm taking you behind the scenes of what happened when my celebratory weight loss reel went viral – and not always in the kindest corners of the internet. When the comments started flooding in, some supportive but many cruel, I discovered something fascinating: the version of me from five years ago would have crumbled, deleted the post, and apologized for taking up s...
Send us a text The constant pressure to adjust who we are for the comfort of others is a silent drain on our authenticity and energy. In this raw and vulnerable episode, I take you on a deeply personal journey through my own pattern of shapeshifting – that exhausting habit of becoming whoever the room needs me to be. This pattern didn't emerge in adulthood. It took root in my childhood as an only child in a sometimes chaotic home, where I learned to read rooms, anticipate needs, and make mys...
Send us a text Have you ever felt that immediate defensive reaction when someone suggests you're capable of more? That instant tightening in your chest, the flood of justifications, the urge to prove why you're doing enough already? You're not alone. In this deeply personal episode, I share a transformative moment when someone I respect looked me in the eye and told me I was playing small. My immediate reaction? Pure defensiveness. But what followed was a profound realization that changed ev...
Send us a text Ever had that gut feeling when someone says "I promise" that they won't follow through? Or maybe you're the one who means well but consistently falls short on your commitments? This raw, honest conversation digs into the true cost of broken promises and why your word matters more than you might realize. Trust isn't just broken by dramatic betrayals—it's eroded by a pattern of small, unfulfilled promises that silently communicate to others that your words can't be relied upon. ...
Send us a text Ever found yourself in a comparison spiral that left you feeling totally paralyzed? You're scrolling through social media when suddenly you're questioning everything about your life, wondering why everyone else seems to have it all figured out while you're struggling just to keep up. That's exactly where I found myself this week, and it almost took me out completely. But here's the truth bomb I discovered: comparison can either be the thief of your confidence or the fuel for y...
Send us a text Have you ever felt your heart racing, chest tightening, and hands shaking out of nowhere? Yesterday, that was me—ambushed by a full-blown panic attack while sitting at my desk. The irony wasn't lost on me—someone who helps others find courage, suddenly unable to breathe. This raw, unfiltered episode dives deep into what panic attacks really are and why they happen. Your body isn't betraying you—it's desperately trying to communicate. When we stuff down emotions, live in consta...
Send us a text Have you ever wondered what might happen if you stopped letting your excuses run the show and started turning up the volume on your self-worth? For years, my excuses screamed while my sense of value barely whispered. It's a pattern that keeps so many of us trapped, shrinking in rooms where we should shine and holding our tongues when we have something valuable to say. Those familiar excuses don't always sound like "I can't." They're sneakier, disguising themselves as reasonabl...
Send us a text Have you ever caught yourself saying "I should be more organized" or "Why can't I be better at this?" For years, I was trapped in the same cycle—trying to fix things that weren't broken instead of embracing what already worked naturally. The turning point came when I finally gave myself permission to admit what I wasn't good at. This episode dives deep into the liberating power of owning both your strengths and weaknesses. We explore the dangerous lie that we must be good at ev...
Send us a text Have you ever been paralyzed by that voice in your head screaming that you're not enough? That familiar heaviness that makes you question everything you're doing? You're far from alone. This raw, unfiltered conversation dives into what it truly takes to move forward when self-doubt is riding shotgun. Confidence doesn't appear before action—it's built through the messy, imperfect moments when we choose to show up anyway. Through personal stories of awkward firsts and uncomforta...
Send us a text Have you ever reacted so intensely to someone sneaking up behind you that people laughed or told you to "calm down"? That hypersensitive startle reflex isn't an overreaction—it's your body's trauma response working exactly as designed. Drawing from personal experience, I dive deep into why certain "harmless pranks" can trigger full-blown nervous system meltdowns for people with trauma histories. When someone with PTSD jumps at a small noise or unexpected touch, their body isn'...
Send us a text Have you ever felt completely drained after certain conversations or interactions? That pit in your stomach when specific names appear on your phone? You're not alone. Today's powerful conversation tackles one of life's most challenging yet liberating lessons: protecting your energy isn't selfish—it's essential self-respect. Drawing from my personal journey as a recovering codependent, I share the transformative moment sitting in my car after yet another depleting interaction ...
Send us a text Have you ever felt that heart-pounding, palm-sweating sensation when facing something that scares you? That feeling that whispers "who do you think you are?" right when you're about to take a risk? Welcome to the debut episode of She Lost It, where we dive deep into understanding how fear works as our compass, not our stop sign. Standing in front of the mirror four years ago, I barely recognized myself. Years of people-pleasing and playing small had buried my dreams under laye...
Send us a text Ever wondered why you can't stop at just one bite, even when you promised yourself you would? The answer might be more complex than lacking willpower. Food addiction is the socially acceptable dependency no one wants to acknowledge. Ultra-processed foods trigger the same dopamine pathways as addictive substances, creating powerful neurological responses that feel impossible to resist. For those with ADHD, anxiety disorders, or trauma histories, these effects are even mor...
Send us a text What happens when you finally decide to lose everything that's been weighing you down? Not just physical weight, but the emotional baggage, trauma, fear, shame, guilt, people-pleasing, and stories you've been hauling around like bricks on your back? Welcome to She Lost It, where I'm getting vulnerable about my journey from rock bottom to rebuilding. Four years ago, my life was a complete mess—anxiety, debt, food addiction, a failing marriage, and the crushing weight of e...
