100lbs Down, A Journey for Christian Women with Nicole Young: Christian Health Coaching, Women’s health coaching, Mindset change, Weight loss over 40, Emotional Eating, Christian life coaching

Let’s be honest: You already know what to eat. That isn’t the problem. If knowing how to lose weight was the answer, you’d be done by now. Instead, you’re exhausted by the whole song and dance. "I’ll start Monday" turns into eating chips over the sink by Wednesday, and somehow you’re right back where you started—feeling stuck, heavy, and frustrated. I’m Nicole. I’m not here to give you another meal plan. I’m here to have the real conversation about why we’re actually hiding, numbing out, and shrinking back from the life God gave us. Pull up a chair. On this channel, we’re having a coffee-date honest look at: Why we really numb out (food, doom scrolling, busyness) The "too much" vs. "not enough" battle in our heads Actually finding your identity in Christ instead of just quoting verses about it Breaking the cycle of emotional eating so you can finally be free I’m the friend who isn’t afraid to call you on your crap because I know what you’re capable of. It’s time to stop hiding. Subscribe if you’re ready to stop starting over. Grab your coffee (heavy on the creamer 😉) and let’s go. Questions? Comments? Concerns?

Why do you keep abandoning the things you swear you’re serious about?

The diet. The health goals. The business idea. The habits you promised yourself you’d stick with this time.

In this episode, we’re talking about the real reason so many women fall into the “start over Monday” cycle—and why chasing quick results might actually be the thing keeping you stuck.

For years I believed the problem was that I hadn’t found the right soluti...

If you feel stuck in a cycle of starting over every Monday, emotional eating, or knowing what to eat but not sticking with it… this episode is for you.

For years, I fought meal planning and routines because I didn’t want to feel “boxed in.” But the truth was, no structure kept me stuck—overthinking food choices, giving in when I was tired, and staying in the same place with my weight, my habits, and even our debt.

In this episode, ...

If you’re a Christian woman stuck in emotional eating, food noise, and starting over every Monday… this episode is for you.

This isn’t another diet talk.

It’s about what happened when I realized I wasn’t overweight because of food—I was hiding. People-pleasing. Doubting myself. Ignoring what God was nudging me to do.

When I finally got honest about that… I dropped 13 pounds.

Not from cutting carbs. Not from a new workout plan. From...

I dropped 13 pounds in a month.

Not because I found a better diet. Not because I tracked harder. Not because I finally “got motivated.”

It happened when I stopped doing something I’ve been doing for 25 years.

In this episode, I share what really changed — and why weight loss was never about food for me.

If you’re a Christian woman who:

  • Knows how to lose weight but can’t seem to stick with it

  • Starts strong and fades out

  • Fe...

Most women don’t struggle with their health because they don’t care. They struggle because they don’t believe what they have right now is enough to work with.

In this episode, I share a moment God gave me that reframed how I see health, weight loss, and obedience—through the story of the loaves and fishes. This isn’t about dieting harder or waiting for life to slow down. It’s about stewardship.

We talk about why “I’ll start when th...

Why “it’s not your fault” might actually be keeping you stuck.

In this episode, Nicole talks honestly about a message that’s everywhere in the fitness world right now — “it’s not your fault,” “you’re not lazy,” “you’re not the problem.” While those statements are meant to remove shame, they can also keep us from taking the ownership that leads to real change.

Nicole shares what she’s learning in real time through her own 100-pound ...

Why does weight loss feel so much harder after 40?

If you’re a woman over 40 who wants to lose weight, get healthy, and feel good in her body again — but feels stuck, exhausted, and frustrated — this episode is for you.

In this episode, Nicole shares the real reason weight loss feels harder in midlife, and it has very little to do with metabolism or hormones. She opens up about her own elimination diet struggles, emotional eating, ...

What if the life you keep saying you want… is being blocked by the very thing you won’t let go of?

In this episode, I’m sharing a conversation with my sister that stopped me in my tracks — and completely shifted the way I’ve been thinking about obedience, surrender, and what it actually looks like to walk in what God is calling me to.

Because sometimes it’s not that we don’t want change…

It’s that we’re still holding onto something...

Have you ever known—deep down—what you needed to do for your health… but talked yourself out of it anyway?

In this episode, I’m sharing a very personal wake-up call around weight loss, gut health, and decision fatigue. After years of waffling, overthinking, and second-guessing what “plan” or lifestyle to follow, I finally committed to something I’ve felt called to do for a long time—an elimination diet to address inflammation and o...

The hardest part of change isn’t starting. It’s the moment right after you decide — when your thoughts start negotiating.

That’s where I used to quit every time.

In this episode, I’m talking about the phrase “change is now” and how it helped me stop letting my brain talk me out of the very things I said I wanted.

Just a real conversation about the moment that keeps us stuck — and how to stop handing it the steering wheel.

I spent years stuck in the cycle of "starting over on Monday," only to find myself eating chips over the sink by Wednesday. I knew what to eat to lose weight, but I couldn't find the consistency to actually do it. I thought I had a willpower problem. It turns out, I had an identity problem.

I spent years thinking I was the problem.

That if I could just be “normal” around food — just have a little, just get back on track — things would finally click.

They didn’t.

In this episode, I talk about the realization that changed everything for me: some women do great with flexibility, and some of us do better with clear lines. And when you don’t know which one you are, you’ll keep blaming yourself for something that isn’t actu...

If you’ve ever looked at your life and thought, “Why am I like this?” — this episode is for you.

Lately, I’ve been wrestling with something God’s been pressing on my heart: I didn’t quit… I settled, and it's time to chase excellence. 

I chose comfort and called it peace, rest, "waiting" on God.  I avoided discomfort, lowered my standards, and without realizing it, started opting out of my own life.

In this episode, I share my pers...

I almost talked myself out of recording this episode.

Not because I didn’t have something to say—but because I started overthinking how it should be done. And honestly? That’s exactly what this episode is about.

In this episode, I’m sharing why I changed the name of my podcast and channel to 100lbs Down, what this weight-loss journey represents for me, and why this time isn’t about quick fixes, perfect plans, or doing it the “right...

The world can’t stop talking about Charlie Kirk’s assassination—but what about Erika Kirk’s response? At her husband’s funeral, Erika stood with boldness and forgiveness that left millions asking: How could she forgive the man who took her husband’s life?

Do you ever feel restless, chaotic, and unsure — even when you’re doing everything ‘right’? You’re reading the books, following the advice, trying the proven systems, and still wondering why obedience to God feels so hard.

In this episode, we get real about why Christian women struggle with obedience, second-guessing, and inner chaos. The truth is: you’re not broken, and you’re not failing — but you may be letting other voices grow...

Have you ever poured time, money, and energy into self-help—only to end up more exhausted, more confused, and further from peace?

That’s exactly where I found myself… until God stopped me in my tracks. In this episode, I’m sharing the aha moment He gave me this morning that exposed how self-help has actually been stealing from me: my peace, my joy, and even my empathy for others.

I never thought I’d be the one telling my four little girls their daddy wasn’t coming home. Losing my husband in a tragic accident was my worst fear come true — but in the middle of that storm, God gave me peace that didn’t make sense.

In this episode, I share my Christian testimony of loss and how God prepared me to walk through tragedy with hope:

  • How to trust God when life falls apart.

  • Why surrender led to peace instead o...

Are you a Christian woman who feels stuck, foggy, or like you just can’t follow through—no matter how many times you start again?

This isn’t about laziness. And it’s definitely not just about willpower.

In this episode, we’re diving into 1 Thessalonians 5 and how “being clearheaded” isn’t just about avoiding alcohol... but about the physical, emotional, and spiritual fog that’s created by the foods we constantly run to for comfort.
