Feel Light Mind & Body

169 - After visiting my daughter recently, I found myself thinking about a conversation we recorded together a few years ago. Listening back, I realized the topics are just as relevant today as they were then, so I wanted to share it with you again.

In this episode, Bri and I talk about how our relationship with food develops, the influence of the people around us, food shaming, listening to our bodies, exercise versus active living...

168 - What do your children, grandchildren, or the younger people in your life notice about the way you care for yourself?

In this episode, I share several conversations that challenged the way I think about healthy aging, independence, and the example we set for those who are watching us. Together, we'll explore why more young adults are thinking ahead about their health, what many women in midlife are hoping for as they grow older...

167 - Should you weigh yourself the day after vacation?

It's a question I hear often, and it's one I'm asking myself as I prepare for a trip to Toronto to spend time with my daughter.

In this episode, I share the thought process behind my own decision, along with some practical things that influence the number on the scale after travel, including dehydration, sodium, sleep loss, and water retention.

We'll also talk about the mindset s...

166 - Have you ever noticed that many of the things you're most proud of required effort, commitment, patience, and growth?

Yet when it comes to ourselves, we often think self-love should feel easy.

In this episode, Clarenda challenges that idea and offers a different perspective. One that connects self-love with self-respect, self-honouring, and a willingness to grow into the person you want to become.

From weight loss and healthy ag...

165 - What if some of the most important forms of self-care aren't the ones we usually think about?

In this episode, I share 7 powerful ways to support your health, energy, mindset, and well-being that go far beyond massages and bubble baths.

We'll talk about things like protecting your sleep, building support, stepping outside your comfort zone, focusing on what you can control, solving root problems, and recognizing when your nervo...

164 - Many women don’t actually enjoy the ice cream, brownie, or summer treat nearly as much as they thought they would because their brain is arguing with them the entire time.

In this episode, Clarenda talks about the mental spiral that often follows food guilt and why the real exhaustion is often coming from the noise in our mind, not the food itself.

Inside this conversation:
• why summer can feel defeating when you&rsqu...

163 - Summer has a way of slowly pulling women away from the habits that help them feel their best. Less structure, more social events, emotional eating, exhaustion, “I don’t feel like cooking” days, and eventually the feeling of needing to “get back on track” again.

In Episode 163: Enjoy Summer Without Starting Over in September, Clarenda talks about the mental and emotional side of summer health habit...

162 - When you’re the one everyone leans on, it’s easy to slowly disappear from your own priority list.

In Episode 162 of the Feel Light Mind & Body Podcast, I sit down with Registered Nurse, Caregiving Consultant, and Care Navigator Karen Lake for an honest conversation about caregiving, burnout, emotional overload, and the pressure so many women quietly carry.

We talk about:
• caregiver burnout and chronic stress...

161 - Have you noticed how your body feels when your mind won’t settle?

Tense, a drop in energy, and the strain of the mental back-and-forth…

In this episode, I talk about how ongoing worry affects your body, not just your thoughts. When your system stays on alert, it can influence your sleep, digestion, energy, and even your ability to follow through on the things you care about.

I also share why this feels more intense ...

160 - You know that feeling when you’ve been doing so well… and then you “mess up”?

Doubt creeps in and you start wondering if you’ll ever be able to get the pounds off. You might even think, “Maybe it’s just not possible for me at this age and stage of life.” That can feel discouraging.

In this episode, I share a client conversation that highlights a common pattern: wanting to move fo...

159 - What happens after the food noise quiets down?

I focus on the part that tends to get overlooked when it comes to GLP-1s and weight loss in general. Because while appetite and cravings can change… the moments that used to lead you to food are still there: that end-of-day feeling, the stress that lingers, that “I just want something” pull.

We talk about why those patterns don’t automatically go away, and ...

158 - Food noise isn’t just about hunger. It’s the ongoing conversation in your mind around food… the pull, the back and forth, and the mental drain that comes with it.

In this episode, I take a closer look at what’s really driving that experience and how GLP-1 medications are changing the conversation around weight loss.

You’ll hear a balanced perspective on:

• Why food noise can feel so strong (espec...

157 - Complaining can feel like a quick release, but it often lowers your energy and keeps your body in a stress response longer than you realize.

In Episode 157, I share a simple way to break the complaining habit using the STOP method. You’ll see how your thoughts trigger the pattern, how it carries through your day, and how it shows up in your routines and relationships.

This episode gives you a practical way to catch it ear...

156 - Spring is often associated with cleaning out closets and tackling home projects. But before organizing your physical space, what if you paused to reset something even more important…your energy?

In this episode, Clarenda shares three questions that can help you recognize what may be draining your energy and what could restore it. Many capable women are working hard in many areas of life yet still feel mentally tired, st...

155 - What if the thing you’re most afraid of… is actually the doorway to your best version yet?

In this episode, I talk about a concept called “Failure Gold” - the insight and growth that only becomes available after taking imperfect action. 

Many of the women I work with aren’t lacking information. They’re capable. They’ve read the books. Listened to the podcasts. Tried the plans. Wha...

154 - If you feel wired and tired, emotionally stretched thin, or stuck in “always on” mode, this episode explores a practical and often overlooked tool: your sense of smell.

I’m joined by Jennifer Pressimone, Clinical Aromatherapist and Holistic Health Educator, to discuss how scent interacts with the limbic brain and nervous system. We talk about emotional regulation, habit patterns, stress recovery, and the powe...

153 - Chronic inflammation often isn’t obvious. It builds quietly over time and can influence how your body feels in ways that don’t always make sense at first.

In this episode of the Feel Light Mind & Body podcast, Clarenda explores chronic inflammation from a whole-body perspective. Rather than focusing on symptoms alone, the conversation looks at how inflammation develops, what tends to drive it, and how it intera...

152 - If you’re a woman over 40 who feels exhausted, overwhelmed, or stuck in “I’ll deal with it later” mode, this episode offers clarity and relief.

In Episode 152 of the Feel Light Mind & Body podcast, Clarenda Price explains why overriding your body’s signals leads to burnout, weight gain, poor sleep, and low energy, and why the answer isn’t more discipline or force.

You’ll learn how s...

151 - Some of the biggest drains on your energy don’t come from being busy or lacking discipline. They come from emotional patterns you were never taught how to recognize or work with.

In this episode of the Feel Light Mind and Body podcast, Clarenda Price, former Registered Nurse and Certified Life & Weight Loss Coach, explores how emotions, expectations, and unexamined patterns quietly affect your energy, stress levels, ...
