Feel Light Mind & Body

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
• decision f...

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 right now. We...

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 forward, but also wanting doubt to disappear first.

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 what actually needs to sh...

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 (especially at certain times of day)
• W...

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 earlier a...

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, stuck in ...

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. What holds them back isn’t a lack of knowledge, it’...

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 powerful connection be...

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 interacts with the...

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 stress and biology influence decision-makin...

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, eating...

150 - Most women don’t suddenly feel stuck…they arrive there slowly. A nudge ignored. A decision postponed. A quiet sense that something needs attention, but not today.

In this episode of the Feel Light Mind and Body podcast, Clarenda Price explores the exhausting in-between space she calls the Miserable Maybe where indecision quietly drains energy, clarity, and confidence.

Drawing on her background as a former nurse and certified li...

149 - As the year ends, do you feel like you’ve been hoping and coping, just getting by, or have you been being and doing?
