Feel Light Mind & Body

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 stress and biology influence decision-making, why resistance is often protective rather than lazy, and how choosing your “hard” intentionally can prevent the harder consequences that build over time. This episode focuses on awareness, nervous system regulation, and values-based decisions that support real life, not perfection. You’ll walk away with: 1. A better understanding of how chronic stress affects your body and energy 2. Insight into why waiting to start often makes change feel harder 3. A clear explanation of “why nots” and how they hold you back 4. A simple, powerful action step to regain momentum without pressure 5. Reassurance that you’re not broken, just under-supported If today’s conversation resonated, Clarenda invites you to take the next step in a supportive, pressure-free way. You can: 1.

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 habits, and ability to lose weight. This conversation is especially relevant for busy, successful women over 40 who know what to do, yet still feel drained, overwhelmed, or stuck during challenging seasons of life. Clarenda shares real client examples and science-based insights to explain why willpower isn’t the problem, and why emotional awareness and nervous system regulation are essential for lasting change. You’ll learn: This episode goes beyond weight loss and speaks to the real-life challenges that shape health choices every day.

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 life and weight loss coach, Clarenda explains why indecision often feels heavier than action, how ignoring early signals creates mental exhaustion, and how proactive support leads to gentler, more sustainable change. You’ll hear reflections on: If you’re tired of starting and stopping, overthinking, or telling yourself you’ll deal with it later, this episode will help you understand what’s really draining your energy and how to take your next right step.
