Nourish with Sarah - Holistic Wellness & More
You're "good" all day, and then 9pm happens. If that loop sounds familiar, you're in the right place.
Nourish with Sarah is the podcast for high-achieving women who want to stop emotional eating and lose weight sustainably, without another diet, tracker, or Monday restart. Sarah Aufdenblatten is a certified health coach and nutritionist (and currently completing her master's in nutrition and integrative health) who spent years in the binge-restrict cycle herself. Now she teaches the way out: nervous system safety first, sustainable habits second, and a relationship with food that finally feels quiet.
Expect short, honest episodes on emotional eating, sustainable weight loss, wellness like hormone and gut health, and the identity shift that makes change stick. No protocols, no perfection. Just real tools and the science of why they work.
New episodes weekly. Start with the free 14-Day Nourished Reset.

the thing you're using as motivation is what's keeping you stuck
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
"You're such a failure. Why do you always do this? You're never going to make it."
That was the voice in my head after I overate. And I genuinely believed that voice was helping me. That if I just felt bad enough about it, I'd do better next time.
Here's what I know now: that voice wasn't keeping me in check. It was keeping me stuck.
Because you cannot heal in an environment of self-attack. And you absolutely cannot hate yourself into a body you love.
This episode is about self-compassion, and I know what you're thinking. But I promise this is not a just-be-nice-to-yourself kind of episode. Real self-compassion is uncomfortable, confronting, and it's one of the most important shifts in my entire healing journey.
We cover:
- Why shame never worked as a motivator (and what it was actually doing to your nervous system)
- The three components of self-compassion
- Why self-compassion and wanting to change your body are not opposites
- The difference between self-compassion and self-indulgence (because they are not the same thing)
- Four practical tools to use in the hard moments: the pause, the friend script, getting curious instead of critical, and shortening your recovery window
And the key reframe: you're not a failure who keeps messing up. You're someone who is still learning. Those are completely different identities.
If the way you talk to yourself after a hard moment with food might be part of what's keeping the cycle going, this episode is for you.
