How to Actually Be In Charge of Your Mood

Hey babe—this episode came straight from an IG Live with Nicole (aka Coco) that was too good not to live forever.

We’re talking about goals, timelines, deadlines, and the sneaky way we let external things decide how we feel about ourselves—the scale, money, progress, and whether we’re on track. And one of my favorite parts of this whole conversation is the idea of being the "label maker."

Nothing actually means anything until we label it. A missed deadline. A number on the scale. A goal you didn’t hit exactly the way you planned. Failure isn’t a fact—it’s a label. And you’re the one holding the label maker.

In this episode, Nicole and I talk about how to keep dreaming and setting goals without using them as a weapon against yourself. How to let timelines be information instead of a verdict. And why the “when” is kind of none of your business… but still helpful as a mile marker.

This conversation is for you if you want to: Stop labeling everything as a failure Learn how to set goals without fear or self-punishment Understand how external metrics quietly hijack your emotions Use timelines as data, not self-worth Practice having your own back—even when things don’t go as planned

You don’t need to stop dreaming to feel safe. You don’t need to stop setting goals to protect yourself. You just need to choose better labels.

And if this episode hits and you want support doing this work in your own life—around weight loss, self-trust, and freedom—come find me at lauraconley.com. We don’t do shame here, babe 💖 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
