  • (#481) Why a Calorie Deficit is *NOT* Enough.
    Feb 4 2026

    In this episode of Queen of Pep Talks, Jessica Battle explains why a calorie deficit alone is not enough to create sustainable weight loss for women with a history of binge eating or emotional eating.

    While calorie restriction can lead to short-term weight loss, Jessica breaks down why those results often don’t last when the relationship with food is left unaddressed. She explores how restriction, emotional triggers, and all-or-nothing thinking fuel cycles of bingeing, quitting, and starting over — even when women are doing “everything right” on paper.

    This episode reframes weight loss as more than just calories and highlights the mindset shifts and emotional skills required to make weight loss sustainable without self-sabotage.

    This conversation is for women who want to lose weight and heal their relationship with food — without sacrificing their mental health in the process.

    Rather than pretending to be “okay,” Jessica invites listeners into the raw, unfiltered reality of grief, transition, and emotional unraveling. She speaks to the moments that brought her to her knees, the lessons she never asked to learn, and the profound reminders that emerged in the middle of heartbreak.

    This episode is a tender reminder that being broken doesn’t mean you’ve failed—it means you’ve lived, loved, stretched, and survived. Jessica closes the year by offering a message of hope for anyone walking through their own darkness: the understanding that even in seasons of loss, a new beginning is quietly forming.

    Inside this episode, Jessica shares:

    • The emotional toll of experiencing multiple life-altering losses in one year
    • What it feels like to rebuild when life forces you into a chapter you never asked for
    • How grief reshapes identity, priorities, relationships, and self-perception

  • (#475) You Teach People How to Treat You.
    Dec 3 2025

    In this episode of The Queen of Pep Talks, Jessica Battle breaks down one of the most important principles in self-worth and relationships: you teach people how to treat you. She explores how the standards you hold, the boundaries you honor, and the consistency you show yourself become the blueprint for how others show up in your life.

    Jessica dives into the difference between expectations and standards, why early effort in relationships means nothing without consistency, and how self-betrayal often leads to resentment, disappointment, and feeling unseen. She shares the patterns women fall into—overgiving, people-pleasing, ignoring red flags, or hoping someone will “change”—and teaches listeners how to reclaim their power by embodying the treatment they want to receive.

    With her signature tough love and compassion, Jessica guides listeners through building sustainable self-standards, communicating needs confidently, and choosing relationships that reflect their worth. This episode is perfect for women ready to deepen self-respect, strengthen relationship dynamics, and finally stop accepting the bare minimum.
