Radical life and body coaching to uncover your inner wisdom
Where you’ll ditch diet culture, reconnect with what really matters, and unlock your liberated life
It’s time for a major culture shift. Gone are the days of using body dissatisfaction and self-criticism as motivation. Instead, let’s trade it all in for liberation – together.
Here’s the secret…
that diet culture doesn’t want you to know.
When you practice minimizing diet culture’s grip on your head and your heart, you create SO much more space to focus on what truly matters to you.
And the moment you realize that you can have what truly matters to you, without changing your body, the spell is broken. That’s when liberation is yours.
Changing your mind changes everything – and it’s completely possible with support and community.
You don’t need a diet or a “lifestyle change”
This is about refocusing your energy on what matters to you, so life can stop passing you by.
Ok, here’s the deal. Diet culture is a distraction – a giant, cleverly-organized, and deeply-rooted distraction. It’s designed to keep its hooks in you, perpetuate your shame, and keep you exhausted pursuing a goal you can’t possibly achieve.
Have you ever actually arrived at that elusive ideal body destination? No.
But have you found yourself so distracted by thoughts about what and how much you’re eating, how your clothes fit, or how many steps you’ve taken, that you’ve missed important parts of your day? Months? Years?
If your answer is yes, life doesn’t have to keep happening around you.
Until now, you were taught to pour all your energy into “fixing” your body and weight. You’ve tried so hard, worried so much, and hoped with all of your being. Take a breath. You’ve tried hard enough, love, and it’s not your fault.
Instead of fixing, you are capable and worthy of healing. We are all born as embodied beings, and then somewhere along the way the external junk takes over and we disconnect. It’s time to reclaim your body sovereignty and once again trust that you know exactly what you need.
You can reclaim food, your body sovereignty, and your life.
No waiting around – or weight loss – required.
Call to mind something you’ve always wanted to try or do, but haven’t. What do you think you need to do before you can get there? Does it include:
Losing X amount of pounds?
Sticking perfectly to some food plan?
Looking like [insert #beautygoals spokesmodel here] ←psst…it’s Photoshop!
Maybe you think you can’t meet a new intimate partner, go swim in a bathing suit, engage in some physical activity or another, or eat dessert in a restaurant, completely based on perceptions about your weight.
But what if you could do the thing you want or be the person you imagine, without changing a thing about your body or appearance? You absolutely 100% can.
It’s not about looking different – it’s about seeing differently. It’s about taking care of your needs so that you feel safe and free to build the life you’ve always wanted, one that has absolutely nothing to do with a number on a scale.
When you change your mind about yourself and the beliefs you’ve been sold, you learn to take up the space you deserve and start living the life you thought was out of reach.
That’s ultimately where you land when you work with me.
Whether you choose to get personal support or find community through group coaching, changing your mind – and changing your life – is completely within reach.
Curious about coaching (and crushing diet culture)?
Here’s how it feels to begin your liberation.
"Nicole helped me to find ways to cope with my trauma responses.
My biggest takeaway so far has been understanding my trauma responses as much as possible. Moving forward, I feel ready to face and deal with some of my more difficult problems.
I recommend working with Nicole for someone who has some deep trauma that they feels no one else been able to help them cope with or someone who hasn't found someone to help with their healing yet.
I am truly grateful for Nicole and her understanding and ability to help someone like myself who has tried therapy time and time again and feels it hasn't helped."</...

Nicole helped me to focus on the process of making and eating food - to be present to all my senses - rather than think on the caloric intake and how "good or bad" a food was.
My biggest takeaway was that this is a long process, and there are growing pains along the way (I can't be perfect and I need to learn to be ok with that).
Moving forward, I feel ready to discuss my food insecurities with my partner and close friend.Nicole helped me to focus on the process of making and eating food - to be present to all my senses - rather than think on the caloric intake and how "good or bad" a food was.

I’m Nicole Marshall Concha (she/her), your Liberated Life Coach
I’m fat, I’m fierce, and I’m flipping off diet culture, one changed mind at a time.
Like you, I used to think that once I was in a smaller body, I would finally start to feel happy. I was desperately waiting for my life to begin – until I learned to change my mind about what was possible for me, exactly as I am. Now, it’s my passion to help you experience the same thing.
I’m a licensed mental health therapist-turned-coach with lived experience as a fat woman, a mother of two daughters, and a person living with and recovering from anxiety, disordered eating, body image struggles, and grief and loss. (I’m also an all-season hiker and travel-loving vegetarian foodie who is always on the hunt for the best pizza around.)
When we work together, I draw on a holistic variety of tools to support you, including 20 years of experience in counseling, expertise in Health at Every Size®, Body Trust®, and Intuitive Eating, and a passion for social justice.
So let’s cut through the BS together, shall we? Diet culture is an insidious, shapeshifting demon that thrives on sneak attacks and fighting dirty. You will never see any of that catfishing here. Rainbow dragons are my spirit animal and I am ready to slay all day.
I’m so grateful you’re here.
