Meet Evelyn Franklin, a vibrant and inspiring fitness professional from Life Time in Walnut Creek, CA, whose journey from childhood dance classes to the high-paced world of hospitality eventually led her to her true calling as a personal Trainer and Pilates Instructor. In this episode, Evelyn shares how her background shaped her understanding of discipline, joy, and resilience—key ingredients in the sustainable approach she now brings to fitness. Her energy is contagious, and her insights may just reshape how you think about forming healthy habits.

Evelyn’s philosophy centers around the power of small, consistent changes over drastic transformations. Rather than promoting quick fixes, she champions the idea of “small additions instead of big changes,” a mantra that surfaces repeatedly throughout our conversation. From a simple 15-minute weekly meal prep routine to building better food relationships rooted in energy and mood awareness, Evelyn shows how manageable tweaks can lead to long-term success without the overwhelm.

For anyone feeling stuck or unsure of where to begin, Evelyn offers practical, heartfelt guidance: start with community and connection. Whether it’s joining a gym, finding a coach, listening to a podcast, or partnering with friends, she reminds us that support is key. Her stories of running, practicing Kung Fu, and embracing Pilates highlight a playful, intuitive approach to movement—one that honors your body’s evolving needs. Evelyn leaves us with a powerful message: progress, not perfection, is what builds a truly sustainable and joyful path to wellness.

After experiencing a serious car accident and learning I was pre-diabetic despite maintaining a normal weight, I was forced to reevaluate everything I believed about nutrition and health. For years, I coached clients through emotional eating under the assumption that moderation and stable weight were enough. But my own health journey revealed the limitations of that thinking—our bodies often signal imbalances long before the scale does. This wake-up call pushed me to dive deeper into how food affects us beyond weight, especially as we age.

As a result, The Breakthrough Emotional Eating Podcast is expanding in scope. While emotional eating remains at the heart of what we do, we’ll now explore personalized nutrition with insights from a range of experts in health and fitness. This isn’t about rigid rules or food restrictions—it’s about tuning into your unique biochemistry and learning what truly supports your energy, vitality, and well-being. Whether you're navigating emotional eating, low energy, or seeking a more intuitive approach to food, this new chapter is for you. Follow along on Instagram @BreakthroughEmotionalEating for continued support and connection.
