Isn't She Powerful
Welcome to the Isn’t She Powerful Podcast! My name is Laura Banks and I am the voice behind Isn’t She Powerful and the founder of the B.Healthy Lifestyle.
Do you want to lose weight and finally begin feeling good in your body? You’re tired of looking at pictures of yourself and thinking “something’s gotta give, that is not cute.” Maybe you’ve tried all of the diets and nothing sticks and at this point you’re scared to start something new because you might fail just like you did all of the other times. Maybe you even feel like you need a friend in your corner to hold your hand through the changes you want to make so that you can make sure this time is different, this time you reach your goals while still doing and eating all of the things you love most!
If yes, Isn’t She Powerful is the podcast for you!
I help busy, working women (teachers, moms, nurses, lawyers, etc) who are new to the health and wellness space develop sustainable healthy habits so that they can lose weight and feel great in their clothes without ever going on a diet again.
Inside this show, you’ll learn how to eat healthy meals without giving up all of the foods you love, like sweets or fast food. You’ll gain habits for sustainable, enjoyable exercise. I’ll teach you how to get great sleep, hit your water goal, and manage your stress in a way that feels good for you.
And the best part? It won’t be just me! I am bringing all of my favorite health and wellness besties to the show so that you can really make the most of our time together each week.
This podcast and my health coaching programs are a passion project for me because of my history with health and weight loss. I grew up eating the standard American diet and by the time I graduated college, I was living with some very unhealthy habits. The biggest problem for me, however, was that I didn’t know at all how to actually live a healthy life. I thought I had to slash my calories, workout all the time, and never eat things that I enjoyed ever again.
Now I spend my days teaching women how to make healthy living sustainable and enjoyable.

When Doctors Blame Weight Instead of Listening: Jenn Clarke's Story
Have you ever felt dismissed or shamed by a doctor simply because of your weight?
In this powerful episode of Isn't She Powerful, host Laura sits down with a former Seismic Shift client to unpack her emotional journey through years of being ignored and misdiagnosed by the medical system.
Despite struggling with real, persistent health symptoms, Jenn was repeatedly told that weight loss was the only solution. Her doctor pushed weight loss medication—without digging into the deeper issues that were truly affecting her health. These experiences led her to develop a deep mistrust in doctors, especially those who focused more on her body size than her actual wellbeing.
In their conversation, Laura and Jenn explore:
- How weight stigma in healthcare delayed her healing
- The emotional toll of medical gaslighting and being dismissed
- What it felt like to be blamed for symptoms instead of believed
- The mindset shifts that helped her rebuild trust in herself
- How Seismic Shift gave her the tools to reconnect with her body, advocate for her needs, and finally feel seen
This episode is for anyone who has ever:
- Felt unheard or judged in a doctor’s office
- Been offered a quick fix instead of a real solution
- Struggled with body image after repeated medical shame
- Wanted to approach health from a more empowered, holistic place
