You’re smart. You’re successful. And yet… you still feel stuck in your head—spinning about food, control, self-doubt, and keeping everyone else happy.

This show isn’t just about food. It’s about self-trust, confidence, and breaking the habit of performing on the outside while struggling on the inside.

The Renae Saager Show is for high-functioning women who are tired of spiraling, done with people-pleasing, and ready to stop living a double life—for good.

I’m Renae Saager—mindset coach, speaker, and straight-shooter. If you’re craving honest conversations, sharp insights, and actual shifts (not just “go journal about it” advice), you’re in the right place.
