Read MoreHey there. At some point in your life, you’ve probably placed someone else’s opinion above your own. Maybe it was something they said, did or perhaps it was a pattern of behavior you couldn’t escape. Without realizing it, you allowed their opinions to dictate how you lived.

Read MoreHey there. In the weight loss space “and in life in general” you hear people talk about distancing themselves from their "old self." It’s like we’re trained to believe the past version of us holds no value. This mindset, reinforced by societal expectations, contributes to internal turmoil for so many people.

Read MoreHey there. Let me ask you something…what are you good at?
Read MoreHey there. When you first start taking action, it’s easy to feel invisible. You might wonder if anyone notices the effort you’re putting in or if your work is making an impact. In those early stages, few, if any, people will pay attention. But here’s the truth: when you stick with it, keep showing up, and continue to put in the work, things begin to shift.
