Today I wanted to get a new episode out to you, but I'm in the process of moving and will be back next week with a new episode. For now, since it's still the beginning of the year and people are looking at starting fresh, losing weight and feeling better about themselves, I thought I would replay my 5th episode, which is on my weight loss journey. I talk about how my weight was affecting my health and had gotten out of control. \n\nSo most of my life I was in great health and I really did not struggle with my weight very much. Honestly, I grew up, I was, you know, one of those kids that I was very involved in dance and sports and very, very active. And so I was fortunate, I have great genetics and between that, and being really active and having a Mom who was really blessed to stay home with us and cooked great meals, healthy meals I learned to eat pretty well. But when I got divorced in 2017, I got in some really unhealthy habits. I was 40 plus pounds overweight over what I had been. While I was at a networking event, I ran into a health coach and she was explaining what she did. I was like, I need you please help me. And I signed up for a program that night. That started my health journey in mid September of 2020. Six months later, I had dropped 40 pounds. And now I integrated the health coaching program that I lost weight on into my coaching practice so that I can help people that are struggling with their health.\n\nReady to hear more? Let's go..."}
