On today's episode, I'm chatting with Alyssa, who lost 20 pounds by finally putting herself first — not through restriction or perfection, but by making simple, realistic changes that actually fit into her life.
If you're in a season of survival right now or navigating a major life transition… and you're tired of feeling uncomfortable in your skin while everyone else's needs come before your own, Alyssa's story is going to speak right to you.
After years of surviving, sacrificing, and pushing her own needs to the bottom of the list, Alyssa decided something had to change. Her journey is raw, relatable, and such an important reminder that when you start caring for yourself, everything else gets better.
Inside the episode, Alyssa shares:
✅ The simple, doable tweaks that boosted her energy, confidence, and weight loss results without giving up travel, flexibility, or the foods she loves
✅ How she ditched keto and the dieting rules for good and finally started building real momentum that yielded incredible results
✅ Why learning what actually matters for fat loss helped her create lasting progress
✅ What breaking old patterns has meant for her as a mother and her daughter as she heads off to college
✅ How shifting out of survival mode completely changed the trajectory of her health and life
By the end of this episode, you'll walk away with a clear understanding of how to begin seeing progress and where you can start… even if you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or stuck.
