Show notes

Sharleen shares her inspiring journey of losing 15 lbs, preparing for hip surgery, and finally breaking free from the all-or-nothing mindset that held her back for years.

Through coaching with Lean With Plants, Sharleen discovered simple, practical tools that made the process not only achievable, but sustainable.

With a new sense of confidence, Sharleen now knows the weight she’s lost is gone for good. More importantly, she’s built trust in herself too. Proof that change is possible when the focus shifts from willpower to real behavior-change strategies.

How I Stay Consistent When Life Gets Messy Aug 25, 2025

Show notes

If life feels like an emotional rollercoaster and consistency seems impossible, this one’s for you.

In this episode, I’m talking about what it really means to build habits when everything feels messy, chaotic, and hard.

Spoiler: it’s not about being perfect or having it all figured out — it’s about learning how to show up even when you don’t want to.

I’ll share how I’ve managed to keep moving forward (sometimes to my own surprise!) despite crying, crumbling, and feeling like a hot mess most of the time.

You’ll learn why consistency isn’t about perfection, but about having the right toolkit for the battles that life throws at you.

Here are 15 things I think will help you achieve your goals, and stay consistent even when life is tough!

Think of this as your permission slip to succeed in the middle of the mess — because you don’t need to be calm, collected, or flawless to reach your goals. You just need to know how to “do messy well.”

The Hidden Reason You Keep Ditching Your Diet — How To Set Boundaries And Stop People Pleasing Jul 21, 2025

Show notes

Everyone talks about ‘setting boundaries!” But how important ARE boundaries for fat loss and what do you do when you’re stuck people pleasing in a way that sabotages your goals??

In this episode, we’re flipping the script on what a real boundary actually is (hint: it’s not telling people, “Don’t offer me cake”). You’ll learn:

✅ Why most boundaries backfire and what to do instead

✅ The difference between controlling others vs. empowering yourself

✅ How to create boundaries that work in any situation, even when people have big reactions

✅ Practical examples you can use right now to stick to your plan without guilt

If you’ve ever broken your goals at a party, caved under pressure, or felt frustrated that you can’t “just say no,” this episode will show you why it’s not about willpower, it’s about creating boundaries that actually work.

You’re Not Lazy, Your Systems Just SUCK — how to build habits without willpower Jun 30, 2025

Show notes

I used to think I was lazy… undisciplined… broken.

But the truth? I was just working against myself.

In this episode, I’m sharing the turning point that changed everything:

👉 how eating MORE (yes, more!) helped me stop bingeing

👉 why you don’t need more willpower — you need fewer triggers

👉 how your inputs shape your results

👉 and why discipline actually gets easier when you stop trying to force it.

If you’ve ever made a plan, then bailed…

If you feel like you sabotage yourself again and again…

This episode is going to hit home.

You’re not the problem.

You just need to stop fighting yourself — and start building systems that work with you.

Let’s talk about how.

How Tracy Lost 20 lbs in 12 weeks and Built Habits That LAST… Jun 23, 2025

Show notes

I sat down with Tracy, who lost 20 pounds in just 12 weeks — after years of yo-yo dieting, guilt, and feeling stuck. What changed? Not just the food… but her identity.

She built trust in herself.
She stopped fearing the scale.
She let go of guilt and started living in alignment with her goals.

This conversation dives deep into what happens when you stop trying to be perfect, start using a proven system, and finally get the accountability that actually works.

Tracy’s journey is wildly encouraging and a reminder that real transformation happens when we shift from "all or nothing" to "what’s actually sustainable."

Discipline Is A Muscle Not A Mood — How To Build Mental Toughness Jun 17, 2025

Show notes

Discipline is about doing what you don’t want to do because you know it’s the right.

The person you ARE and who you become through doing hard things paradoxically makes you happier.

Victim hood doesn’t serve us, and I’ve had that tested over the past 4 months.

Once again I’m coming back to delusional optimism.

Wild gratitude and the WORK of being content, regardless of suffering.

A mindset of empowerment in the face of pain is a deliberate act of rebellion, so don’t give up.

You got this.

Keep going.

It’s worth it.

Sam has struggled with her diet for years, even losing 50lb on Herbalife and then gaining it back.

She felt like a failure with her diet because even when she knew what to do, she couldn’t get consistent.
