5 Uncomfortable Truths That Forced Me To Grow Feb 10, 2025

Show notes

In order to live an exceptional life, you have to be the exception. This episode is all about leaning into the discomfort of being different, embracing awkwardness, and finding power in being misunderstood. Because let’s face it—if you’re trying to fit in, you’re probably shrinking parts of yourself to do it.

We’ll talk about what it really means to stand out, to survive the cringy moments, and to build confidence by realizing you don’t need anyone’s approval. There are no rules—just concepts that help us grow.

Expect raw, unfiltered conversations about resilience, personal choice, and the messy process of defining success on your own terms. No balance required. No need to be understood. Just you, showing up as you are.

If you’re ready to ditch the rulebook, embrace being the odd one out, and start living life unapologetically—you’re in the right place.

Let’s get weird.

How To Build Trust In Yourself (so you can do hard things) Feb 03, 2025

Show notes

Achieving anything is about going from known, what you have currently, to unknown which is what you COULD hypothetically have.

Aka potential.

Potential is always precipitated by an unknown action.

An action you don’t have evidence for.

If you are on a trajectory of success it’s because you have evidence that you take the KIND of action required to succeed.

You will succeed because you have a habit of biting down on the actions of success, of emptying the bag of success and at the bottom is the gold.

Show notes

Shockingly 99% of people will never lose weight and keep it off long term. (Not a real stat, but you get the picture, you’ve probably experienced it)

I used to think everyone was capable of change, but I’ve since realised that not everyone has what it takes. Even if they want it.

There are 6 things that that you MUST have if you want to be in the 1% of people that actually reach their goals. If you have them, you’ll succeed… if not, you simply don’t have what it takes.

The good news? Everyone can change these things TODAY. You just have to identify them and then take the first step.

If you want to become the person who beat the odds and reaches their goal, then give this one a listen and then go and take action.

How To Lose Weight Without Counting Calories — Getting Into A Calorie Deficit For Dummies Dec 02, 2024

Show notes

In this episode, we’re diving into the one thing that completely changed my approach to weight loss—understanding a calorie deficit.

For years, I chased quick fixes like juice cleanses, low-carb diets, and raw food diets and even going hungry, thinking they held the secret to fat loss. Spoiler alert: they didn’t.

Once I realized the science behind a calorie deficit, everything clicked. This episode unpacks what a calorie deficit really is, why it’s the foundation of every successful fat-loss strategy, and how calorie density can make this process simple (and sustainable) without calorie counting.

I'll give you some practical tips to cut through the diet industry confusion, the role of non-starchy veggies, and why ditching things like oil can be a game-changer.

If you're ready for straightforward, science-backed advice to lose weight without feeling hungry or overwhelmed, this episode is for you!

How Marnie Lost 23lbs and Found Food Freedom After Menopause Nov 05, 2024

Show notes

Marnie shares her inspiring journey of shedding 23 lbs and finding true food freedom after menopause.

Two years ago, a glimpse in a store mirror left her shocked—she didn’t recognize the reflection staring back. Despite being a long-time dedicated whole-food, plant-based diet, menopause brought unexpected weight gain, leaving her feeling out of touch with her own body. But rather than succumbing to negative self-talk, Marnie leaned into learning, growth, and mindset shifts.

Through self-compassion and a new approach to eating, she discovered how to feel full while losing weight and maintaining her health.

Embracing a “fail-forward” attitude, she’s replaced judgment with curiosity and transformed her relationship with food and herself. Join us as Marnie talks about the small, proud steps she took, the wins she now looks for, and how self-acceptance became her most powerful tool.
