    Do You Have What It Takes To Lose Weight FOR GOOD — Why 99% Of People Fail

    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)

    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

    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!

    Let’s get into it!

    How Marnie Lost 23lbs and Found Food Freedom After Menopause

    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.

    How To Not Give Up Even When You Hate The Process

    If you've ever found yourself using setbacks as a reason to quit? I've been there too.

    I’m not superhuman, but I’ve found a way to stop quitting when things get tough. Every time I want to give up, I remind myself that quitting would only make me feel worse and stressed. Instead, I’ve learned how to use struggles as growth opportunities.

    In this episode, I’m sharing how I shifted from a mindset of ‘lack’ and ‘victimhood’ to one focused on growth and progress, and how rethinking my core beliefs helped me stay motivated even through tough times and not give up.

    If you're done with feeling stuck and want to keep moving forward—no matter what comes up—this episode is for you. Let’s talk about discomfort, change, and why embracing unease is the real path to growth.

    The One Thing Most Women Get WRONG About Fat Loss

    Understanding the trade-offs in weight loss is key to staying on track and reaching your goals. Often, the focus is on what to do, but we forget to consider what we need to not do.

    Every choice—whether it’s about time, energy, money, or enjoyment—comes with its own cost.

    I’ll share my personal approach to balancing these trade-offs, like simplifying meals to save time for family, and I’ll also discuss common challenges many of us face.

    By recognising and embracing these trade-offs, you can stay focused, realistic, and consistent on your journey to achieving your goals.
