This week’s podcast episode is a freaking gem.
You just have GOT to listen.
I talked with my client GILLIANNE (love you Gillianne!)
CHECK THIS OUT:
She’s a board-certified radiation oncologist.
She’s a certified life coach.
She’s a business owner & entrepreneur.
She’s a mom of two.
Clearly, she’s a freaking BOSS.
And yet… When it came to her weight and her relationship with food she felt COMPLETELY STUCK.
Even though she was SO close to giving up on losing the 20 pounds she had been struggling to lose for YEARS, she decided it was finally time for making this venture ENJOYABLE and actually having A-grade support - so she took a leap of faith in herself by signing up for my weight loss coaching program.
GILLIANNE LOST 23 POUNDS in THE LAST 10 Program (...and is still losing weight!)
Not only that, but she could barely believe how EASY it was.
She even said to me at one point: ‘Brenda, this is so easy I feel like I’m cheating’
She actually ENJOYED the process and had a GOOD TIME losing the weight. (...whaaat?!?! Yep. that’s possible my friend).
Check this out, I get emails ALL THE TIME saying things like:
‘Brenda I would LOVE to do your program. I've been struggling with my weight my entire life, but I’m just too busy with work, and I’m a mom and I have so many things going on. I just don’t think I can do this right now, maybe down the road when things calm down a bit’...
SPOILER ALERT:
Things aren’t gonna ‘calm down’- probably, ever.
The ‘kids’ will be here for a while, in fact - you’re gonna be their ‘mom’ FOREVER.
Also, my guess is your retirement isn’t happening anytime soon...
AND there will ALWAYS be - ‘things going on’
If you’ve been struggling with your weight and with food for basically your entire life, SOMETHING IS GONNA HAVE TO CHANGE.
You’re gonna have to make ‘the call’ that even though YES, YOU ARE A VERY BUSY WOMAN with tons on your plate-
YOU MATTER.
YOUR HAPPINESS MATTERS.
YOUR PERSONAL GOALS MATTER.
BEING ABLE TO FEEL GOOD IN & ENJOY YOUR BODY IN THIS LIFETIME, MATTERS.
THE VISION YOU HAVE FOR YOUR LIFE, MATTERS.
I think we can all agree it’s pretty damn unlikely Gillianne was ‘sitting around’ twiddling her thumbs and for that reason was able to lose weight... (NOPE!)
Gillianne was able to lose 23 pounds that FELT IMPOSSIBLE (umm did I mentioned she even had some Thyroid issues going on…) and she did so WHILE LIVING HER LIFE IN FULL TECHNICOLOR.
In fact, one of Gillianne’s MOST favorite things about the program was this:
‘What I was not expecting from this program was FINALLY LEARNING HOW TO UNCONDITIONALLY LOVE MYSELF and be my own best friend. I HAVE LOTS TO SAY ABOUT THIS. I could go on, and on and on. BEST. PROGRAM. EVER.’
If you ask me, THAT right there is absolutely priceless.
And guess what? It required a decision to do SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
IT REQUIRED THE DECISION that no matter how many responsibilities and things were on her plate, SHE WAS A TOP PRIORITY.
Listen to this week's episode and get ready to feel absolutely UNSTOPPABLE and incredibly inspired.
Also, grab a pen and paper and get ready to take some notes from Gillianne because she shares SO MUCH about how she made this possible for herself EVEN AS a busy physician, mom, entrepreneur AND MORE...
If Gillianne could do it, YOU CAN TOO.**
The deadline to enroll in THE LAST 10 Program is this Thursday, October 28th @ 11:59pm.
UPCOMING PROGRAM START DATE: Monday, November 1st
Here’s how it goes down:
You promise yourself you’re not gonna eat ‘x’ food (ie. the bread from the bread basket out at dinner)...
And then the bread arrives, and you have some.
You think to yourself:
‘Dammit, what’s wrong with me?! I said I wasn’t gonna have any. How am I ever gonna lose this weight? UGHhh. Well, I already messed up, so maybe I’ll just say eff-it - and start on Monday’...
Typically, what ensues is a whole lot of eating. A whole lotta eating, even past the point of what actually feels good for you in your body. (aka: You eat until you feel stuffed. And awful. I know because I used to do the exact same thing).
THIS IS WHAT I LOVINGLY REFER TO AS THE ‘I ALREADY MESSED UP’ PHENOMENON.
(yes, trust me. It’s a thing. But also, you can totally de-condition it!)
One of the MOST common questions I get is - Brenda ‘HOW DO I STOP OVEREATING AND SABOTAGING MY GOALS?!’
In order to ‘stop’ it’s important to first understand what’s causing this...
THE CAUSE OF OVEREATING IN THIS WAY IS: ALL-OR-NOTHING THINKING.
On todays’ episode I break this down in a brand new way, and I also invite you into a new and upgraded possibility for your weight loss AND your life:
LOVE, AS THE NEW BASELINE FOR DECISION-MAKING.
Now, listen- before I get any eye rolls… ; )
And I know, I know this may initially sound way too over-simplified and cheesy, let me tell you: THIS IS THE MOST PRACTICAL AND EFFECTIVE THING YOU CAN DO.
It’s also essential for you to know that your current baseline for decision making is PERFECTIONISM and it’s JUST. NOT. WORKING.
I’M INVITING YOU TODAY INTO A COMPLETELY NEW POSSIBILITY.
*If you are willing to make this one upgrade (from perfectionism as your baseline, to LOVE as your new baseline) ...
Get ready to be done with the struggle.
Get ready to be done with the sabotage.
Get ready to be done with the ‘eff-it’ moments and overeating.
Get ready for SO MUCH MORE LOVE for yourself & your body AND those next-level results.
You do NOT wanna miss this one.

Let me paint a picture…
You end your day feeling completely, absolutely depleted.
You end your day feeling like 110% of you has been given to everything and everyone else, and you’ve got nothing left for you.Then, enter food... (hello, late night eating!)Food then becomes that ‘go to’.
It feels like the one thing you ‘get to enjoy’.
It feels like the one time of the day where it’s ‘time for me’.
But if you asked most women, they wouldn’t tell you that THIS is what they wanted for their life...
They wouldn’t tell you that they wanted to feel completely depleted day-after-day, living their life in a way that the only ‘thing’ to enjoy, the only ‘time’ to enjoy would have become a moment with food, at the end of the day on the couch.
Today's podcast episode concept: TAKING CENTER STAGE, it is an invitation to reclaim and restate your position in your life- as being one where you’re not just getting the crumbs of yourself at the end of the day.
It's YOUR LIFE AFTER ALL... right?
Our lives are NOT dress rehearsals. This is it.
And IT MATTERS FOR YOU TO TAKE CENTER STAGE.
This episode is for any woman that’s ever felt like there’s no time for you. That’s ever felt like you can’t even have a moment to yourself. (special shout out to the moms!)
This episode is for any woman that’s ever believed that you can’t do this weight loss thing, that it’s not possible for you, or that you don’t even deserve it.
In this episode you’re gonna learn exactly what to do when your brain wants to tell you that:
- you can’t lose the weight you want to lose
- that you’re not capable of changing the habits you want to change
- that you’re not capable of experiencing emotions without going to food/emotionally eating
- that it’s impossible to achieve the kinds of results you’re wanting to create
- that you don’t deserve having what you want, or Taking Center Stage
Your brain was simply misinformed.
We’re gonna re-educate it. LISTEN NOW
