In this episode of This Is My Journey, we look beyond the physical and dive into the mental side of transformation.

I’m joined by Dr Lucy Harvey, a Clinical Psychologist with over 15 years’ experience specialising in eating behaviour, mindset and behaviour change. Together, we explore the emotional realities of being on a GLP-1 journey:

🧠 Why identity shifts can feel so overwhelming
🧠 How guilt, shame, and “secret jabbers” show up
🧠 The role of family, friends & social media in shaping confidence
🧠 Practical tools for self-compassion and long-term success

If your body feels like it’s changing faster than your head can keep up, this episode is for you.

In this episode, we’re diving into the cultural side of transformation. For many of us, this isn’t just a physical journey.... it’s about navigating identity, family expectations, and stigma that can make change even harder.

Rue joins me to share her experience of blending her Zimbabwean heritage, traditional foods, and family life with her GLP-1 journey and how she found confidence along the way.
