What does it really take to lose 100+ pounds and keep it off—not for weeks or months, but for over a decade?

In this deeply emotional and inspiring episode, Coach Cory sits down with longtime TFW Sauga student Reena, who shares her raw, honest journey through motherhood, extreme weight gain, personal trauma, self-doubt, and ultimately, lifelong transformation.

From caring for a newborn with major medical challenges, to navigating years of ups and downs, injuries, setbacks, COVID lockdowns, and social pressure—Reena’s story proves that success is not linear, and that true health transformation is built through consistency, community, and belief.

This episode is a must-listen for busy parents, professionals, and anyone who feels like they’ve “failed too many times” to try again.

💡 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
• How Reena lost over 100 pounds while raising two kids and working full-time
• Why walking, simple strength training, and habits beat extreme workouts
• The mental battle of identity, loose skin, and self-worth after massive weight loss
• Why accountability and community matter more than motivation
• How saying “no” to social events accelerated her results
• Why being “selfish” with your health actually makes you a better parent and partner

This episode is proof that you don’t need perfection—you need persistence.
