The Mindset Shift That Helped Me Lose Half a Stone in 5 Weeks

Have you ever felt like no matter what you do, the weight just won’t budge — and it starts to affect the things you love? That was me not too long ago.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing the real beginning of my journey to losing half a stone in 5 weeks — and it’s not what you might think. It wasn’t about food or exercise at first. It was about mindset.

👉 In this episode, you’ll hear:

• The turning point moment when I knew something had to change

• How peri-menopause weight gain started to impact my running and my confidence

• Why motivation wasn’t enough — and what I did instead

• The simple mindset shift that set me up for lasting results

This is part one of a 2-episode mini-series. Next time, I’ll take you behind the scenes of the practical steps I used — tracking my food, getting serious about sleep, and my simple Rest, Fuel, Move approach.

✨ If today’s episode resonates with you, and you’re ready to start your own 5-week transformation, check out my 5-Week Coaching Program. It’s designed to help you shift your mindset, build simple habits, and finally feel like yourself again. [Insert Link]

Weight gain and cravings during menopause can feel like an uphill battle. Many women are turning to GLP-1 medications like Mounjaro to help—but are they the only option?

In this episode of Menopause and Motherhood, I’ll explain how GLP-1s work, the pros and cons of prescription weight-loss medications, and why they’re becoming so popular with midlife women. Then, I’ll introduce you to a new, natural alternative: Oriflame’s Wellosophy Metabo Boost.

Metabo Boost contains a unique TCI-1 formula that has been shown in vitro to boost GLP-1 naturally, helping reduce cravings, support metabolism, and keep you feeling fuller for longer—without the side effects or the hefty price tag of prescriptions.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• What GLP-1 medications like Mounjaro are and how they work
• Why menopausal women are turning to these drugs
• The benefits and limitations of GLP-1 prescriptions
• How Metabo Boost offers a natural, daily alternative
• How to claim your VIP discount + early access
