On today's episode, I'm chatting with Alyssa, who lost 20 pounds by finally putting herself first — not through restriction or perfection, but by making simple, realistic changes that actually fit into her life.

If you're in a season of survival right now or navigating a major life transition… and you're tired of feeling uncomfortable in your skin while everyone else's needs come before your own, Alyssa's story is going to speak right to you.

After years of surviving, sacrificing, and pushing her own needs to the bottom of the list, Alyssa decided something had to change. Her journey is raw, relatable, and such an important reminder that when you start caring for yourself, everything else gets better.

Inside the episode, Alyssa shares:

✅ The simple, doable tweaks that boosted her energy, confidence, and weight loss results without giving up travel, flexibility, or the foods she loves

✅ How she ditched keto and the dieting rules for good and finally started building real momentum that yielded incredible results

✅ Why learning what actually matters for fat loss helped her create lasting progress

✅ What breaking old patterns has meant for her as a mother and her daughter as she heads off to college

✅ How shifting out of survival mode completely changed the trajectory of her health and life

By the end of this episode, you'll walk away with a clear understanding of how to begin seeing progress and where you can start… even if you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or stuck.

On today's episode, I'm joined by one of my 1:1 coaching clients, Allison, who's sharing how she broke through her plateau and lost the last 10 pounds — not by pushing harder, but by doing less.

It sounds counterintuitive, but "less" can actually be the key to better fat loss. When you're stuck, it's rarely about motivation or effort. More often, your effort is solid… but your plan isn't intentionally targeting what's truly holding you back.

In the episode, Allison opens up about:

✔️ What she did to lose the first 10 pounds postpartum versus the last 10 pounds on her journey, and what had to shift.

✔️ Why intentionality matters more than intensity for body fat loss.

✔️ Simple but intentional shifts she made to make weight loss easier in the busiest season of her life (as a mom, wife and successful businesswoman).

✔️ How she went from 60-hour workweeks, two kids under five, frequent travel, and total burnout to losing weight faster than she expected with shorter workouts, simpler meals, and way more flexibility than she believed was "allowed."

By the end of this episode, you'll walk away with a calmer, more grounded perspective on what it really takes to lose the last bit of weight and why the strategy that gets you started isn't always the strategy that gets you to the finish line.
