"I don't think there's been one day that I haven't remembered that phrase."

Angela was talking about her compelling reason: "Me first out of love."

That ONE thought—practiced daily for three years—transformed everything.

Not just her weight (though she lost 30+ pounds).

Not just her eating (though she now enjoys treats without guilt).

Her entire life changed.

New career. New home. New relationship with herself. It's never been about the food.

The food is just the door you walk through to find yourself again.

Three years ago, Angela would've eaten her mom's peanut butter fudge with guilt. Now? She calls it "a little piece of heaven" and actually enjoys every bite without the emotional baggage.

The difference isn't the fudge—it's how she thinks about herself.

Three years ago, Angela finished working with me.

I let my butterfly go, hoping for the best. Then she sent me a message that made me cry.

"Working with you was one of the greatest joys I've experienced from a personal development perspective."

But here's what got me—it wasn't about the 30+ pounds she lost.

It was about how she finally learned to put herself first. How she changed careers from hospice to oncology because she wanted to teach people how to LIVE, not just how to die. How she moved into a new home in nature. How she now eats her mom's peanut butter fudge with pure joy and zero guilt.

The weight? That was just the side effect of becoming her own best friend.

In this episode, Angela shares what life looks like three years after our work together. And honestly, it's better than I could have imagined.

I see you scrolling through before-and-after photos, wondering if you'll ever be the "after."

Can I tell you something?

You're not a "before."

You're a woman who's survived 100% of her hardest days. Who's been putting everyone else first for decades. Who's been told her whole life that her worth is tied to a number on a scale.

And you're finally ready to question that story.

That's not a "before." That's courage.

The transformation isn't from Point A to Point B.

It's from treating yourself like you're last on the list... to treating yourself like you're your own best friend.

The weight? That's just what happens when you finally believe you deserve your own love first.

You're already worthy. The work is just remembering that.

So many of you tell me you eat at night when you're not even hungry. But if you're not hungry, then what are you actually feeding?

So many women tell me they "lose it" at night. They do great all day and then the evening hits and suddenly they're in the kitchen eating when they're not even hungry.

If this is you, these four slides might change how you see nighttime eating. It's not about willpower. It's about understanding what's really going on.

Swipe through and let me know which one hits home for you.

We're talking about something that happens to so many of you every single night. You're not hungry, but you're eating anyway. And when I ask my clients what they're feeling, a lot of them say "bored."

Here's what I want you to know: boredom is not a food group. You can't eat it away. You can only feel it. And when you actually let yourself feel it instead of filling it with food, that's when something shifts.

This episode walks you through how to recognize what you're really feeling at night and what to do about it (without reaching for the kitchen).

Your brain doesn't respond to punishment.

It responds to pleasure.

So every time you force yourself to eat "perfectly," drag yourself to the gym when you're exhausted, or white-knuckle your way through another restrictive plan... you're literally working against your own biology.

What if instead of asking "What should I do?" you started asking "What would feel good right now?"

Not in a reckless, throw-all-caution-to-the-wind way. But in a "my body is asking for vegetables and a walk because that genuinely sounds good" kind of way.

When you come back to what feels good—not what you think you should do—that's when the real transformation happens.

What's one thing that would genuinely feel good to your body today?

Your body isn't broken.

It's not sabotaging you when you want the cake. It's not failing you when you skip the workout.

It's communicating.

And after years of dieting and restriction and "shoulds"... maybe it's time we actually listened.

Because when you do? When do you really tune in? Your body will tell you exactly what it needs.

Sometimes that's rest. Sometimes that's movement. Sometimes it's chicken and vegetables because that's what sounds good.

Not because you have to. Because you want to.

That's the difference.

You're not supposed to be perfect. You're supposed to listen. After 30+ years of working with women in menopause, I can tell you the ones who stay healthy aren't the ones who never slip up. They're the ones who know how to hear their bodies asking for help.
