Grandmothers are special, and mine sure was.

A few weeks ago we lost my grandmother at age 90, and I have found myself reflecting on so much since then.

My grandmother was a pillar in our family, and she is where I get so much of my love and passion for food.

Now more than ever, I am aware of where my stance on food freedom and weight loss comes from and share the depths and reasoning behind that on today’s episode.

As much as I hope you love this episode and maybe see some of your own memories in mine, this episode is really meant to be a heart pour to honor my grandmother and how she impacted me. 🕊️

Isn’t it crazy how when you least expect it, you can be exposed to something that radically changes your life?

At the end of December, I was in a season of burnout, holiday overwhelm, and health scares... and then in January, I went to Austin, Texas, for work, and it changed everything.

Today I am talking about how what I thought was going to be a normal "business trip" actually changed my mental health, physical health and way I manage my entire life.

This one act of obedience in my life has powerfully changed me for the better this year, and I believe what I experienced is the thing everyone needs for a better life.

We have a special episode today! Stacy, our Team Dietitian and I, chat with one of our PFN Plus graduates, Claire Bush on her journey to losing 25 pounds!

As a newly empty nester, Claire decided to put more focus on self-care and while she has lost the weight, she has gained so much more!

Claire shares with us her insight on the importance of:

• stopping comparison,
• finding a balance for your own lifestyle,
• self-love,
• and grace

...in lasting and enjoyable weight loss.

We dive in on the details of Claire's journey to overcoming many struggles that come with weight loss and how she began embracing food freedom and letting go of perfection.

Listen in to this episode for some major encouragement, as Claire’s story reminds us to stay committed and be kind to ourselves as we work towards our goals.
