95: GUEST: 5 Mindset Shifts to Shed Shame and Pounds w/ Kelly Thrush

An addicted body on the brink. A liver transplant just in time. And a life rebuilt through small, stubborn, daily choices. Another broken down body and brain. And a life transformed through self compassion, self investment and self love. Now these two humans are here to offer a gift to others suffering. This intro to their free new workbook is for anyone looking to shed shame, self imposed suffering and pounds.  Kelly Thrush joins Coach Sam this week to trace the full arc—from bar culture and denial to end-stage liver failure, four and a half months in the hospital, and the first breath on the other side of a transplant. What followed wasn’t a montage; it was one day at a time, stacking quiet wins: taking seventeen stairs without a handrail, tossing a hidden shooter, learning to run far, and then farther—DNFs included—until a 300‑mile finish line proved what self investment can do.We zoom out from survival to a method you can use. We walk through five core truths (suffering is optional, worthiness is a given, you are a statistical miracle, impermanence is real, everything is interconnected) and turn them into practice with five grounded strategies: clear the decks, build your A‑Team, replace hope with a plan, stack wins, and choose progress over perfection. Then we tighten the bolts with mindset shifts that last—move from “I can’t” to “I’m learning how,” trade punishment for nourishment, turn shame into empowerment, and ditch quick fixes for a sustainable lifestyle. This is where sobriety tools, sustainable weight loss, stress reduction, and mental health meet: biology aligned with behavior, community aligned with accountability.If you’re an addict, sober‑curious, rebuilding after a physical or mental health break down, or just tired of being stuck, you’ll hear practical steps and zero judgment. We also launch a free workbook—The Five Truths, The Five Strategies, The Five Mindset Shifts to Shed Shame and Pounds—to help you put this into action today.
