Episode 17: Dr. Allysha Maragh-Bass – Her 150 lb Weight Loss Journey

Today I’m joined by the inspiring Dr. Allysha Maragh-Bass, a wellness and leadership coach with a background as a behavioral scientist and professor.   Allysha reached out to share her story of losing 150 pounds — not once, but twice — and how that transformation led her to the coaching work she does today 🌟 She opens up about finding the “right way” to lose weight for her, what caused her to boomerang after the first time, and the mental and emotional challenges that come with transformation. 🤍   We dive into topics like: 💡 Body dysmorphia and societal treatment around weight 💡 Why shows like The Biggest Loser set unrealistic expectations 💡 How weight loss, leadership skills, and personal growth intersect   Today she coach women leaders, and in the show she speaks about how leadership skills like communication, boundary-setting, and stress management translate to all areas of our lives. ✨   This conversation is a powerful reminder that wellness isn’t optional. If you’re navigating your own health journey or simply looking for inspiration to improve your wellbeing, this episode is for you. 💛   🔗 Connect with Allysha on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/acmaragh/ 📚 Book Mentioned: The Body Keeps the Score by Dr. Bessel van der Kolk   If you are enjoying these shows, please feel free to follow, share, and rate the “With Love and Aloha Podcast” 🎧🩵✨ and give @love_and_aloha_life a follow on IG :)
