Episode Description

Our guest this week is international mindset coach, Suzanne Culberg who transforms bodies and minds. She is also a speaker and author of The Beginning is Sh*t, an unapologetic weightloss memoir.

Suzanne believes women often gain weight because they give too much to others. They over eat because they over give. Suzanne’s passion for helping women is fueled by her own weight loss journey, going from 150kg (330lbs) to maintaining the healthy 72kg (158lbs) she is now.

Suzanne helps her clients deal with negative patterns of behaviour, build confidence, and create lasting change, like she has experienced with her own incredible body transformation.

Suzanne is a Certified Practitioner of Neuro Linguistic programming (NLP) and holds a Bachelor of Medical Science (Honours). Suzanne also has Certificates III and IV in Fitness, and is a Certified Sacred Depths Practitioner.

Suzanne lives in Sydney, Australia with her husband Jeremy and her two young children who keep her both busy and entertained. When she’s not coaching her clients, running her programs, sharing her latest wisdom on Facebook Live, podcasting or writing her popular newsletter, she can be found reading, enjoying Diamond Dotz, or burlesque dancing. She is also a big fan of Yoga.

Key Takeaways

Giving and receiving are like inhaling and exhaling. You can't have one without the other. People who overgive end up overconsuming in some way
Learn to say no in a way that feels good to others so that you can say yes to yourself
Overgivers are often really bad receivers. We need to retrain ourselves to be good receivers.
We think when we lose weight we'll be magically happy and confident but you're still you. You just take up less space
If you don't address what's driving your overconsuming you will switch your overconsuming to something else
How we do anything is how we do most things
People appreciate good clear boundaries
