We Gained 30 Pounds on Purpose

from Whimsy World · host Elle Beecher and Cameron Hogan

What if weight loss didn't require restriction, punishment, or hating yourself? After gaining 30 pounds together and loving our bodies more than ever, we're testing a radical approach: releasing weight from joy, not force. We share our DEXA scan results, the moment it took an hour for Elle to say the number on the scale out loud, and how discovering “set point weight” changed everything. This conversation covers Orange Theory burnout, eating ice cream daily, nervous system regulation, and why transparency about weight is the most liberating thing we've ever done. If you've ever struggled with the scale controlling your life, this one's for you.Join Our Communities:✨ Apply for ⁠⁠The Board⁠⁠, a curated global network for people who have everything except the right room.✨ Walk with us for 5 miles and meaningful conversations, now in 10+ cities: ⁠⁠www.theboardwalks.com⁠⁠ ✨ Subscribe to ⁠⁠The Friday Debrief⁠⁠ for lightbulb moments from The Board WalksConnect With Elle & Cam:✨ Elle’s newsletter ⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠ ✨ Cam’s newsletter ⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠✨ Elle Beecher’s ⁠⁠social media⁠⁠ ✨ Cam Hogan’s ⁠⁠social media⁠⁠Explore Whimsy World:✨ Listen on Spotify, Apple, & ⁠⁠all platforms⁠⁠✨ Watch & Subscribe on ⁠⁠Youtube⁠⁠✨ ⁠⁠Buy us a spring water⁠⁠ if you enjoy our episodesAbout Your Hosts:⁠⁠Cameron Hogan⁠⁠⁠⁠ is an intuitive healer who helps high-performers shed their limiting beliefs and awaken.
