After gaining 50 lbs in a short period of time and facing a bout of depression, Courtney struggled with where to start in her health journey. She desired weight loss in the long run, but more than anything, she first wanted to feel so confident in her health habits and relationship to food as someone who lived a super stressful life as a business owner and had turned to emotional eating in the past. In this conversation, Julia and Courtney talk about how little changes turned into big waves, like becoming someone who moves her body consistently, who experiences way less period cramps, and who understands how to eat with confidence (and avoid sugar cravings) - plus, how going to therapy while working with a nutrition coach unlocked even more growth.Even though she hasn't even focused on it directly, she’s also already down nearly 12 lbs in the last few months from making these small changes over time.Courtney’s story is for the woman who’s wondering how she’ll ever get out of the current funk she’s in, where she feels like nothing’s ever worked and she has no little time to give… she’s proof that you don’t need to feel ready to transform your life!!

Christina, a 43-year-old speech therapist and mom of two, found herself trapped in a mental battle. She believed in body acceptance but didn't feel good in her body and constantly criticized herself for caring about it."I was always battling myself, being like, well, you shouldn't care about this, but you do care about this, you know?"Growing up with 90s diet culture messaging, Christina experienced the exhausting cycle of self-criticism followed by criticism of that self-criticism. Previous macro coaching felt disordered and came from scarcity rather than self-care.Food became an afterthought."I would just get to meals all the time and just be like, 'Oh, I guess I need to eat again.'"She was spending precious mental energy on these thought patterns and wanted to quiet the noise once and for all.Breakthrough #1: Permission to Prioritize Self-Care Through FoodChristina realized that taking time to feed herself wasn't selfish—it was essential. "It feels fun to me to think of like, 'Oh, and now I get to make this for myself.' It's a 100% change in how I see thinking about taking care of myself during the day."Breakthrough #2: From Scarcity to Abundance MindsetInstead of focusing on restrictions, Christina learned to get excited about what she could include in her meals."It doesn't feel like I'm planning for what I'm not eating—it feels like what am I gonna use this stuff on, you know? It feels totally different."Christina's Advice"If you have these thoughts floating around in your head, you owe it to yourself to really take the time and dig into them... you will be so grateful to have taken time to actually go deeper so that maybe you can continue and feel more free in your life and in your brain."Christina's transformation was about fundamentally changing her relationship with food and self-care. The program gave her tools to:✅ Stop the mental battle between wanting to care for her body and feeling like she shouldn't care about her body at all ✅ Create personalized systems that work with ADHD and busy lifestyles ✅ Develop food freedom rooted in science, not restrictionThis transformation happened during one of the most challenging periods of her life, proving that when you address root mental patterns, changes stick even when life gets crazy.Ready to quiet the food noise in your own life?
