Destination Begin
Kristen Smith
I’ve lost over 250 pounds and changed my life radically many times over. I’ll be detailing my life as a child in a religious cult, growing up as a fat kid, losing weight, bariatric surgery, fitness hacks, meal and life planning strategies and real life, tough love cheering you on to achieving your goals and aspirations. I don’t pet. I am silly. I am fun. And I am simply ordinary. Which means I am qualified to convince other ordinary folks how to do the extraordinary.

Brenda joins me on the podcast to talk about her experience of getting started on her journey back to her self, health, weight loss, and joy after life changes, weight regain and finding herself stuck in the mud. Her empowering story will show you how important it is to simply start, trust the process, and how much joy and confidence is found from day one. Brenda had a gastric sleeve just like me and was considering a revision before choosing to start over with addressing her relationship with emotional eating and food. I am so proud of Brenda and you will be too! So much hope and joy in this episode.

Roy’s First Story
A long and emotional sit down with my husband, Roy to hear the details of his life story. This is raw and unedited, in the hopes that you will hear the sincerity and emotion, and get a picture of the trajectory of his life. Over 48 years headed in one direction, repeating patterns that kept him stuck, before a hard pivot into a new direction, and the start of his second story. He tells his story so you will see that no matter what the theme of your first story, you can turn the page and write a new one, the moment you grab the pen.
