Down 65 lbs. and counting!! Darrick went from a Fat Sal's regular to a vegetable loving, omelette making, weight loss machine. Not only has he become healthier on the scale, but his mentality toward health has completely flipped for good.  We sit down and chat about his journey recording every day of his life since 2012, his discovery to making healthy foods taste great, his oat milk tattoo, and the changes he needed to make to be able to accomplish such a goal. We get real when it comes to the mental switch needed in order to get past that "get fit quick" mentality that always leaves us feeling defeated and back at square one.  

The classic story of a small town girl with big dreams, moving to the city, and becoming a success in the making. Meet Abby Neff. One of the kindest, warmest, most down to earth humans you could meet, with beauty to match! But with every Cinderella story comes some difficult journey. We step away from the IG highlight reel to talk about her struggles as a professional fashion model and young 20 something trying to make it. We touch on extreme dieting, body dysmorphia, what she eats in a day, her workouts, and all the battles she (and most of us) face on the daily.  Life is not always so great as it may seem on social media or television, and this episode gives a real insight to what your idols may be struggling with EVERY. DAY.  We're getting real and discussing the good, the bad, & the ugly of mental and physical health.
