Ep215 Sam's 35kg Weight Loss Journey

  • September 18th 2024

Little did Sam know when setting her 2024 Word of The Year as ‘healthy’ just how drastically that would change her life both personally and professionally.

Sam isn’t sharing her journey to shame you into making similar changes in your life or to tell you her way is the only way – ‘cos it’s not!

Sam is opening up about her journey to getting healthy in all the ways in the hope it will help (maybe even inspire) other women in their 40’s who are having similar struggles.

There is so much overwhelming ‘wellness’ noise online that it can do more harm than good, so if this episode helps cut though the stress of not knowing where to start, then we reckon it’s worth opening up so vulnerably.

  • The life-style changes Sam has made in 2024 to work towards a healthy body, mind, business and family.
  • The downsides of dramatic growth and how to overcome the guilt of being ‘selfish’ when investing in yourself.
