EP 249. One Conversation and Then She Stopped Dieting Forever - An Interview with Sarah Nelson
If you’ve ever thought, “I know what to do, but I’m just not doing it,” this episode is going to light you up.
Sarah came to me at 55, deep in the chaos of menopause, emotional eating, and diet burnout. She wasn’t in a program. She wasn’t “launch ready.” She just sent me an email and said: “How can I work with you?”
We had a Tea Chat. And that one conversation? It changed everything.
Inside this episode, Sarah shares how she:
Lost 11 pounds and kept it off (even after breaking her arm!)
Rebuilt trust with herself after decades of compulsive food noise
Quieted the guilt, shame, and mental obsession with eating
Shifted her identity from chaos to calm using my mindset-first method
Found new energy to move her body, meditate, and reclaim joy
This isn’t a story about a meal plan or a perfect morning routine. It’s about real reinvention. About trusting the process before you see the result. And about what’s possible when you stop waiting for a program to open—and start listening to your gut.
