Set Yourself Up for Success This Year

Are you ready for some football analogies?!

Are you already feeling disappointed in yourself this year? Did you start off 2025 with high expectations that you are already not meeting?

Most of you start off your year setting up your weight loss journey as a game that is impossible for you to win. The most important thing you can do differently this year is recognize that you are putting yourself in a position where you have about a .2% chance of losing weight and keeping it off forever.

You might need to play the game differently, but let's play a different game to begin with.

Let's set up the rules of the game so that you have a GREAT chance to win.

Let's get you a winning record in 2025!  Book a consult call with me at https://calendly.com/legally-balanced/60min. The only investment is one hour of your time!

Hot Stuff, Baby! My Son, Nolan Bedward, Interviews Me While We Eat Hot Sauce

It's January and a great time to try something new that pushes you out of your comfort zone. Any kind of hot and spicy food pushes me WAY out of my comfort zone, but especially the hot sauces we used in this episode. This is SERIOUS!

I also had no idea what Nolan was planning for his interview questions. But why not take risks in life (calculated risks and not reckless ones, of course)? That's the only way we grow as human beings.

When was the last time that you took a risk that you weren't forced into taking? and did it turn out to be life-giving for you?

Listen to today's episode to find out how the hot sauce risk/adventure turned out and contemplate what thoughtful risks you are willing to take in 2025. If you want a different result in your life this year, you need to think new thoughts and take new actions.

Here's a link to the hot sauces we tasted:
