Down 30 Lbs. Already: Client Interview with Katie Owens

Katie's inspiring journey to lose 50 lbs. is the heart of our latest Scales of Wellness podcast episode. Katie is a goal-oriented lawyer (aren't we all!) whose dedication to her career had led her to a place where she prioritized work over everything, and her main source of comfort was food. She found out about Legally Balanced Coaching from another client of mine while eating lunch with her and was immediately intrigued.

She speaks candidly about what has helped her to lose 30 lbs. already, and how she plans to lose 20 more lbs. She goes into detail about how to view vacations and trips in a way that helps her to lose weight and not only enjoy her trips, but enjoy them more than she would have in the past. We discuss how to approach the scale without weighing your self-esteem, and how to stop eating when you've "screwed up."

Finally, mindfulness and support take center stage as Katie shares how coaching has given her new awareness in terms of trusting her body and helping her change a mindset of scarcity around holiday/special foods.  She emphasizes how this deep dive into her relationship with herself would not have been possible without a coach to guide her. This episode is packed with insights and personal anecdotes that will resonate with lawyers and other Type-A professionals aiming for weight loss and more ease in life.
