In this week\u2019s podcast episode, I\u2019m sitting down with Darlene, whose journey is nothing short of inspiring. She\u2019s released 40 pounds and has kept it off for over six months\u2014and what\u2019s unfolding for her now goes far beyond the number on the scale. Here\u2019s what makes her story even more powerful\u2026 In her 60s, Darlene was preparing for a major hiking adventure in Chile with her partner\u2014something she told me she never would have even imagined before beginning her weight mastery journey. We recorded this conversation just before her trip, as she was getting ready to take on the W Trek. And what stood out most wasn\u2019t just the physical transformation\u2014it was the shift in how she sees herself. More energy. More confidence. More freedom. And a deep sense of trust in her ability to keep going. In this episode, we dive into what real transformation actually looks like beyond the scale. We talk about hypnosis, navigating maintenance, and how to build a life where you don\u2019t just hope you can stay consistent\u2014you know you can.
