Marnie shares her inspiring journey of shedding 23 lbs and finding true food freedom after menopause.
Two years ago, a glimpse in a store mirror left her shocked—she didn’t recognize the reflection staring back. Despite being a long-time dedicated whole-food, plant-based diet, menopause brought unexpected weight gain, leaving her feeling out of touch with her own body. But rather than succumbing to negative self-talk, Marnie leaned into learning, growth, and mindset shifts.
Through self-compassion and a new approach to eating, she discovered how to feel full while losing weight and maintaining her health.
Embracing a “fail-forward” attitude, she’s replaced judgment with curiosity and transformed her relationship with food and herself. Join us as Marnie talks about the small, proud steps she took, the wins she now looks for, and how self-acceptance became her most powerful tool.

If you've ever found yourself using setbacks as a reason to quit? I've been there too.
I’m not superhuman, but I’ve found a way to stop quitting when things get tough. Every time I want to give up, I remind myself that quitting would only make me feel worse and stressed. Instead, I’ve learned how to use struggles as growth opportunities.
In this episode, I’m sharing how I shifted from a mindset of ‘lack’ and ‘victimhood’ to one focused on growth and progress, and how rethinking my core beliefs helped me stay motivated even through tough times and not give up.
If you're done with feeling stuck and want to keep moving forward—no matter what comes up—this episode is for you. Let’s talk about discomfort, change, and why embracing unease is the real path to growth.

Understanding the trade-offs in weight loss is key to staying on track and reaching your goals. Often, the focus is on what to do, but we forget to consider what we need to not do.
Every choice—whether it’s about time, energy, money, or enjoyment—comes with its own cost.
I’ll share my personal approach to balancing these trade-offs, like simplifying meals to save time for family, and I’ll also discuss common challenges many of us face.
By recognising and embracing these trade-offs, you can stay focused, realistic, and consistent on your journey to achieving your goals.

Imagine you’re faced with two paths to success: one is hard and full of obstacles, while the other is straightforward and effective.
The secret to success isn’t about working harder; it’s about working smarter. Successful people don’t create more obstacles for themselves, they find ways to remove them.
In this episode, I’ll use the inversion method to explain how figuring out what will guarantee failure and avoiding those issues is often much simpler than trying to discover the perfect path to success.
Instead of getting overwhelmed by all the endless things you need to do to become successful, focus on identifying what would guarantee your failure, then simply, do the opposite.
It’s natural to feel like you’re fighting a losing battle and that progress is impossible. It’s easy to think that giving up is the only option. But true success isn’t about never facing challenges; it’s about persevering, taking responsibility, and making adjustments to simplify your path so you can achieve your goals with greater ease.

Fat loss doesn’t have to be mystical, it’s actually a simple formula, with consistent inputs that have consistent outputs (eat veggies and get into a calorie deficit = lose fat)
The hard part is what behavioural inputs you need to ACTUALLY do it.
Not just go to the gym each week, but HOW to make yourself do it when you just want to lie on the couch and watch Netflix.
That’s where habits come in… and using the 4 stages of habit building to make positive behaviours easy and obvious, and negative ones difficult and painful.
In this episode, I break down how to do exactly that, so that you don’t have to hope and pray you reach your goals, you are guaranteed to.

If you want to guarantee failure, then these are the 5 things to do (or keep doing)
Sometimes it’s easier to simply avoid the things that will guarantee failure, and do the opposite, rather than try to come up with what success looks like!!
This concept comes from the great Charlie Munger (this entire episode was inspired by his work) and is all about inverting success.
Be warned. This episode is spicy.
I go hard on core beliefs that are probably holding you back.
There are 3 that most people hold onto that will stop them from achieving their goals, and they are not fun to admit are actually holding us back.
If you like results, being challenged, and making progress… then give this one a listen.
