Description

Asking for help and getting support is crucial to succeeding on your weight loss journey. The truth is that weight loss is not just about food, but also about our environment and the people we surround ourselves with.

Discover the emotional and identity transformation that occurs when we lose weight and how this process leads to a need embracing vulnerability, curating our energetic space, dealing with unsupportive people, building a supportive community, and learning to receive support.

A supportive environment is key to making our weight loss journey easier and more sustainable.
