Summary
A listener's real-life journey of personal development, weight loss and growth
Today, we're catching up with Mandy K, who you might remember from episode 316, which was originally recorded in 2021. I highly recommend listening to that show so that you can follow along in this real-life journey. In that conversation, we discussed Mandy on the "weight loss roller coaster" and the deprivation-binge cycle; her fears and realizations around intuitive eating, and her discovery that mindset was the key all along; and, the real secret behind accomplishing what you want when can’t seem to start.
Flash forward to present day, and Mandy's story is one of curiosity, consistency, and personal growth, and she's here to share her updates with us in real time.
In this episode:
- Mandy's transformation beyond her 30lb weight loss - how a health kick spawned a journey of self-exploration
- Fat loss, fitness and intermittent fasting
- Dealing with body image and expectations
- The iterative journey of self-improvement
- The tendency to compare ourselves to past versions of us
- Confidence and self-esteem - Mandy's mindset shift
- The journey to self-validation and building self-belief
"It's not about the destination; it's truly about the journey. Stay curious, stay consistent, and most importantly, stay true to yourself."

| 0:35.7 | refresher. Mandy was on in episode |
| 0:38.2 | 316. That was in October, 2023. And we had such a robust conversation, such a real life |
| 0:46.1 | conversation after Mandy had messaged me in Instagram. But what may not have been clear to you |
| 0:51.6 | from the very, very top of that episode is that was a replay. |
| 0:55.6 | That was an episode that I pulled from the archives because I was traveling intensively. |

| 1:03.9 | And so I pull out shows that I really love and I rebroadcast them for you. |

| 1:28.6 | little time capsule, you were just on the air a couple of weeks ago, a few weeks ago. Now, |
| 1:33.6 | it's actually two years later from when that episode was recorded and I just was dying to talk with |
| 1:39.3 | you again. It is so wild. I mean, to think it's been two years because just going back myself and |
| 1:44.6 | re-listening to that episode so much has changed. It's just, I don't even know who that person is |
| 1:49.7 | almost. It's been part of the journey, but it has been wild. This last week or so, just kind of really |
