Summary
On today's episode, I'm joined by one of my 1:1 coaching clients, Allison, who's sharing how she broke through her plateau and lost the last 10 pounds — not by pushing harder, but by doing less.
It sounds counterintuitive, but "less" can actually be the key to better fat loss. When you're stuck, it's rarely about motivation or effort. More often, your effort is solid… but your plan isn't intentionally targeting what's truly holding you back.
In the episode, Allison opens up about:
✔️ What she did to lose the first 10 pounds postpartum versus the last 10 pounds on her journey, and what had to shift.
✔️ Why intentionality matters more than intensity for body fat loss.
✔️ Simple but intentional shifts she made to make weight loss easier in the busiest season of her life (as a mom, wife and successful businesswoman).
✔️ How she went from 60-hour workweeks, two kids under five, frequent travel, and total burnout to losing weight faster than she expected with shorter workouts, simpler meals, and way more flexibility than she believed was "allowed."
By the end of this episode, you'll walk away with a calmer, more grounded perspective on what it really takes to lose the last bit of weight and why the strategy that gets you started isn't always the strategy that gets you to the finish line.

| 0:17.6 | very special to me. Her journey is crazy and And I'm not going to steal her thunder, |
| 0:22.8 | but she began her journey in what was formerly known as the membership. Now it's called Slim Down, |
| 0:27.7 | Eat Up, and she was part of the hot and healthy community area. So connected with our coaches, |
| 0:31.6 | our team, the other members, all of that. And that's where she began our journey with us. |

What really inspired that first kind of investment into yourself of like, hey, I want to make a change here? I came to the membership. Gosh, it was way back |
| 1:37.7 | in January, 24. And I had been working on my own since August. I was seven weeks postpartum in August. |
