Welcome to Thinner Peace and Menopause and Beyond. This is Dr. Deb Butler, Master Life and Weight Coach,

and as always, your coach. Today is episode number 178. I'm going to do a live coaching session today

on a listener, just like you, who wrote in a letter. And she's courageous enough to come on and talk to me.

Stay tuned.

Hey, everybody. How are you today? It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood. I'm looking out at the woods.

It looks like late summer.

Every now and then I see a yellow leaf fall from the tree. And then I see a hummingbird come up to the window and say hello to me.

It's the end of summer as we know it. And it's just beautiful. And today I have something really,

really special for you, as I always say, but I do. I had a listener just like you,

write me a letter. And I thought it was so good. And she had so many different points in there

that I thought if she was brave enough to come on, that I thought it was so good, and she had so many different points in there that I thought

if she was brave enough to come on, that I could coach her on some of the things that she wrote

to me about. And I think it'll resonate with you too. And I think however I coach her will help

you. It's like you can stand in for her. That's the beauty of when I coach somebody else in

front of you. I call it osmosis coaching. It's like you get the coaching even though you're not here

talking to me. You will get it too. And that's why I love group coaching because that's what happens

is even when you are not being personally coached,

you are. And your brain is open in a different way when you're not being coached.

So sometimes you can have even more aha moments than when you're being coached personally.

So with this, let's see what you think about this.

Her name is Sarah and she wrote me this letter,

and I just want you to hear the letter. And when I coach her, I won't read the letter again,
