Welcome to Thinner Piece and Menopause and Beyond.

This is Dr. Deb Butler, Master Life and Weight Coach, and as always, your coach.

Today is episode number 181.

I'm going to do another live coaching session today, and it's all about the fear of gaining your weight back. You ever thought that

before? Ever heard that before? Ever wondered about that? That's what this is about. Stay tuned.

Hey, everybody. How are you today? It's still summer here. That's all I can tell you. And you know what I did today? It was so much fun. Usually in between my coaching sessions, what I love to do is we have some

beautiful woodsy trails out here that go along the river. And many times I'll take

my walk out there and then I'll bring a chair in my car and go sit by the river. And many times

my husband will come and meet me and we'll go hang out at the river and have a chat and

who's a podcast listener, who has really enjoyed my podcast and has learned so much.

And she wrote me a letter recently,

and I thought it would be so good to coach her that I asked her if she would come on. And guess what? Another brave soul said yes. So you're going to meet Lauren today. But before you meet her, what I'd love for you to do, number one, is I want to tell you a little bit about I want to read you the letter that she wrote me. And I also want to tell you about something very exciting that I have coming up for you because many of you ask about if I do anything with groups so that for those of you who can't work with me
