Hi, this is Annie Grace and welcome to this naked mind podcast. I am so happy to be here.

I'm losing my voice a little bit, not because I'm sick, but because I just got back from a Tony Robbins conference where I did way too much yelling.

I've lost my voice, but it was really, really amazing. Anyway, I'm super excited about today's podcast because this is my first mother and daughter podcast coming on to share.

Welcome to Jesse and Peggy. Thank you guys so much for being here.

Thank you for having us.

It would be awesome is we could kick off with like, why don't you guys just sort of tell us each of you sort of introduce yourself a bit and then Peggy will go into your story.

And I would love that. And Jesse, you could even start with how you found me.

Yeah, absolutely. So, man, it's a really, really cool story. So Annie and I are mentored in coach by the same business coach.

And there's a lot of people who are involved in that community. So I didn't know her personally in our story, but our business coach had mentioned something about Annie and what she did.

And it just really perked my ears because for so long, my mom had struggled with alcoholism and listening to what our business coach had to say about her. I was really interested.

And so that's when I looked you up and I started to kind of just stock you and figure out what the heck it was that you did.

And it was cool because as I started to read into your methodology and get your book and just listen to your podcast and learn about you and your approach to helping people who struggle with alcoholism.

It resonated so much because I help women who struggle with binge emotional compulsive overeating. And I use very, very similar, I mean the same science.

We just use, you know, we just focus on a different issue. And it excited me so much because all I've ever wanted to do is help and support my mom to find a solution.

And we just continue to come up short. And in understanding the science as I started to dive into the psychology of eating, it started to make sense, you know, how these struggles were, you know, similar addiction addiction, regardless of what it is.

And so anyways, I got really excited and I bought your book and I decided, you know what I asked my mom, hey, would you be interested in doing this course? And she was like, yeah, maybe I don't know.

And so I was like, you know what, I'm just going to buy it for her. And I bought the course and I said, your mom, here's the login. And I kind of just left it at that because I wanted to, you know, I just wanted to be a support and allow her to take her own time.

And whenever she decided eventually mom.

Yes, right.

It took me a while. I was taken care of my mother at that time. And she, she was very sick with dementia. It's just, you know, it's just one of those things.
