Welcome to Thinner Piece and Menopause and Beyond.

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

Hey, today is episode number 54.

Stay tuned.

You know, I always say this, but it's true. It's going to be a good one.

Hello, hello, hello. How are you today? Well, you know, I'm in Belize and I'm having a

wonderful time as I tell you each time.

And this week has been extra special because my son and his wife and their two children, my two

grandchildren, Ellie and Sebastian's two and a half, and Ellie is nine months and I'm going to post

some cute pictures of them on Facebook and some of the things that we're doing.

But it's really given me a chance, number one, to love on them and to feel, oh my gosh, it just feels so good to be around them every day.

And I don't know, just feeling that strong, strong connection between my

grandchildren, my son, my daughter-in-law. It's really quite gorgeous. And I guess that really gets me

thinking a lot because I watch her a lot with her kids. And it reminds me of how I must have been. It reminds me how most

women are when they have children. And I think one of the biggest problems that I see with a lot of my

clients who I work with is that somehow they don't really believe that they are worth

the time that it takes to do the things that is necessary to have excellent self-care.

And yet, you know, they come to me so they can do

the things that they need to do to have excellent self-care. But it seems like it's just not

where they naturally want to go, which I found so fascinating because like when I watched my

daughter-in-law, Jessica, with her kids, it seems so natural of all the things and all the

time that she takes for them. And so I'm wondering, and I'm thinking, well, why isn't it that natural for us to want to put the time and care into ourselves?
