Welcome back to the JordanSciut mini podcast. Thank you so much for listening. This is one of my favorite podcasts that I've ever recorded in the history of my entire podcast.

So please make sure you listen the whole way through. I speak with Inner Circle member Simona, who lost over 100 pounds and she has not had an easy road.

She has fibromyalgia, she has heart palpitations, she has a fib, she has every reason not to succeed, but she still does. And this is just without question one of my favorite conversations ever.

Simona is amazing. You can follow her on Instagram. Simona gets fit. I will put that in the show notes. Just wow. I'm blown away with her and I know you will be too.

So listen the whole way through. I hope you enjoy the episode. If you do, please leave a five star review on iTunes. They help a lot. And if you'd like to join the Inner Circle, you can do that at the link in the show notes or www.sfentercircle.com. All right, let's get into it.

All right, Simona, we are live. We are recording. I'm very, very excited about this. I read your email, I read your post in the Inner Circle Facebook group.

And I've been looking forward to this for a while now. So before we dive in everything, before we dive into your story, can you just do me a favor and tell me a little bit about yourself, who you are, where you're from. I just want to get to know you better.

Sure. My name is Simona. I live in Southern California. Actually, my parents are migrants from the immigrated from Italy. And then they moved to Australia for business.

And I was the whoopsie daughter. So I was born. I was the first born rights outside of Italy. So I was born in Australia. We came here when I was almost four years old and I've been here ever since I love California. So amazing. Awesome. And what do you do?

Right now, I'm not actually right now. I'm not doing anything. I'm on a little hiatus. Okay. Kind of focusing on me and myself.

So yeah, I love that. That's perfect. That's amazing. All right. Well, so how about you dive in? I basically, I would just love to hear your story.

I would love to hear it because I know you lost an incredible amount of weight. But I just want to give you the floor to begin with wherever you think makes the most sense.

Okay, sure. It's a long story. So I hope I cut in if you need to. I've got all the time in the world. And I'm very excited to hear this.

Okay, awesome. Okay. So I've never really been an overweight. I was never really kind of overweight growing up. I went through my chubby stage.

You know, 11 to 13. I lost, you know, my weight just, you know, growing up, puberty, all that stuff. So I've never really been an overweight person or considered overweight. I had my daughter at 21.

And I, from then on, I was just kind of never able to really lose, lose weight. I was never really considered, you know, morbidly obese or anything.

I was just kind of a normal, you know, just a regular weight. Anyways, as time went on, I suffered a stroke when I was 24 years old.

Oh, wow.

And yeah. And so that was kind of like what, you know, what's going on.

You know, it caused it.

Well, at first, no. So at first, they thought, okay, it might have been birth control pills, which is, it's a very common thing to happen.

I know that. Yeah. Yeah. So there are some that, that is a factor. And so unfortunately, you know, they were saying that could be a possibility.
