Hello lovely listeners! I am your host Heather and I am here for yet another year of helping you.

I am so excited to be here.

I did know I was going to release this episode to be quite honest with you. We were so fortunate not only was Carolina willing to be coached long-term around her binge eating issues and prioritize that overweight loss, but she was actually willing to come on for a live Q&A session in November of 2022.

That got recorded and it was after our coaching had ended so it was really cool to get to hear how things transitioned for her, what improved, what changes she saw.

If you are new to the show, you have no clue who Carolina is, you have no clue what I am talking about. If you go back to episode 547 and 548, you will get to hear the very first two episodes.

Those we released to the regular podcast stream. All the other episodes and there is a grand total of 14 number 13 is going to go out this week on Wednesday.

Those are only available to podcast premium subscribers. If you want to continue with her journey here, part 1, 547 and part 2, 548, and you want to hear numbers 3 through 14, you can go to half sizeme.com, forward slash fan and sign up there and you will get to listen to all of them.

But you also get to do more than does that as a podcast premium subscriber, you're going to also get to vote on who is going to be selected to get a spot like Carolina did.

We had five awesome people step up and they wanted to try to get that same kind of one on one coaching, get it recorded, share it with the podcast premium members.

And those are going to be episodes 564, 565, 566, 567 and 568. Those 5 people that were on those shows are all going to be on your voting ballot this week.

So if you're a podcast premium subscriber, you'll get an email and we're going to ask you to vote to rank everybody from the person you would like to see the most get the coaching to the least.

And that way we can kind of see what the preferences are from our podcast premium subscribers. So you as a podcast premium subscriber, you get every single show going back to episode one, I mean very first episode, that's a lot of episodes.

You get bonus content, you haven't asked me anything where you can submit a question.

And you will get to listen to the Carolina series numbers one through 14 and I'm going to be recording a new series with whoever gets selected from your voting this week. So a lot of cool stuff coming your way.

And today's episode is what you get to hear how Carolina, how the coaching impacted her how it impacted her day to day life, how it impacted her binge eating how it impacted her relationship to food. This is a really cool episode because if you again go back to 545, 548 where she started.

And you hear her today, you know a lot happened in those 14 coaching calls. So if you really need that feeling of hope, you're like, okay, Heather, I have done this year after year, my binge eating is the issue.

I'm struggling with food. I'm compulsive with food. I can't stop. Just listen to today's episode and all I'm asking, take a little bit of hope from it.

That even though you might be where Carolina was at the beginning of her journey and hearing where she is today, you have that same opportunity. You can change.

I don't think you can change it by yourself, though. I'm going to be honest. That's a lot. I think you need community. I think a coach doesn't hurt. And if nothing else, what I have heard from other people in the half size me community is that listening to Carolina's coaching series actually helped them.

It's a lot to take on on your own, but as a group, as a support system, I think when you have those things, I think anything is possible. So I just want to encourage you do not give up on yourself. I know everybody starts excited in January.
