get off the scale. For so many years, my worth was determined by a number on a scale. If it was up,

I was having a shitty day. If it was down, I was all smiled.

What's up, everybody? Welcome back to the Macro Hour podcast. Today we have, I'm very excited for this guest. I just got to selfishly hang out with her a little bit before this call. It is recording this podcast. And y'all are going to love it. We have an amazing guest here virtually with us. She is the host of the wildly

popular podcast squats and margaritas. I mean, what better name is that? Author of from pain to

purpose and a body positive advocate, which I can't wait to dive in to all of the things that she has to

share with you guys today. I'm really looking forward to her sharing your story with you

because I feel like a lot of you guys will actually not feel. I know a lot of you guys will be

able to resonate with this. So, Aaron, welcome to the show. Thank you for that intro.

Happy to be here.

You're welcome.

I'm excited for you to be here, man.

So let's just get right into it.

Why don't you welcome yourself to this podcast, this community people that you were speaking

Yes, I am a mom of two. I'm currently living in

a balanced lifestyle of squats and margaritas. And I ended up writing a book to share this message

with the woman who is on the treadmill seven days a week, sometimes twice a day like I was,

only eating salads and starving

themselves. There is a better way. I was able to reach my physical ideal by living life with

balance, stopping all the obsession and restriction. And I wanted to share my story.
