On this episode Sonya is joined by Steph Ferries. Prior to covid Steph concentrated hard core on the number on the scale. Through COVID she lost many freedoms but an important one was the ability to go to the gym due to high risk conditions in their home. After a visit to her doctor and a rib tube echocardiogram, she realized how much strength she had lost throughout her entire body. The scale read only 5-8 pounds higher through COVID, but she could see her body shape changing. She thought it was fine since the scale didn’t read much different, however it wasn’t until being back to the gym, and her doctors visit, that she realized that muscle truly does weigh more than fat and just how much muscle she had lost.

On this Episode, I get vulnerable when talking about my relationship with the scale. For many of us, we use the scale as a reward system, or we let the scale determine our attitude for the day. It's time we lose the scale and focus on doing the right things that create healthy habits.

On this episode Sonya addresses her own journey of defining healthy and the struggles around dealing with constant pain. 

Everyone's journey has a starting point, and maybe a restarting point. Listen as I dive into the moment I realized I needed to get serious about this journey and asked for help.
