    Ep 84 Your Identity Is the Real Transformation

    Today we're chatting about something I was just coaching clients on... And during the discussion, they said lightbulbs were going off for them. We dove into this idea of identity.  More specifically, I shared how our perception and beliefs about ourselves either hold us back, or they hold the golden ticket to everything we’re trying to achieve. And this is a big deal because so many of us think we’re just on a mission to change habits or routines. (Or that we need to be on that mission.) But the truth is... The real transformation comes when we shift who we believe we are at our core.  I wanted to share this chat with you today because, let’s be honest, you’re probably doing the same thing - working hard on actions without realizing your identity is running the show.   Give this episode a listen then do me a favor and rate the podcast and leave a review. :) Send me a message on Facebook or in Instagram DMs if you'd like.

    Ep 83 Why You Keep Sabotaging Your Health Goals (and How to Break the Cycle)

    Let's be real today... Ever feel like you’re in this constant cycle of starting fresh on Monday, only to end up back at square one by the weekend? It’s not that you don’t want to reach your health goals—it’s just that somehow, things always seem to go sideways.  I used to believe that if I just worked hard enough or got the right plan, I’d finally stick with it. I thought, if I want it bad enough, I’ll make it happen. But here’s the truth:  Sometimes it’s not about wanting it more. There’s a whole web of stuff underneath the surface that’s making it hard for you to follow through. And that’s what we’re uncovering today's episode.

    Ep 82 Beyond Buzzwords: Why “Find Your Why” Isn’t Enough

    Let’s be real - Do you roll your eyes when you see social media posts about "finding your why?"  I AM!  And that's why I felt drawn to do this episode. Social media is packed with fluffy buzzwords that might make you feel "nice," but they don’t move the needle on real change. In this episode, I get to the heart of what’s missing from the surface talk and dig into the real reasons that drive transformation. I start with how you need to forget stopping at the question of “why” because that's just the beginning!  If you want real change, you have to get beyond feel-good statements and surface level questions. You have to explore the deep-rooted beliefs, past experiences, and even self-judgments that influence your journey. Whether it’s weight loss, better health habits, or boosting confidence, understanding these layers can make all the difference. So if you’re ready to dive deeper, this episode is for you. Tune in for an eye-opening chat that might just give you a fresh perspective on why you want the change you’re after. Take a moment for yourself today… You’ve got this.

    Ep 79 Investing in Yourself: A New Perspective for Busy Professional Women Over 40

    As busy professional women over 40, we juggle lots of responsibility. Along with that, we grapple with the challenges of weight loss, health, and self-confidence, especially during peri-menopause and menopause when our metabolism seems to work against us.  In today's episode, I share realization I came to my own wellness journey that made all the difference.  This realization fundamentally changed the way I approach investments in my life and business. I explain the shift and give examples of how saves me time and enhances my quality of life.  As you listen, imagine how you can apply the shift in your life.  I hope you'll also consider the cost of inaction - if you don't make changes.  This change became a pathway to reclaiming my life - in a sense.    When you're ready, here's how I can help you for FREE: (Community + Support) Join my Lori Doddy's Total Wellness community to get research-backed tips, strategies, and free resources to lose weight and manage menopause like  (Lose Fat) Steal my guide with exact 5 Changes I have all clients make in week 1 of working with us, so they lose weight and drop inches even before we put their customized plan in place.
