Midlife can feel like a pressure cooker — career pivots, parenting chaos, and a body that doesn’t bounce back the way it used to. In this episode, I sit down with health coach Regan La Testa to pull back the curtain on the silent struggles no one talks about. We dive into the identity crises, the stress-fueled burnout, and the surprising mistakes most people make in midlife that keep them stuck. And we don’t just vent — we give you the simple, life-changing shifts that can put you back in control. If you’ve ever wondered, “Is this all there is?” — this conversation will give you hope, clarity, and a game plan.

In this episode, I sit down with my longtime client, Erica, to walk through her powerful transformation after bariatric surgery. Erica opens up about the challenges she faced post-surgery, the mental hurdles she had to overcome, and why joining Busy Bariatrics was the turning point in her journey.

We talk about the role of community support, how nutrition and fitness helped her stay consistent, and how she used GLP-1 medications as a tool (not a crutch) for long-term success. Erica also shares the mindset shifts that helped her stay patient when progress felt slow and how that patience ultimately led to incredible results.

If you’ve ever felt frustrated with the ups and downs of bariatric life or questioned whether you can actually hit your goals, this episode will show you what’s possible. Erica’s story is living proof that with the right support and belief in yourself, you can thrive — and we’ll show you exactly how we do it.

GRAB OUR HOLIDAY GUIDE

In this episode, I sit down with Taryl — a mom of seven — to talk about what it really takes to prioritize yourself when life never slows down. Taryl opens up about her bariatric surgery journey, the chaos of raising a big family, and how she learned to put self-care at the top of her list without the guilt.

We dive into the strategies that helped her stay consistent: planning ahead, overcoming gym intimidation, and leaning on accountability when motivation faded. Taryl also shares how she celebrates non-scale victories and navigates life’s busiest seasons without losing progress.

If you’ve ever felt like there’s no way to focus on your health with your family, job, and everything else pulling at you, this conversation will flip that belief on its head. Taryl proves that making yourself a priority isn’t selfish — it’s the key to showing up for everyone else.
