In this episode, I talk with Sharna Braucks (@norcalgal), who opens up about her life-long struggle with weight. She started dieting at just 8 years old and went through two separate gastric bypass surgeries. It wasn’t until she started a GLP-1 that she finally found hope.

Sharna shares what’s helped her be successful on the medication, how her mindset has shifted, and why gratitude plays a key role in her journey. This interview was originally recorded live, and I’m so grateful to share it with you here.

Once 650 pounds, Jamie has completely transformed his life and now uses his experience to inspire others and advocate for access, so everyone who needs a second chance has one.

He walks over 12,000 steps a day, lifts weights four days a week, and shows up, out loud, for a future where GLP-1 medications are within reach for everyone who needs them.

But he’s not just talking about change, he’s leading it. Jamie serves as the Executive Director of the North Dakota Democratic Party and was elected to the Democratic National Committee, where he represents his state.
