  Episode #14

  14. Getting dressed stopped hurting

  Aug 16, 202619 minS1

  Can we talk about getting dressed? Getting dressed used to be so frustrating, emotional (like crying emotional), and a constant game of camouflage and balance. I didn’t realize how much time and energy I spent trying to feel comfortable in my own clothes…until I didn’t have to anymore. In this episode, I’m talking closet clean outs, the sudoku packing method, “wish” clothes, and the unexpected freedom that comes when getting dressed stops hurting.

  13. Wegovy on Vacation…Spring Break Roadtrip

  Jul 16, 202641 minS1

  Episode 13 is a little different. Join me on my first adventure…taking and being on Wegovy, on vacation. While traveling, I recorded daily voice diaries as I navigated restaurant portions, vacation treats, cocktails, and food timing. I share the daily observations (the good, the bad, the ugly) and the lessons I learned along the way. By the end of the trip, one realization stood out above all the others: I simply can’t keep up with how everyone else eats anymore.

  Jul 3, 202622 minS1

  Episode 12 recaps Week 4 and the final shot in my first box of Wegovy 1.0. This week, I realized the scale and I have a very complicated relationship…it’s measuring more than my weight. I’ve gained one pound, and let that number completely dictate my motivation, my mood, and how feel about my progress…even though I’ve already come so far! Join me as I unpack why one number still has so much power over me.

  10. Adapt with the dose, don’t fight it (Weeks 1 & 2 on Wegovy dose 1.0)

  May 22, 202627 min

  Welcome to Episode 10! I’m so excited and grateful to all of you for allowing me to get this far in my podcasting journey. There is so much more to come. But let’s get into my first two weeks moving up a dose from 0.5 to 1.0. I’m doubling my dose again. At this point I should know better that when I move up a dose, things change, symptoms come back…but saying that and living with daily change are two different things. Week 1, I’m so sick I’m having trouble discerning Wegovy symptoms from sick symptoms, but what is sneaking up on me…delayed fullness…what does that mean…listen in and find out what it is and how I beat it. Happy Listening!!!
