    14. Getting dressed stopped hurting (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    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 (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    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.

    12. The scale has power over me (Week 4 Wegovy Dose 1.0) (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    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.
