In this heartfelt episode of "Podcasts and Portraits, Reflections of Women Over 40," host Ariane Jaschke engages in a deeply emotional and inspiring conversation with guest Louise. The episode highlights Louise's incredible journey of self-love, resilience, and transformation, focusing on her experiences with significant weight loss and the personal growth that accompanied it. Louise shares the struggles and triumphs of losing 287 pounds, undergoing multiple surgeries, including a botched skin removal surgery and subsequent corrective surgery in Mexico, and the emotional toll these experiences took on her.    Further, she delves into her struggles with weight regain, the complications of balancing her diet, and the impact of her weight on her personal and family life, including her pregnancies. Louise also talks about her passion for empowering others through her business, The Suite Hair Removal and Aesthetics, where she provides a body-positive, judgment-free zone for clients. Her journey is marked by determination and the continual redefining of self-love, showing that no matter the challenges, it’s possible to overcome them and come out stronger.
