Welcome back to another episode of Pushing Flames. This week was one of those stretches that tested me it felt long, I was exhausted, the scale barely moved, and my workouts were weak. Normally, that combination would leave me frustrated and stuck. But instead of quitting, I learned something new about how the body works, and it completely shifted my mindset.
In this episode, I’m breaking down what I discovered about the leptin hormone, why my body was stalling, and how one planned refeed day actually pushed me forward. I’ll also share why I’ve decided to put my business on pause for now and fully invest in myself mentally, physically, and emotionally. This journey is more than numbers on a scale. It’s about betting on myself, and refusing to let anything stop me.
