When we make a choice, it's often to improve life, learn, grow and succeed. However, that road may bring about unexpected experiences and, yes, sometimes these unpleasant feelings.
When I first started this podcast, I the goal was to show what it's really like to experience a 100-pound weight loss journey. Social media can be so filtered that the sweat and suffering can often be totally hidden from view.
I also wanted to show people, maybe like you, that the tough times that come with weight loss are simply part of the process.
See, losing weight successfully is not just a black and white diet plan. It's not a quick fix. And it's certainly not a simply process.
It does take work, dedication and a lot of heart.
At the starting line of my journey, I saw myself as the Incognito Athlete, a woman who was strong and capable in my own way, but lacked the socially acceptable exterior. I had the ambition to make a change, and jumped head-first into a journey to lose the weight for good!
After sometime, it all clicked for me. I wasn't just on a weight loss journey. Nope! This was a journey to discover what health and happiness truly looks like. And the outcome has been something greater and more fulfilling than I ever imagined.
Now that I've unlocked the mystery behind weight loss, I can see that the Incognito Athlete, although ambitious and hopeful, was still limited in her beliefs...especially of herself.
I've reached a new point of self-development now, one where I no longer hide behind the mask or feel "less than".
I now LIVE UNMASKED.
I discovered the barriers I'd set for myself and I busted them down to do more, see more and achieve more than I ever thought possible.
And, just as I set out to do from Day 1, I'm sharing all these freeing lessons with you.
It is my mission to support anyone who is feeling unseen, incapable or defeated with their health and happiness through customized goal-setting and proven weight loss strategies, while leveraging critical lessons in gratitude, grace and grit.
From this point on, the Incognito Athlete podcast is now Weight Loss Unmasked.
Whether you are looking to lose 100 pounds like me, just a few pounds to feel better in your skin, or to brighten your world with more joy and less self-loathing, this podcast is for you. I'll discuss weight loss tips and overall wellness guidance, often times paired with free resources to supercharge your efforts.
A massive thanks goes out to each of you who have been there from the beginning. My heart goes out to you for your support. With that, I send you all the inspiration and encouragement you need to get started or keep going, no matter where you are in your own journey.
