Welcome to Real People. Real Journeys. This series features the honest and vulnerable stories of real people who have made The Livy Method a part of their lives.
In this episode, Gina catches up with Robin Hahn—opera singer, theatre director, and disability advocate—who’s now in Maintenance after losing 45 pounds with The Livy Method. Robin opens up about being put on her first diet at age eleven during her ballet years and shares how decades of yo-yo dieting shaped her mindset. She reflects on the moment she realized she hadn’t failed diets—they had failed her—and how that shift led her to a more mindful, compassionate approach to weight loss. Now living in maintenance, Robin shares what it means to let go of old identities, tune into her body’s needs, and trust herself in this new phase. It’s a personal and profound conversation about healing, habit change, and why maintenance is about more than holding steady—it’s about living a life that finally feels like your own. Plus, a performance that brings Gina to tears. You don't want to miss this one.

Ever struggle with feeling worthy? Same.
I sit down with the incredible Princess Sarah Culberson. Yep—a real princess. But her story isn’t what you think. Sarah shares how finding out she was royalty didn’t come with instant pride. In fact, for years, she hid it—unsure how to own a title she didn’t feel worthy of.
This conversation is about so much more than a royal title. It’s about identity. Imposter syndrome. It’s about the disconnect so many of us feel between how others see us and how we see ourselves. Whether you're navigating change, chasing a dream, or showing up for yourself in this weight-loss journey… this one’s going to hit home.
