Hello, my dear friends. This week, I share a deeply personal journey — one of heartbreak, strength, and the quiet generosity that carries us through life’s most difficult moments. When the unexpected happens and our hearts ache, what do we do? How do we show up for others and ourselves in times of grief? This episode explores the power of presence and the profound impact of offering care, even when our own hearts are broken. Together, we reflect on what it means to love harder — to set aside judgment, lean into connection, and hold space for one another. If you've ever found yourself navigating the storm of loss or standing beside someone you love in their darkest hour, this conversation is for you. Join me as we walk through the waves of grief, armed with love, clarity, and the courage to keep going. Quote of the Week: "I grew up with six brothers. That’s how I learned to dance—waiting for the bathroom." — Bob Hope Let’s go, let’s get it done. Get more information at: http://projectweightloss.org…

Living Your Best Life—One Chapter at a Time Books have shaped my life in ways I could have never imagined, and this week, I want to share the profound impact of reading on our journey to living our best lives. Whether it's the wisdom of the Maesters, the emotional depth of a novel, or the courage found in stories of resilience, books give us a connection to something greater than ourselves. Inspired by the incredible words of Poet Laureate Amanda Gorman and the universal language of world and the universal language of storytelling, this episode is all about the power of literature—its ability to challenge us, move us, and ultimately transform our world. From the Alchemist to the timeless classics and even banned books, we’ll explore what makes a book worth reading and how literature can inspire change. I’ll also share my personal reading goal for the year—20 books, including selections from Maesters, unfinished works, and those that have been challenged or banned. Because when we expand our minds, we expand our possibilities. What books have left a mark on your life? Have they pushed you, scared you, or given you a new way of seeing the world? Let’s dive deep into the stories that shape us. So, my lovely listeners, wherever you are—in Abu Dhabi, Germany, Mexico, France, the United States, or any of the incredible places you’re tuning in from—thank you for being here. I am thinking of you, and I hope this episode inspires you to reflect on the books that have influenced your journey. Let's embrace the written word and let it guide us to our best selves. Quote of the Week "When I look back, I am so impressed again with the life-giving power of literature. If I were a young person today, trying to gain a sense of myself in the world, I would do that again by reading, just as I did when I was young." -Maya Angelou Amanda Gorman Interview Link: Meet the Press Interview: Amanda Gorman Interviewed by Kristen Welker Fina's 20 Books List: 48 Laws of Power Animal Farm Beloved Crossroads of Twilight Forever Huckle Berry Finn Iliad James Let Them Theory Liliana's Invincible Summer Loving What Is Meditations-Marcus Aurelius Mindful Investor Silvan Method Slaughter House Five Tao Te Ching The Art of War The Great Gatsby The Obstacle is the Way The Perks of Being a Wallflower Let’s go, let’s get it done.

Homeostasis: The Pain and Satisfaction Feedback Loop 23:39

Ever feel like your body is working against you when it comes to weight loss? In this episode, I unpack the fascinating concept of homeostasis—our body’s natural way of maintaining balance—and how it plays a critical role in our eating habits, cravings, and metabolism. I’ll break down why extreme dieting backfires, how dopamine influences our food choices, and what we can do to work with our body instead of fighting against it. We’ll also explore the power of pain—yes, pain!—and how embracing the right kind of discomfort can actually help us create lasting change. Drawing from the research of Dr. Anna Lembke, I’ll share strategies to reset our brain’s reward system, reduce emotional eating, and find balance in a world filled with instant gratification. And of course, I’ll tie it all back to our Project Weight Loss journey and project management principles—because real, sustainable transformation is all about strategy and balance. If you’ve ever struggled with cravings, felt stuck in cycles of self-sabotage, or wondered why your body resists change, this episode is for you. Tune in as we uncover the science behind lasting weight loss and the small shifts that make all the difference. Quote of the week: “ Balance is not something you find, it’s something you create .” – by Jana Kingsford References: Caloric Restriction and Metabolic Adaptation: A study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that increasing dietary protein from 15% to 30% of energy intake, while keeping carbohydrate intake constant, led to a sustained decrease in ad libitum caloric intake. Dopamine and Eating Behavior: Research in Nature Neuroscience highlighted that dopamine depletion reduces food-related reward activity, indicating that dopamine plays a significant role in eating behavior and energy balance.

Hello, my dear friends. This week, we’re speaking to a powerful concept—one that plays out in ways we don’t always recognize. It’s a strategy often used in war and politics, but it also shows up in our personal lives, our relationships, and even in our journey toward health and wellness. How do we navigate division without letting it consume us? How do we use awareness and wisdom to move forward with strength and clarity? When we face challenges, whether in our friendships, careers, or personal growth, we have a choice. We can allow obstacles to stop us, or we can use them as stepping stones to something greater. So, how can you take what stands in your way and turn it into the way forward? How can you channel conflict, resistance, or even self-doubt into meaningful action? Let’s explore these questions together. Quote of the Week “Quod obstat viae fit via—what stands in the way, becomes the way.” -Greek Goddess Athena Let’s go, let’s get it done.

Have you ever felt stuck, like the world is working against you? That no matter how hard you try; external forces keep holding you back? This week, we’re diving deep into the concept of victimhood—how it sneaks into our thinking, impacts our actions, and ultimately, holds us back from the success and fulfillment we seek. Whether it’s in our weight loss journey, our careers, or our personal relationships, when we fall into the trap of believing we have no control, we unknowingly give away our power. But what if there was another way? What if we could shift our mindset and reclaim our influence over our own lives? This episode will challenge the way you see obstacles and villains in our lives, offering a new perspective on how to move from feeling powerless to stepping fully into your strength. We’ll explore what it really means to take responsibility—not in a way that blames, but in a way that empowers.

This week, we’re discussing what it means to measure success, especially in the face of setbacks. What happens when we don’t win, or when someone we care about doesn’t succeed? Is our happiness tied to the result, or is there something deeper that drives us forward? Together, we’ll explore the teachings of the Stoics, the wisdom of Viktor Frankl, the principles of Steven Covey, and the practical advice of Zig Ziglar. And of course, I’ll share my personal thoughts on how we can find peace and momentum amidst life’s challenges. Through the lens of amor fati —the love of fate—we’ll unpack the idea of embracing what is and transforming it into fuel for growth. How can we love the process, even when the outcome isn’t what we hoped for? And more importantly, how can we maintain our momentum when life feels heavy? This episode is a heartfelt invitation to reflect on your own measures of success and align them with your values.
