## Resource

Hey Gloss Squad — returning guest alert! 🚨✨ You met Jodi Echakowitz back in March 2024 on Episode 21 ( From Weight Watchers to Wonder Woman )… and since then? This woman has been BUSY becoming her strongest self. 💪🔥 In this episode, Jodi gets real about the part of transformation people whisper about but rarely say out loud: plastic surgery after major weight loss — and why choosing it wasn't "cheating," it was reclaiming her body, confidence, and athlete identity. In this episode, we dig into: ✨ When Jodi first started considering surgery (and the exact moment she couldn't unsee the loose skin) 🧠 The mindset shift that changed everything: "Why can't my scars be my reminder?" (GOOSEBUMPS) 🔍 How she researched surgeons like a CEO (Facebook groups, RealSelf, before/afters, ALL the receipts) 👙 What she actually had done (tummy tuck + breast lift) and how she decided what was right for HER This one is empowering, informative, hilarious, and honest — and if you've ever wondered, "Is this for me?" or "Am I allowed to want this?" …you're going to feel so seen. And remember Gloss Squad...midlife isn't a crisis… it's just a plot twist. 💄✨ xoxo melis 👉 Don't forget to leave a 5-star review on Apple or Spotify (because you're THE BEST!) 👉 Tag me @motivatewithmelis and share with a friend 🎧 Listen Now On: Spotify | Apple Podcasts 👯‍♀️ Guest: @jodi.echakowitz 📧 info@motivatewithmelis.com 🌐 https://motivatewithmelis.com
