## Resource

Summer Club has officially begun! In this kickoff episode, Gina Livy gets into why you don't have to wait until goal weight to wear the bathing suit, be in the photos, or actually enjoy your life. She breaks down the science of happiness, why we all have a baseline, why the lottery won't fix it, and how presence and real connection can raise it (plus the app that finally broke her scrolling habit). She also shares the story behind the 91-day program, why the plan was never meant to be followed forever, and how to use summer as the ultimate test of everything you've learned. This podcast aligns with Day one of our Summer Club, members can find video in our Livy Method app or Summer Club Community Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/livymethodspring2026 Hosted on Acast.
