It’s a place to get inspired, have a few laughs, feel like you’re not alone, and walk away with advice that’s actually helpful. We’re tired of all the health trends, the wellness fads, and everyone telling us how to feel, when we just want to feel like ourselves again. Midlife may be messy (especially around that midsection), but we can do this. Some days you’ll feel like a rock star, others you’re barely hanging in there. We meet you where you’re at, so come hang with us on The Livy Method Podcast. If you want to learn more about The Livy Method, visit livymethod.com . Hosted on Acast.

How well has that worked in the past? In this episode, Gina Livy and learning strategist Dr. Deena Kara Shaffer unpack why sustainable weight loss feels so hard, and it’s not about knowing what to eat. Together, they get into the psychology of behaviour change, why overwhelm shows up even when the plan is simple, and how to choose a path that actually works for you (without burning you out). It’s a practical conversation about mastering the “how” behind starting, staying, and showing up for yourself, especially when life gets messy (because when isn't life messy!?). If you’ve ever struggled with motivation, follow-through, or feeling like you have to do ALL THE THINGS to be successful, this one will hit home.
