We are all struggling with weight, each and every one of us.

The focus of our struggle may be our own weight, our loved ones, and professionally the struggle may be for our patients, students and colleagues.

Today's episode is an abbreviated version of a chat I did for the local Children's Hospital - yes, these conversations are happening in professional settings as well! The full version is coming shortly.

Find out about WHY we are struggling and the steps to take to start changing that today. It's not about diets - ok, the struggle is. But the next steps are NOT about finding yet another golden-ticket diet. "What got you here," (ahem, diets, black/white thinking about health, fearing food and bodies, shaming, numbing the discomforts of life), "will not get you there," (lifelong health from the inside out) -- my adaptation of Marshall Goldsmith's quote.

Take a listen and let me know how you see this playing out in your life.

As promised, Family in Focus is opening again shortly for group coaching. Learn more and join the waitlist now: available here.
