  • Episode 29 - Steph: Whats Life Like 2 Years After Graduating BBB?

    In this episode, I’m joined by my incredible former client, Steph, to talk about what life looks like two years after graduating from the Body.Brain.Belief program.

    We’ve all felt trapped in the on-it/off-it cycle that diet culture creates – those fleeting moments where you feel like you’re smashing it, followed by the inevitable backslide that leaves you frustrated and stuck. It’s a pattern designed to keep you chasing the next “fix.”


    But Steph’s story proves it doesn’t have to be that way.

    Steph graduated from BBB two years ago, and since then, she’s not only maintained her progress but continued to build on it. In this conversation, she shares:

    • How breaking free from diet culture has helped her feel in control around food.
    • The habits, mindset shifts, and systems she learned in BBB that still support her today.
    • The ripple effect this has had on her confidence, relationships, and overall wellbeing.
    • Her advice for anyone stuck in the cycle and wondering if lasting change is really possible.

    Steph’s journey is a testament to what’s possible when you stop trying to “fix” yourself and start learning how to work with your mind and body.


    Whether you’re just starting out, in the middle of your journey, or wondering what life could look like on the other side, this episode is packed with inspiration and proof that you can create lasting change – no more on-it/off-it cycles, just freedom, control, and thriving.


    Listen now and find out how Steph has turned her hard work into a way of life that still works for her, years down the line.
