Today's guest is: Katie Lips

Katie Lips is an author, entrepreneur, speaker, mother, and weightloss expert, and helps people around the word to learn to love themselves, lose weight and find happiness.

Katie wrote her debut book Love Yourself & Lose Weight to share her experiences of successful and enjoyable weightloss. Having struggled with weight for many years, Katie found the secret was self-love. This simple book about love aims to help people to love themselves, lose weight and be happy.

Katie’s story is typical: in her twenties and thirties she gained weight gradually and reluctantly, with life’s setbacks causing her to feel less and less excited about being her. She fell out of love with herself and was stuck in a rut.

Fed up with feeling out of control, Katie realised the power of self-love as a catalyst for doing what she thought were difficult things - including losing weight. Over time, she learned to love herself and used her new found self-love as a catalyst for her massive, easy and enjoyable weightloss.

Katie lives just outside of London, England with her husband Paul, daughter Lana and cat Mikey.

Today's guest is: Cathy Connally

Cathy Connally’s culinary career had an inauspicious start at nine years old, with the renovation of her mother’s kitchen involving the Yellow Springs, Ohio fire department.  Later, to the horror of a high school teacher in St. Peter, Minnesota, she would win a Betty Crocker Award, only because she was good at math. This vote of confidence would propel her into internal audit in the global mining sector and eventually to a career as an entrepreneur in technology. Eating countless takeout meals while driving hours to put out project “fires,” was leading to a slow train wreck on the health front.
 
Her first book, Flavour with Benefits: France (released April 7, 2021) which she co-authored with Charley Best, is a romantic journey through France with stories of intrepid women, some famous, some not, and lessons about food as medicine experienced by Cathy at five years old. Her mission with Flavour with Benefits™ is to share her journey and experiences with millions of people so they too can overcome health challenges by taking simple actions every day, enjoy great tasting food and never compromise flavour or health.
