Episode 24: Today, Kasey and Lisa have a fantastic guest that Lisa never stops gushing about. They're thrilled to introduce you to Lora Grabow, a bariatric therapist with over 20 years of experience helping folks just like us navigate the mental maze of weight loss surgery.

Lora shares her insights on "head work," the often missing piece in bariatric treatment. Kasey, Lisa and Lora dig deep into emotional eating, setting boundaries, and the infamous "phantom fat." Get ready to explore the mental side of your weight loss journey with someone who's been a pillar in the bariatric community.

Whether you're considering bariatric surgery, are freshly post-op, or just curious about the mental hurdles of weight loss, this episode is packed with wisdom and real talk. Plus, Lora gives us the lowdown on her resources and how you can join her supportive communities. 🎉
