Many businesswomen and entrepreneurs face a common yet often overlooked struggle that is, the challenge of managing their weight while juggling demanding careers. The relentless pursuit of success, driven by the pressures of high performance, often leads to burnout and unhealthy habits. This lifestyle, combined with societal expectations, can create a toxic cycle of stress and emotional eating, making weight loss feel like an impossible goal.

In this episode, Leslie sheds light on why traditional dieting methods fail to deliver lasting results for ambitious women. She explores the pitfalls of relying solely on restrictive diets or quick fixes like medication, which may offer temporary relief but often lead to weight regain and further frustration. The episode highlights the emotional and psychological factors, often rooted in childhood, that contribute to this ongoing battle with food, body, and weight.

The solution lies in a holistic approach that balances masculine, goal-oriented energy with feminine intuition and self-care. Leslie shares insights from her Hypnosis for Permanent Weight Loss program, emphasizing the importance of healing past traumas, listening to your body's needs, and making subtle, sustainable changes. By aligning your health goals with your personal values and strengths, you can achieve lasting weight loss and reclaim a sense of balance and fulfillment in your life.

"I want to educate you on why highly driven and successful people in business, why do they sometimes have these problems? Why do they end up having the problems that lead to the poor health outcomes? So we need to talk about your upbringing in order to really shine the light on that and, yeah, a lot of that of what was going on in the background in those early years when your unconscious mind was being primed to become who you are today, which we celebrate who you are today, especially if you're listening as a powerful leader, an entrepreneur business person." - Leslie Thornton
