Today I talk with fellow health and wellness coach and friend, DeDe Spicher, about transformation, change, and the power sharing our stories have in sustaining hope, joy and strength–even in the most challenging of times.

DeDe’s experience with bariatric (weight loss) surgery was the first step of many on her remarkable personal journey from patient to coach. As she found new ways of being in the world and radically redefined her relationship with food and eating, she was not only able to keep the weight off, but has become an inspiration and guide to others navigating their own experiences.

Her work explores the intersection of bariatric health, embodiment, and emotional resilience, weaving mindfulness and nervous system support into all aspects of holistic wellness. She helps others untangle their wellness journeys from shame and “shoulds,” instead building relationships with their bodies rooted in mindfulness, compassion, and self-trust.
