Weight loss is about more than numbers — it’s about what we carry, what we release, and who we become along the way.

In this episode, Stephie Kay sits down with her friend Ryan, who lost 81 pounds, to talk honestly about the journey behind the weight loss — the moments of struggle, the mindset shifts, and the quiet victories that don’t show up on a scale. Stephie also shares her own story of losing 97 pounds and what that process taught her about healing, self-worth, and choosing herself again.

This isn’t about perfection, pressure, or proving anything to anyone.

It’s about choosing yourself — again and again — even when it’s uncomfortable.

It’s about consistency over comparison, and courage over comfort.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, discouraged, or unsure if your effort is “enough,” this conversation is for you.

Because sometimes the greatest weight we lose…

is the weight we were never meant to carry.
