Life transitions are where health journeys go quiet.

My summer officially ended this week. And I have been thinking about what that means for this journey because I think it means something for yours too.

Because here is what I know after three years of doing this. Transitions are where things go quiet. Not because you stop caring. Because the conditions change and the habits that lived comfortably in one season do not automatically survive the shift into a busier one.

Today we are talking about the anchor. The one thing that keeps you tethered to this journey when life gets full and the routine bends and everything else is pulling at you. And why figuring out what yours is right now, before the season changes, is the most important thing you can do for your results.

This is your free episode of the week. Paid members get this every single day, Monday through Saturday, before the day starts. If you have been thinking about upgrading, now is the time. Do not go into your next season without something holding you in.

What You Missed in Paid This Week

Here is everything that dropped inside the paid community this week.

Episode 20: The Last Week On transitions, what they do to your journey, and why figuring out your anchor before life gets loud is the most important thing you can do right now.

Your GLP-1 Stall Isn’t in Your Food. It’s in Your Allostatic Load. The article that explains why your cortisol is running the show and what to actually do about it. This one hit 1.9k views.

Episode 21: Recovery Is Not a Reward The third piece of the SSR series. What recovery actually is, why presence is the most underrated tool you have, and the one thing your nervous system has been waiting for you to give it.

Monday Focus (Week 4) The community thread where members shared what they were locking in for the week. 15 comments. People showed up.

Episode 22: The All In Fantasy Why you keep wanting to overhaul everything and then talking yourself out of it thirty minutes later. Spoiler: the pull back is not the problem. The surge is.

Wednesday Check In (Week 5) 24 comments. People were real this week. This is the community that actually shows up for each other.

The Invisible Phase of GLP-1 Weight Loss Playbook The resource that explains everything. If you have been wondering why nothing is moving even though you are doing the work, this is your answer. 1.8k views.

Episode 23: When the People Around You Don’t Get It The skeptics. The commentators. The minimizers. The well meaning ones who keep saying the wrong thing. We talked about all of it and what to actually do with each one.

The Scale Didn’t Break You. It Made You Fluent in Lying to People Who Love You. The article that went somewhere unexpected. This one is not about the scale. It is about what we learned to do to survive it.

Episode 24: The Weekend Mindset What is actually happening in your head between Friday and Monday. The off switch, the white knuckle, and the third option nobody talks about. Keep the thread.

Friday Wins + Community Roundup (Round 4) Your people showed up this week. Wins were shared. Progress was celebrated. This is what the community looks like on the inside.

All of this. Every week. For $3 per month.

If you are ready to stop missing it, the door is open.

You were never supposed to wait until goal weight to start living.

What have you been putting on hold?

The trip. The clothes. The class. The thing you keep telling yourself is for after. After you lose more weight. After you feel ready. After you get there.

Today’s episode is about why after is not coming the way you think it is. About what three years on this journey has taught me about permission and presence and why the version of you that is here right now, still in the middle of it, not at the finish line, is not a draft.

She is the whole thing. And she is allowed to live.

This one got personal. I think it is going to hit somewhere deep.

For anyone who keeps starting over on Monday. You need this ep.

Perfect weeks followed by crash weeks. On the plan, off the plan, starting over, crashing again.

That cycle is not a motivation problem. It’s a mindset problem.

Today we’re talking about why 10% better every day beats 100% every now and then. What it actually looks like in real life on a regular Tuesday. And how to stop writing off the whole day just because it didn’t go perfectly.

This is your free episode of the week. The rest of the week, I’m in your ear every single day for paid members.

progress over perfect, always.

I started a podcast.

Just me, talking to you. No fancy production.

This is the first episode and I’m sending it to everyone because I want you to hear what this is before I tuck it behind the paywall where it lives going forward.

Today we’re talking about the Invisible Phase. The stretch where you’ve already been losing, you’ve already seen it work, and then the scale just stops. And you’re doing the exact same things. Nothing changed. Except the results did.

If you’re in that right now, this episode is for you.

Every episode after this one is for paid members only. If you’ve been thinking about upgrading, now is the time. Pricing goes up July 1st. Lock in the lowest price this Substack will ever be. After that it’s gone.

Come in before July 1st. Lock it in. And get every episode, every deep dive, and everything else inside the community for the price it is right now.

lock it in babe

rooting for you always,

I've worked with four GLP-1 telehealth companies. And after three years in this space I have some things to say about why creators keep getting blamed for a system they didn't build.

This is not a drama video. This is an honest conversation about what's actually happening in the GLP-1 telehealth landscape, why some creators seem like they're pushing too hard, why others go quiet without explanation, and why the skepticism your audience feels is real but maybe pointed in the wrong direction.

I'm also sharing what I look for now before I say yes to any partnership, and what changed after four companies and a lot of lessons I wish I'd learned cheaper.

The full written breakdown is on my Substack this week, free for everyone. And on Friday my paid subscribers are getting the behind the scenes version, including what a real influencer contract actually looks like and the questions you should be asking before you sign up with any telehealth company.

Semaglutide vs Tirzepatide: Which Actually Works Better?I've been on semaglutide and tirzepatide. Three years on GLP-1s, 75 pounds down, and I still don't have a perfect answer for which one is "better" -- but I have a real one. In this video I'm sharing what it actually felt like to be on both medications, why I made the switch, and what I wish someone had told me before I did.If you're trying to decide between sema and tirz, or wondering if you should ask about switching -- this one's for you.Join Back to Day One; our May Reset here: https://nykirl.substack.com/p/back-to-day-oneStart a GLP1 with Elara (where I get my meds) → https://www.theglp1girlcode.com/elarafaqGLP1 Bestiie Favs → https://hail-allium-85c.notion.site/GLP1-Bestiie-Favs-3378d80af8c9805181b3d09fbac637b5?pvs=73Free GLP1 Starter Guide→ https://nykirl.substack.com/p/the-glp1-girl-starter-guideApps I use→ Happy Scale — to track trends instead of daily noise🎧 Listen to the Podcast→ Listen here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-glp1-girl-code-podcast/id1845956070My FREE community for Women on GLP1 → https://discord.gg/HBYmrDDZC3📌 Disclaimer: This is my personal experience, not medical advice.

There’s this thing that happens on a GLP-1 that nobody really warns you about.One week, you feel incredible. Your appetite is regulated, your food noise is quiet, you feel like the medication is doing exactly what it’s supposed to do. You’re crushing it at the gym, you’re saying no to things you never used to be able to say no to, and you’re thinking; okay, this is it. This is the version of me I’ve been waiting for.And then the very next week? You feel like you didn’t even take an injection.Nothing changed. Same dose, same routine, same everything. But suddenly the hunger is back. The cravings are back. You’re snacking. The scale jumped up 3 pounds overnight and you have no idea why. And your brain immediately goes to: something is wrong. The medication isn’t working anymore. Should I dose up?I need you to hear this: you didn’t do anything wrong.What’s happening has nothing to do with your GLP-1 failing you. It has everything to do with your hormones; specifically, the two hormones that govern your entire monthly cycle: estrogen and progesterone.→ Subscribe to me on Substack: https://substack.com/@nykirl→ Check out Dariam's post I mentioned: https://open.substack.com/pub/itsdariam/p/when-community-starts-to-feel-divided?utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=webStart a GLP1 with Elara→ https://www.theglp1girlcode.com/elarafaqGLP1 Must-Haves: Gruns Multi + Greens → https://snwbl.io/gruns/NYK17259PureGenius Protein Shots → https://get.aspr.app/SH15QyTriquetra B12 → https://lvnta.com/lv_cURhtW5IooMwjLuqxxTriquetra L-Methylfolate → https://amzn.to/3OIovnpBelliWelli Fiber Powder → https://belliwelli.com/SFKDXB4YFree GLP1 Starter Guide→ https://nykirl.substack.com/p/the-glp1-girl-starter-guideThe Path.

This is the part of the GLP-1 journey no one really talks about.The middle of weight loss can feel slow, confusing, and honestly… a little discouraging.
