In this episode, Mindi and Leslie share their personal stories of how health issues became the catalyst for their own transformations.

It kicks off with the crucial task of changing your "why." It's more than just a number on the scale; it's about finding a deeper motivation. If you're currently in a phase of self-discovery and unsure of your why, the hosts encourage you to borrow someone else's motivation, whether it's from the podcast or a friend.

Mindi, drawing from her own experience, emphasizes the transformative power of changing one's why. Once her motivation became non-negotiable, the journey became not only manageable but enjoyable. Leslie adds that the pressure to find your why can be overwhelming, and starting with borrowed motivation can lead you down the path of self-discovery.

Mindi and Leslie stress the importance of having a plan. They share their trusted sources—an influential cookbook author and a health influencer—and discuss how sticking to these resources initially helped them avoid overwhelm. The hosts highlight the authenticity of these individuals, emphasizing the importance of a genuine "why" in the health and wellness journey.

As they share their own experiences, Mindi and Leslie introduce valuable hacks, such as Bobby Parrish's app, Bobby Approved, which simplifies grocery shopping by scanning and approving ingredients. These hacks aim to make the process more accessible, ensuring that the initial steps toward a healthier lifestyle are clear and attainable.
