If you’ve ever found yourself reaching for snacks even when you’re not hungry, or wondering why you can’t just stay consistent, this episode is going to be a game changer.

This weeks episode is a live reply from a Lean with Plants community talk all about dopamine — the brain chemical that teaches you what’s rewarding and how it influences everything from your cravings to your habits. The crazy thing is, dopamine isn’t just about pleasure… it’s about motivation. It’s what drives you to repeat certain behaviors, even the ones that don’t serve you.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to understand dopamine so you can start working with your brain instead of constantly battling against it. We’ll talk about why processed food feels so hard to give up, how to make consistency easier, and what it really takes to build habits that last.

If you’ve been struggling with motivation, or feeling like you “fall off” every time life gets stressful, this one’s for you.

If you’re ready to do whatever is required to succeed for your health goals, then book a free consult with our team to talk about making that a reality.

Joann’s story is a powerful reminder that it’s never too late to change.

For years, she struggled to stay consistent. She wanted to live a healthy, whole food lifestyle but kept slipping back into old habits that left her feeling frustrated and stuck.

Through Lean With Plants coaching, Joann finally discovered why consistency had always been so hard and how to make it simple. By focusing on real behaviour change, she built habits that last, found freedom from dieting, and created results that now feel effortless.

This episode inspired me and I hope it will leave you inspired to believe that lasting change really is possible, no matter how many times you’ve started over.

If you’ve been stuck, doing “everything right” but still not seeing change, this episode will shift how you see your entire weight loss journey.

You don’t need a new diet or more motivation, you need clarity about the direction you’re heading. Because every choice you make is a tiny vote for who you’re becoming.

In this episode I'll break down the four stages that shape lasting transformation:
🌱 Ignorance — when you don’t know why nothing’s working
💡 Truth — understanding how physics, energy, and calories actually work
💭 Acceptance — letting go of resistance and wishing it were easier
⚡️ Action — learning to steer your habits with intention instead of emotion

You’ll learn how to stop arguing with reality, face the truth with compassion, and finally create a system that aligns your daily choices with your long-term goals.

Because progress doesn’t happen from one big decision. It comes from hundreds of small directional choices that shape who you are becoming.

The only way you go from who you are today to who you want to be is through evidence.

Most of us want to skip ahead. We think we can just decide to be someone new, leap across the ravine, and instantly become the person with the outcome we want. But the truth? No one leaps. They build a bridge — one tiny, consistent plank at a time.

This episode dives into why identity isn’t about “faking it till you make it,” and why it’s completely normal — even warranted — to feel like you don’t deserve the outcome yet. If you already fully owned the identity, you’d already have the result. Change isn’t about forcing belief; it’s about taking the steps that slowly prove to yourself who you are becoming.

We’ll unpack:

• Why your brain resists change and labels new identities as “lies”

• How to use James Clear’s framework (make habits Obvious, Attractive, Easy, Rewarding) to build consistency

• Why integrity shows up most powerfully in failure, not success

• What radical personal responsibility looks like when the shame hits and you want to hide

Your thoughts aren’t facts. Feeling like a failure doesn’t disqualify you — it’s simply part of the process. You don’t need to know exactly who you want to be yet; it’s enough to know you don’t want to stay stuck.

Because becoming the person you want to be isn’t about leaping. It’s about building the bridge.

If you’ve ever felt stuck on your weight loss journey and wondered why you just can’t stay consistent, this episode is for you.

Spoiler: it’s usually not just about food, it’s about the stories you believe about yourself.

In this episode, I’m diving into the sneaky limiting beliefs that hold us back, and how to start rewriting them so they actually work for you instead of against you.

You’ll hear a live replay from inside the Lean with Plants community, where we talk about how to:

• Spot the beliefs that quietly sabotage your progress

• Reframe your mindset so showing up feels doable (even on the messy days)

• Create empowering stories that keep you moving toward your goals

Think of this as your gentle reminder that lasting change doesn’t start with a new meal plan — it starts with a new belief in what’s possible for you.

Sharleen shares her inspiring journey of losing 15 lbs, preparing for hip surgery, and finally breaking free from the all-or-nothing mindset that held her back for years.

For so long, weight loss felt impossible. She knew what to do, even showing up at the gym consistently for a year, but still couldn’t understand why the results never came.

Through coaching with Lean With Plants, Sharleen discovered simple, practical tools that made the process not only achievable, but sustainable.

With a new sense of confidence, Sharleen now knows the weight she’s lost is gone for good. More importantly, she’s built trust in herself too. Proof that change is possible when the focus shifts from willpower to real behavior-change strategies.

Join us as Sharleen shares how she moved from frustration to freedom, why this time feels different, and how she’s embracing a healthier, more hopeful future.

If life feels like an emotional rollercoaster and consistency seems impossible, this one’s for you.

In this episode, I’m talking about what it really means to build habits when everything feels messy, chaotic, and hard.

Spoiler: it’s not about being perfect or having it all figured out — it’s about learning how to show up even when you don’t want to.

I’ll share how I’ve managed to keep moving forward (sometimes to my own surprise!) despite crying, crumbling, and feeling like a hot mess most of the time.

You’ll learn why consistency isn’t about perfection, but about having the right toolkit for the battles that life throws at you.

Here are 15 things I think will help you achieve your goals, and stay consistent even when life is tough!

Think of this as your permission slip to succeed in the middle of the mess — because you don’t need to be calm, collected, or flawless to reach your goals. You just need to know how to “do messy well.”
