In this episode I sit down with Elizabeth Hannahs and talk about how she's lost 60+ pounds postpartum over the past two years, with 40+ of those pounds lost with 1-On-1 Coaching.

We dive into a variety of topics such as misconceptions she had about fat loss before starting coaching, how this experience has been different than anything else she's ever done, & why this time she's confident the weight will stay off forever.
