Welcome to your Midweek Motivation!

In this week’s episode, Gina and Odette reflect on the messy (or magical?) middle—that awkward, in-between part of the process where things can feel sticky, slow, or just plain hard. With Thanksgiving behind them and real-life indulgences front and centre (hello, wine and turkey leftovers), they share relatable moments and practical mindset shifts that help reinforce why consistency counts. It’s a laid-back, honest conversation that reminds listeners that the goal isn’t perfection—it’s just showing up and doing your best.

In this episode, Gina is joined by Naturopathic Doctor Paul Hrkal for a straight-up conversation about why the scale might not be moving—even when you're doing all the things. It’s Week 5 of the program, a pivotal point where most people start to see movement, but for those who don’t, there could be deeper reasons. Together, they unpack four major culprits: inflammation, food sensitivities, gut health, and hormones (including menopause). Dr. Paul explains how these internal factors could be stalling your progress and what to look out for, from subtle signs to testable markers. Whether you’re in your first round or have done the program before, this one’s a must-listen if you feel stuck or suspect something more is going on behind the scenes.

In this episode of Spill the Tea, Gina welcomes Natasha London-Stewart, a Livy Method member who’s lost 84 pounds and gained something even more powerful: self-love. Natasha opens up about growing up in a culture where food is love and body comments are common, and how that deeply shaped her relationship with eating and self-worth. She shares what it’s been like to unlearn those patterns, rebuild her confidence, and shift her mindset from shame to self-acceptance. With honesty and heart, Natasha reminds us that the journey isn’t just physical—it’s emotional, generational, and ongoing.

In this episode, Gina explores how downsizing week is about more than just eating less—it’s a chance to check in, take stock, and recognize the habits that shape real change. She explains how inflammation and food sensitivities can show up when you're paying closer attention, why stress isn’t just emotional but physical too, and how simple grounding rituals can help keep you centred when life gets loud. More than anything, this conversation is a reminder that awareness isn’t fluff, it’s the real work. Whether you’re struggling or thriving, there’s something in this one for you.

In this episode of Spill the Tea, Gina sits down with Katie Hill, whose journey sheds light on what it really means to live The Method. Katie shares how she broke free from years of diet culture—starting with WW at age eleven—and found a new kind of confidence after dropping 45 pounds through The Livy Method. But this isn’t your typical before-and-after story. Katie opens up about navigating a 15-month plateau and why her goal is less about a number on the scale and more about living the life she envisions. Honest, emotional, and refreshingly relatable—this is a story you’ll want to hear.

In this powerful episode, Gina welcomes back Dr. Deena Kara Shaffer, learning strategist and author, for a conversation that hits deep. Together, they explore why real change can feel so hard—especially when you want it more than anything. As the Livy Community steps into the downsizing week of The Program, the discussion gets real about food scarcity, fear of hunger, self-sabotage, and why it’s not just about what you eat, but how you relate to your body, your past, and your big, hopeful goals. With raw honesty and insight, Gina and Deena unpack purposeful frustration, the discomfort of growth, and the difference between just losing weight and actually healing. This one’s for anyone who's ever asked, “Why is it so hard to do the thing I know I want to do?”.
