In this episode, I’m breaking down why putting yourself first is the key to crushing your bariatric journey. Post-surgery life can feel like a nonstop juggling act, but if you’re always putting everyone else ahead of yourself, your progress is going to take a hit. I’m diving into real strategies for making time for YOU—scheduling, meal planning, self-care, and setting boundaries like a pro. We’ll also talk about building the mental resilience you need to stop being a people-pleaser and start advocating for yourself. Because let’s be real—if you don’t make yourself a priority, no one else will.
