In this episode, I sit down with wellness advocate Holly Bertone to dive into how mindset is everything when it comes to sustainable weight loss and overall health. Holly shares how shifting from a mindset of guilt and shame to one of empowerment can help you break out of those frustrating diet cycles and achieve real, lasting wellness. Together, we explore how to overcome societal pressures and self-imposed limitations to create a healthier, more fulfilling life.

Holly introduces her philosophy of “owning your ship,” making intentional choices that put you back in control of your health. She opens up about her personal journey, from her breast cancer diagnosis to reclaiming her wellness through mindful decisions around nutrition and stress. Her story is incredibly inspiring, and she’s proof that taking responsibility is the most liberating step on the path to well-being.

We also talk about setting forward-thinking goals that focus on your future self, instead of just the number on the scale. By keeping a bigger picture in mind, you’ll be better equipped to handle everyday challenges while staying on track with what really matters. Join us as we uncover realistic strategies and mindset shifts that lead to meaningful, lasting health.
