Today we're diving into a very special solo episode as I celebrate a milestone on my sobriety journey, 12 years sober. Over the years, gratitude has been my cornerstone, and today, I want to share the support that brought me here and the lessons I've learned through the 12 steps and my Next Level Experience group.

I'll also recount a humorous incident that taught me resilience—my initial panic during a new webinar format—and share my plans to run regular webinars packed with valuable insights and special offers. Additionally, I have some vital tips for kicking your fitness goals into high gear, from managing your social media to setting diverse metrics beyond just weight loss.

Stay tuned as I announce an exciting Black Friday deal on my coaching program and discuss the ease of maintaining good health versus the challenge of getting back into shape repeatedly. With a proactive approach, I urge you to consider scheduling a discovery call and get ready for our upcoming app designed to enhance community engagement. Let's push forward together on this journey of personal evolution and self-respect.
