In this conversation with Gina Livy, she names the belief that nearly cost her the business: that she was supposed to figure it out on her own.Jenn and Gina get into the old stories that block change, what a year of everything-failing actually teaches you, the difference between regret and shame, and the morning routine that keeps Jenn steady. Her rule for anything worth doing: if you don't give up, you can't fail.This podcast aligns with Day 9 of our Fall Program, members can find video in our Livy Method app or Livy Method Community Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/livymethodThere is still time to join the Fall Program and there are two ways to join you can purchase the Fall Session for $99, or become a member for $20/month for year-round support, access to every session, Livy AI, member perks and more.

Gina Livy and Odette open week one of maintenance with a claim that sounds backwards: the food is the easy part. Knowing what to eat, when to eat, and how much to eat is learnable. What's harder is everything sitting underneath it; the fear of gaining it back, the old habits that feel comforting because they're familiar, and the quiet belief that once you hit your number, the work is finished."My diet is over" is the thought that undoes years of progress, this is how fear of regain can become a self-fulfilling prophecy.This podcast aligns with Day 8 of our Fall Maintenance Program, members can find video in our Livy Method app or Maintenance and Mindfulness Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ginalivymaintenanceandmindfulness Hosted on Acast.

The scale is up two pounds after an almost perfect day. Most people read that as failure. Gina Livy reads it as a sign the weight is about to drop.Gina breaks down what the scale is actually measuring and why the number climbs right before fat is released. She covers the three signals that weight is on its way down, why weighing once a week tells you almost nothing while weighing daily tells you a lot, and why it's far harder than you think to turn the food you're eating into real fat. Trust the process.This podcast aligns with Day 8 of our Fall Program, members can find video in our Livy Method app or Livy Method Community Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/livymethodThere is still time to join the Fall Program and there are two ways to join you can purchase the Fall Session for $99, or become a member for $20/month for year-round support, access to every session, Livy AI, member perks and more.

You wanted this for so long. So why does getting here feel a little flat? Clinical psychologist and sleep expert Dr. Beverley David joins Odette to explain why reaching your goal weight can bring a letdown instead of a lift, and why that's a normal human response, not a sign you're failing. She breaks down how anticipation and dopamine carry us through big changes, how hedonic adaptation makes even major wins feel ordinary fast, and why calm can feel strange if you grew up watching the people around you go on and off diets. She also shares her three-step approach for this stage and why your next goal may have nothing to do with the scale.Where to Find Dr. Beverley:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drdrbeverley/Website: https://www.yourpsychologycentre.ca/This podcast aligns with Day 4 of our Fall Maintenance Program, members can find video in our Livy Method app or Maintenance and Mindfulness Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ginalivymaintenanceandmindfulness Hosted on Acast.

You did the hard part. The weight is off. So why does keeping it off still feel like work?Welcome to the first Midweek Motivation of the season! Gina Livy and Odette talk openly about the slow, uninspired start that can follow weight loss, and why weight maintenance is less about food and more about knowing yourself. They get into where carbs like bread, pasta and rice fit once you're no longer trying to lose, and why an all-or-nothing mindset about them causes more trouble than the foods do. This podcast aligns with Day 3 of our Fall Maintenance Program, members can find video in our Livy Method app or Maintenance and Mindfulness Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ginalivymaintenanceandmindfulness Hosted on Acast.
