In this episode, Janelle shares the story of how she lost almost 80kg in 12 months. Burdened with postnatal health issues, Janelle quickly saw her weight increase, leading to constant pain and poor mobility. Popular weight loss injections and surgery were expensive and difficult to access, so armed with nothing but a Bluetooth speaker and a dogged determination, Janelle went about changing it all. And while she still has work to do, the journey has helped Janelle to see that she is capable of far more than she would have believed. In a time when the weight of judgement feels heavier than ever, Janelle’s story is proof that sometimes all you need is to dance like no one’s watching.
