  • A Devil at Every Level: Breaking Through Your Limits

    A Devil at Every Level: Breaking Through Your Limits
    Dec 2 2025
    EP169: A Devil at Every Level: Breaking Through Your Limits In this week’s episode of the Weight Loss Warrior Podcast, I sit down with two of my closest friends - and two coaches who have both mentored and supported me over the years - Aaron and Johnny. This conversation is different from a typical WLW interview. We’re not talking directly about weight loss, calories, meal plans, or habits today. Instead, we go deeper into something that lies beneath every transformation you will ever attempt… whether that’s losing weight, starting a business, chasing a dream, rebuilding your confidence, or trying to change who you are at your core. We’re talking about the idea that there is a “devil at every level” - a metaphor for the limiting beliefs, fears, doubts, identity clashes and internal resistance that show up whenever you start to grow. During this conversation, the three of us explore: Why progress always feels uncomfortable just before the breakthrough The psychological “thermostat setting” that pulls you back to your old identity Why we self-sabotage even when life is improving How fear of success shows up just as strongly as fear of failure Why we often avoid doing the simple things we know will help The importance of raising your standards instead of lowering your goals Why discipline matters more than motivation How to push through the discomfort of levelling up How our friendship dynamic has shaped our personal growth Real, lived examples of battling self-limiting beliefs at different stages of life What makes this episode so special is that it’s a conversation between three people who know each other extremely well. You’ll hear the banter, the honesty, the challenges we’ve given each other over the years - and the real moments where each of us admits the exact beliefs we still wrestle with. Even though this isn’t specifically about weight loss, I want you to listen with your own journey in mind. Every single limiting belief we discuss appears in weight loss too - the fear of change, the fear of slipping back, the voice in your head telling you that you can’t do it, or that you don’t deserve the version of yourself you’re trying to become. And if there’s one thing I want you to take away from this episode, it’s this: You don’t stop meeting devils as you grow. You just get better at recognising them - and walking past them anyway. This is one of the most honest, dynamic and insightful chats we’ve had on the podcast, and I can’t wait for you to dive into it.

  • Healing, Hunger & Hope: Evy’s Journey From Survival Mode to Self-Worth

    Healing, Hunger & Hope: Evy’s Journey From Survival Mode to Self-Worth
    Nov 25 2025
    EP168: Healing, Hunger & Hope: Evy’s Journey From Survival Mode to Self-Worth In this powerful episode of the Weight Loss Warrior Podcast, I sit down with Evy - a wellness and lifestyle creator from Colorado whose weight loss journey is unlike anything we’ve shared before. Evy’s story begins in a childhood defined by instability, trauma and food being used as control. Growing up in a Mexican household, pressured to finish oversized adult plates, and later navigating homelessness, foster care and parental addiction, she learned to survive in an environment where food wasn’t nourishment — it was anxiety, scarcity and fear. Her journey from survival mode to healing isn’t just inspiring — it’s extraordinary. We talk about: How being forced to finish meals and facing food scarcity shaped her relationship with eating The emotional impact of homelessness, caring for her siblings and living in survival mode How foster care finally gave her stability — but left lasting subconscious habits How her husband gently helped her unlearn the “finish your plate” trauma Why healing means remembering what happened — not pretending it didn’t Her shift from processed foods to whole foods and understanding that food is fuel The dramatic lifestyle changes sparked by her husband’s diabetes diagnosis How she learnt about oils, metabolism, supplements and fibre from a diabetes doctor Her natural 40-pound weight loss through daily movement, changing ingredients and community How she built a free online workout group that now supports women worldwide Why authenticity matters more to her than sponsorship deals or quick money Her goals for the future: health, confidence, community growth, modelling and acting Evy’s honesty, strength and compassion shine through every part of her journey. She’s proof that trauma can shape you, but it doesn’t have to define you. If you’re rebuilding your relationship with food, trying to break old patterns, or learning to trust yourself again… this episode will speak directly to you.
