Navigating Weight Loss & Impressive Entrepreneur Wins with Gina Livy

Today's guest is the wonderful Gina Livy. 

 Over the years I have received a lot of DMs from people asking me if I know Gina, if I'm familiar with her work and her weight loss approach. And my answer is always a resounding yes. 

And after today's conversation, I'm an even bigger fan than I was before. 

 We talk about her approach to weight-loss  in today's episode, BUT also get into her evolution as an entrepreneur, and getting told countless times that she’s charging TOO LITTLE for what she offers. But as you'll hear,  she came out on top - building a multimillion dollar business (we’re talking over 8 figures) - and she did that by following her gut. 

***And I want to make the point that we do talk about weight-loss in this episode, and it can be a tricky subject to navigate. Especially because we just talked about body image last month on this very show. But I think it’s important to note that the two subjects are not synonymous. Weight does not correlate with worth, and I want to recognize that there are a lot of unhealthy obsessions and messaging about weight that we still hear about today.

But the fact remains that some of us, at different points in our lives, might want to take steps to lose weight for a variety of reasons. And it’s important when that choice is made, to lose weight in a sustainable, healthy way and not some extreme crash diet that most of the time does NOT work. There are many healthy, sustainable ways to do it, and Gina’s Method, I believe, is one of them.

We're covering:

• Gina's own journey with weight loss
• What the Livy Method is
• an underrated factor when it comes to successful weight-loss
• navigating online hate when running a weight loss business
• building a massive business and going from a team of 1 to a team of 47
• Gina's feelgood thing
• Gina's advice for any entrepreneur battling doubt
