Transform Your Life with Teresa and Tonya
It’s Not Your Weight—It’s Your Mindset: Why Transformation Starts Inside
In this deeply vulnerable episode of Transform Your Life, Teresa and Tonya peel back the layers of weight loss, self-worth, and emotional healing—and reveal the truth many avoid: your mindset is everything.
They dive into how negative self-talk, trauma, and toxic environments shaped their early thoughts and behaviors—and how those unchecked thoughts led to decades of emotional eating, binge cycles, and self-sabotage. Teresa opens up about her “aha moment” with a doctor who finally treated her trauma instead of her weight. Tonya shares how small daily mindset shifts helped her escape years of self-blame and negativity.
This isn’t about diets, workouts, or willpower. It’s about reprogramming the beliefs that shape your entire life—and realizing that your weight was never the real issue.
