How I Lost 18 Emotional Pounds Without Changing My Diet or Exercise – My Bumpy Personal Weight Loss Story

Why does your weight stubbornly refuse to budge, even when your diet and activity are “perfect”? In this episode, I share my own fascinating weight loss and weight gain story, revealing how emotions (not just calories or exercise) shape your body more than you think. If you’ve ever wondered why eating healthy and staying active isn’t always enough, this episode will challenge everything you believe about weight. The real answer might surprise you and make you rethink the root of your weight struggles for good.

Topics Discussed:

• How emotions and energetic states control weight gain and loss, even with healthy habits
• The spiritual and energetic layers behind “stubborn” fat, and why spot treating is possible
• How your body communicates through fat storage and what those signals mean
• My personal story: rapid weight changes from emotional triggers, not food or activity
• Using intuition and energetic awareness to decode your body, overcome sister wounds, and finally feel safe enough to lose weight

Weight loss isn’t just about what you eat or how you move; it’s about how safe you feel inside your body. This episode offers a proof-backed formula, real-life examples, and practical steps to unlock your next breakthrough. When you master your emotions, your body responds. Your transformation starts within.

Welcome back to the Rooted Within Podcast. My name is Mickey, founder and CEO of Old Family Health. This is where ancient wisdom and modern science come together, a return to wholeness, led by the wisdom that has always lived within you. Hello, you guys, and welcome back to another wonderful, wonderful episode. Before we get started today, which we are talking all about my own weight loss, weight gain story, I have a major reflection that I went through earlier this year that I want to share about. Now that it's kind of over, I've dissected it all. I always come back with the goods for you guys. But before we get started, I wanted to tell you guys about a really beautiful opportunity that we are gifting others right now. So we are so excited about this podcast, and we would love it if you guys were able to write a review, maybe share something that you guys have learned, maybe share what you guys are taking away the most. And if you write a review, we are gifting a self-love meditation and it is so good. It's 24 minutes. I have created it from the depths of my soul, and it all came to me one day, and it just is so beautiful and really walks you through how to love yourself for who you are, where you are. It really allows you to kind of do some time traveling in it. So we are gifting this self-love meditation to those that write a review because we want to get this podcast out to as many people as possible. I believe in this work so much. I believe in what I am doing here in following my soul purpose and my calling. And I want to gift these episodes. I want to get these episodes out to as many people as possible. And so your reviews really truly mean so much to us as we try to push this podcast out to as many people as possible. Okay, now that we have that out of the way, we are going to get started with this weight loss reflection and story. And I gotta give some background context. We have uh quite a few other weight loss podcast episodes. So if this is an obstacle that you are dealing with, that a friend's dealing with, maybe your husband's dealing with, we have a few that we will link up in the show notes that are going to give you some background context on kind of how weight loss works in the spiritual world. Now, we know how it works in the human societal world, right? It is, you know, eat this way, eat this diet, move your body this specific way, count your calories, do the Atkins diet, whatever you're into. It is most likely that those things have not worked for you. It is most likely that you have quote unquote tried all the things and your weight has not budged. And there is a very, very specific reason for that. And we help clients with this all the time. There are layers and layers and layers that really hinder the body from letting go of weight. And if you're interested in some of those layers, kind of how it works on a spiritual energetic component, go back to some of those other episodes. It's gonna break those down for you. I even break down different fat areas in the body. Maybe you're trying to lose a little bit of weight in your arms or in your butt or in your stomach. There is a reason why you are collecting fat in those specific areas. You can, you know, spot treat for fat loss. Uh, despite what everybody tells you, you absolutely can spot treat for fat loss. It's all a story. It is all a story your body is trying to tell you. Once you understand the story, it becomes very easy to kind of change the emotional state that you are in that is then moving the matter, moving the cells, and creating your physical reality, your physical appearance. But again, once you understand the story, you can start to change your energy so that you no longer have that broadcast and you will no longer have fat in those specific areas. So it's really fascinating. Like I said, we have had hundreds and hundreds of client success stories. We have gotten this down to honestly a science with our intuition, how precise we can be, the details, the percentages, all of it. There is so much that we have uncovered, we have figured out with working with so many people that it truly is a formula. Once you put in the correct ingredients, put in the right formula, your body is always working with you. End of story, the end, period. Your body is always trying to help you out. It's always trying to communicate to you. And all your body wants is to be heard. It wants to be acknowledged, it wants to be taken care of. And like I said, we have this down to a science of how to translate the body stories and how to change the energy within your field to get different desired results. So, all of that being said, go check out those other episodes. Today, I'm gonna actually share a little bit about my personal weight loss story and weight gain story. Like I said, it's really, really fascinating. And I love just pulling back the curtains for you guys and showing you guys how it looks for somebody that's been in this for 10, 11, 12 years and how the energetics work and how the physical works and all of it. You can create so fast and you can uncreate so fast when you understand the universal laws, you understand how energy works, you understand how your emotional states literally move matter. They move your cells, they create your physical reality. This is just another area of life that we can tackle with these skill sets, with this knowledge and all the integration exercises that we do to be able to have mastery over it. So, all that being said, I don't have an insane weight loss story. I, you know, started in my teens. I've always just kind of been active. My family actually grew up eating rather healthy. We never ever had soda in the house. And still to this day, I don't think I've drank soda in maybe 15, 17 years. I pretty much drank water or sparkling water. And I do think that those early years of childhood, like what you were around, is a huge component of what you crave as an adult. So I will also say that, but we ate pretty well. We did. And I was always in sports. I played basketball, I played softball, I played volleyball, I tried out track for a hot minute. Like I have always been active. I tried to run. You want to know a little fun fact about me is I once signed up for a half marathon with my best friend because she did half marathons all the time. And I was just so confident. I was like, oh yeah, I got this. Like, I'm gonna train a little bit. You know, those like couch to 10K, couch to have marathon schedules floating around, right? You'd like take the graphic, you'd print it off, and then you'd post it on your fridge and you'd follow the little workout. And they even had like those fancy apps that were like run, and then after a while it'd be like walk. So I followed all those and I really I did like a half-ass job. I really did. I did not because I hated it. I hated running, I hated running so much, so I slacked. And we did this half marathon downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin. If you're from Wisconsin, it's this giant city, and it was so tough, and I got a horrible time, but I completed it and I was so proud of myself and I have not ran since. And let me think of how old I was. Maybe 20, 21 was the last time I ran. You will not catch me running. I will be walking, but I will not be running ever again in my life. Okay, now that you know that about me, we have always eaten well though. We have always exercised. I shouldn't say that. Early on in our marriage, Tyler and I got into a really unhealthy space. So we were eating really crappy foods because he was traveling almost an hour to go to his doctorate program. He was in doctorate school, and I was going almost an hour the opposite direction to finish my degrees. So we were splitting up for the day. We had a house in the middle, and we both drove an hour opposite ways and then would come home every single day together. And we ate like crap. We ate out so much, actually. We had Buffalo Wild Wings probably once or twice a week. We were so lazy. We had jalapeno cheez-its, like it was just a kind of fend for yourself moment. We were very newly married. I got married when I was 22. So, did I know how to cook? I had no idea how to cook, which is actually quite funny when you think back because my entire business before this one was recipes and it was creating an app for whole foods and scratch cooking. So I am a complete self-taught cook, and I love that about myself because it was really fun learning and teaching and starting from literally scratch, having no idea how to cook. And it's been really fun to watch myself evolve over the years. But we ate like crap, and then I did this little half marathon stint. Okay, we're going all over the place with time here. So I did this half marathon, and then Tyler and I got into this like, we really need to get healthy. We need to really put a lot of time and energy into health. And this was the start of us really looking at ingredients. I think back to this time, and it's absolutely hilarious because when I was in college, right, we went both our separate ways. I would get those like mango naked drinks, right? And I thought I was so healthy. I'd get like triskets and those mango naked drinks, which are sugar bombs. There are so many grams of sugar in those naked drinks. And oh my gosh, the stuff that we thought was healthy back then is just it's hilarious. So we started to really try to watch our food. And I even, oh my gosh, we were so broke because neither of us were working. Like we did little odds and end jobs. I remember once that when we were trying to move out and we were trying to move back home, like towards where we came from, like we were into high school, Appleton, all of this stuff. And we were trying, now that like I was graduated, we were trying to move back. So I remember we sold our washing machine, and the guy came to pick it up, and he was just real shady. And we like asked him for X amount. I don't remember how much it was. And EP's like, oh, I only have this amount, this is what we'll take. But we were so broke that we were like, okay, fine, whatever. Looking back, we should have been like, no, we said we needed this full amount. You know, he was a scammer, but we took it, and I remember we were just so broke. We took it and we actually went out to sushi and we blew a lot of it. And oh, okay, we're like going off on a tangent right now. Bring it back, Megs, bring it back. So, anyways, we were broke, but we were trying. And then we made this pact. We continued on our health journey. We got gym memberships when we moved back home. And we made this pact because we were gonna start trying for kids soon. I was one of those people that was like, impregnate me, you know, seven years ago. I am born to be a mother, I want children right away. And he was more logical, being like, we should probably have jobs, we should probably have a paycheck. And I was eye roll. I don't need to be logical, which is so, so fitting to my personality. Anyways, we were starting to try for kids soon. And so we made this pact that we were going to lose all the weight we had gained in college and be our most healthiest self before we ended up getting pregnant. So that's what we did. We really went balls to the walls. We lost a ton of weight. I think I lost 20 pounds. He lost, I don't even know what he lost, but we were both in shape, very much in shape, and really starting our nutrition journey of understanding food labels, understanding the corruption in the food industry. Like this is where it all started, which is so fun to think back on. And then, you know, I went and evolved, and we ended up having Brooks, our oldest. We ended up having the next one. And my food journey just kept on. I started getting deeper and deeper where I actually created that's what my whole entire Instagram page was talking about preservatives, was talking about food dyes, was educating mothers on how to create a healthier home. It was all about healthy habits. I literally have so much footage, so many videos of teaching people literally in the grocery store. Tyler would film me and I'd be like, look at this ingredient, look at this oil. And that was just like my heart. That was where my passion started. And so that definitely went and evolved. So, all that to say, I have been in this very healthy space for many, many, many years. And we eat really well. It is no secret. We are kind of nuts about food. We're nuts about the food that we eat, the ingredients, the water. Like, we have been doing this for so long. My kids don't know what fast food is. They've never been through a drive-thru. They didn't even know what McDonald's was until yeah last year or the year prior when they ended up going to school. And other people were like, Why do you not know what McDonald's is? And they like have never had it. And they have always just had like healthier alternatives to things. And that's just how we are. That's how we've been for 10, 15 plus years. So it's really not weird or different for our family. And I don't mean for that to be like gloating or anything like that, but it really helps to understand what I'm about to share within reflections for you and helps you to understand our background and kind of where we came from. And again, it's not to be like, ooh, look at us. This has just been our lifestyle. This has been who we've been for 10, 15 years now. And so it's really, really ingrained into our neural pathways and just our lifestyle. Like, we don't have chips here, we don't have snacky food here. Other kids know when they come over, I'm feeding you carrots, I'm feeding you apples. Like that is just who we are as a family. And this is the point that we have gotten to as a family. So always have worked out, always have walked, always have eaten really, really well. Well, right before we left Wisconsin, we had a really, really big hardship that our family went through for about two years. And maybe someday I will get into it. It was one of the hardest things our family has ever been through. It was emotionally draining. It was a lot of fight or flight. It was a lot of testing our boundaries. It was really, really, really radical. And like I said, maybe it's not my story to share, otherwise, I would have shared it already. So maybe at some point, I hope, I pray that we get to a point where it can be verbalized. It's just not the right time. But what you guys can take away from it is that we were in a really tough spot and I gained so much weight. I gained probably 10 to 12 pounds during that time. And why this is important, why I shared all that, is because my eating did not change. I didn't like fall off the bandwagon and start eating processed foods. At that time, I was still filming recipes. I was still very heavily into whole foods. And so my eating did not change at all. My working out and being active, like I had three kids under the age of at one point five, you know, and then as they aged, you know, do the math. But we've always been very active. Our kids are outside 24-7. So, you know, my working out, my activity level did not change. What changed my emotions, right? My ability to feel like I could handle things, my regulation, all of that. And what people don't realize is that weight gain or weight loss, if you are an older soul, if you are somebody that is very high frequency, it is mostly emotional based. It is mostly that your body is holding on to weight to protect itself. Okay. And despite you guys knowing all the tools, despite having a trained intuition, I had a trained intuition before we left Wisconsin. I had a trained intuition for many, many, many, many years now. Despite having a trained intuition, it was still really hard. It was still very jarring to my nervous system. So I was still overcompensating within my body and holding on to weight because I did not feel safe inside my body. Okay. I did not feel safe at all inside my body. I was working really hard, working very hard to regulate myself daily, but it was a test every single day. It was a test. Okay. So all that to say I had gained that weight back. As soon as we left for Utah, we got to Utah, nine months in, eight to nine months in, I think seven to eight to nine months in, I had lost 12 pounds. Okay. I had lost 12 pounds. And again, when we moved to Utah, nothing changed. I didn't feed my family any different. I did not eat any different. We have eaten the same the entire time. Okay. Cannot stress that enough. If anything, there is like zero opportunities to eat anything out here because where we live, we're really high up in this tiny little mountain town. We don't have Target here. We don't have like any of the places that we would normally shop at in the bigger city we lived in back home. So nothing changed. Okay. Like nothing also changed with my movement. I still went on my country walks that you guys see, all of that. But over the course of seven to nine months, I had lost these 10 pounds. Why? Because I was not battling as much of the constant fight or flight. I wasn't feeling like I was unsafe in my body as much as I did back home. Okay. That is because when we were back home, there was a lot of memories anchored to different environmental cues. There was a lot of what we were going through constantly in our face, within people, within relationships, within the environment, within the house we were living in, all of those types of things. There was a lot that was going on. And when we left, it was a reset. It was a reset almost for our energy where we weren't constantly bombarded by memories and interactions and all these other things. And like I said, I still had the tools, but it was still very hard. So we get to Utah and I'm like rapidly losing weight. Again, not doing anything different. You can bet your bottom dollar. I do not count my calories. I do not do any of that. I just like eat whole foods. We eat whole foods. And with intuition, we've talked about before, you can count your macros, you can get down to a science of how much protein. And I do, I hit those numbers. Like I said, I've been doing it for so long that it's a non-issue in my life. Like it's something that is such a non-declarative memory that it's not something that takes up any brain space in my life because, again, it's the way that we have acted for 10 to 15 years. And Tyler and my kids, we all eat the same. So there's also not that battle of like, ooh, Tyler's going out and getting this or he's getting that. And now I have to sit and watch him eat him. Like we kind of all collectively chose to have this lifestyle. I guess Tyler and I did, you know, first and foremost, many, many years ago. And so because we are such a united front on this, then, you know, the kids just don't have an option because we don't buy any of the other different foods. And I can already hear somebody. Whose thought is this? That we just talked about the law of all, which is a really interesting universal law talking about if you're all one way, you're gonna push your kids to like if you dig your heels and you are very adamant in one direction, you're gonna have your kids one or more dig their heels in the opposite way. And it's a way that the universe balances everything out. And we just did a whole webinar on it. It was a parenting webinar. It was so good. So if you haven't heard that one, email in, we'll get you the link for sure. But I can already hear somebody be like, you guys have to deal with that. We don't. And the reason why is because we are not like, ooh, we can't have treats. We have treats all the time. It's just homemade. Like I make brownies from scratch and we use maple syrup and honey instead of sugar. And we have sourdough bread all the time. So nobody feels like they're left out. It's just all upgraded ingredients, was like the motto of my entire business. So We don't feel like we're left out because we still eat out. We just eat out at like restaurants that have local ingredients from the farm next door or whatever. So we still enjoy the crap out of food. We are a huge foodie family. That is probably where the biggest bill comes, like the that's the biggest pillar of our budget is food. And I will do that all day because I love food. I love high quality food. And that's just something that we have chosen to have in our life. But it doesn't push anyone to go the opposite way because they're not feeling that left out. Like we're not sitting there going, Oh, you can never have dyes, right? Because when they go to school and they get a sucker, they get a dye and it's not a big deal. I'm not sitting there freaking out about it. I'm not going, oh my gosh, this is horrible. Now we got to detox. We do none of that if they have, you know, junk food other places. That's totally fine. Like, I don't care. We both don't care. And so we kind of skate by that law with understanding how it works, mastering it, and then also making sure nobody feels like there is a lack there and feeling like, you know, it's a do or die situation if they were to go have food dye or they were to go have like a nasty little slushie, right? And Tyler does when they are out. He will be the first one to buy them a slushie at the trampoline park or something like that. I would never, but Tyler does. And even though he eats clean, we have that like whole situation going on at home. He will love to do that as well. So that's that a little bit about that law. I just heard that thought coming through. So, anyways, back to what we were talking about, nothing changed. And I continue to lose 16, 18 pounds now since we have been in Utah. Again, I did not eat any different. I have not moved my body any different. My emotional state has continued to be elevated. It's continued to be refined. My energetic field, I've gotten to know more and more each and every single day how to tweak this to make this. Like I have become a master of my own craft and I have upgraded it every single day. Every single day I'm getting better and better and better and better and understanding the ties and the laws and bringing them forth to you better every single day. So what happened? Okay, so everything was going great. I was at the lowest I've ever been, probably since I got pregnant with Brooks 10 years ago. Okay. And again, didn't change one single thing. And this really bothers people. When I put this on an Instagram story, I have people, one person in particular, who gets really triggered by this type of content. And she is a fitness instructor and whatnot, and she keeps going like, This is impossible. You are telling people impossible things. And I'm like, ugh, whatever, not true. Most people have a hard time wrapping their head around this, right? Because we have been so indoctrinated to feel like weight loss only comes from restricting your calories, only comes from the way you eat, the way you move your body. And it's just not the full picture. It's just not the full picture. But you got to remember that if you are not sitting at a certain consciousness level or a certain frequency level, your brain will literally not understand or resonate with this type of information. Okay. So really interesting to think of when you're maybe out talking to people about this or somebody's dealing with a weight issue and you bring up like emotions, if they're not resonating with it at all, if they feel like it's crazy, either A, you were supposed to be planting a seed for them to kind of have some trail or like breadcrumbs to follow later on, or B, their body is just not going to resonate with this type of high frequency information because they're just not there yet in their soul growth. So some things to keep in mind. So I was at my lowest. Come November 2025. So last November, I have a bunch of my girlfriends fly in for a retreat. Okay. And we are all staying together at this Airbnb, and they are all intuitives like I am. They're all healers like I am. They're all so, so very gifted, so talented. I am like jaw on the floor when I'm around them. And we spend an entire weekend together, and it was the best weekend ever. Like to be surrounded with people that have the same energy as you, that have the same just like zest for life, the same passion, the same understanding of laws, the same all of that. It is so stinking fun to be together. Okay. And we already talk every day, all day, but to be in person with each other's energy, it is like no other. And actually, when you guys hear this air, I will be with them again. And it's gonna be so much fun. So when this is actually airing, you can think of me because I'm gonna be with my friends that weekend as well. They're all flying back to Utah. Okay, so we're at this retreat, this little Airbnb, and I leave feeling so fulfilled, right? I'm like, oh my gosh, I love them. This is our first time meeting in person. I am so amazed by this work, laddie-daddy da. I'm like riding a high. And as the weeks progress, I have this little thought that I didn't catch right away. It was sitting in my energy field and had to get really loud because I wasn't paying attention that I was feeling this way. So a couple weeks go by, right? We're like into November, and I am starting to feel a lot of just lack inside the area of life, which was business. Okay. And I was starting to feel like, you know, like what I'm doing is not enough, right? And I was starting to get into this like really big scarcity where I was starting to feel a little, I don't know, just like not as passionate. And I was just in lack. Like I was just feeling like I wasn't doing enough. I wasn't offering enough. I wasn't being enough. I wasn't enough. That was like the root of it. And it took me a little bit to realize that that was stemming from being with the girls that weekend. And I was feeling like, holy crap, they have all these really incredible gifts. Like they are doing some massive things out in the world. And our gifts are all very different, by the way, which is what is so beautiful is that we all have very different intuitive gifts, different like niches. We all kind of cater to different people and different groups of people and have different passions, and we're all very, very different. And I was starting to feel like, oh my gosh, their gifts are so cool. I innately think my gifts are amazing. Like, I truly typically think that I am so unique and so special. Those are ingredients in my energetic field that are very, very loud, typically. Being around a group of other intuitives and my friends, I didn't realize that I was walking away that weekend feeling like I wasn't as unique and special as them. Like I was a little jealous. I was a little like, oh my gosh, look what they can do. I didn't learn that skill. Or oh my gosh, look what they can do. I'm not like as interested in that skill. And so I started to have this embedded into my energy field. And over time, it was just popping up in all these different areas. I should have written down, I probably did somewhere the reflection, but I started to have different body symptoms closer to Christmas. So you think of how long this was sitting in my energy field, just like quietly bubbling up. And closer to Christmas, I was having a lot of like brain fog and just like I could tell that my vision, my vision was getting blurry. And if you haven't heard me talk about this before, you truly should never need glasses. That is something that is one of the easiest things to fix energetically, whether you're nearsighted or far-sighted. Eyes and like how you see it can quite literally, if my eyesight is starting to get blurry, that is such an easy course correction. So, some energetic translations will just throw in for you guys today. Farsightedness is feeling like you don't like seeing what life looks like right now, and nearsightedness, so you can see up close, is fear of the future. Okay, so interesting. So when you switch those ingredients, right? So if you're far-sightedness, if you start understanding how much you love your life right now and everything is perfect, and you're not, you know, just wanting to be in the future and be in a different thing, if you're really truly rooted to your presence, your eyes will start course correcting. So glasses really should never be a thing. And so interesting. But, anyways, I at that time was feeling like my eyes were starting to become a little bit blurry. And like I said, I create really fast, you guys, because I've been doing this for so long. I can feel a certain way and have a body symptom the next day or the day. Whether or not I'm paying attention enough to like the micro, micro, maybe it's just like a tiny 1% shift in blurriness, or I wait until it's louder, like a 20% shift in blurriness. That's a different story, just because you know, human and have so much going on. But my eyesight was starting to become a little bit more blurry. And then also, like I said, I was having a little bit of brain fog. And those were the oh my gosh, what the heck is going on? I'm annoyed. I'm gonna sit down and figure this out. And so lo and behold, it was a multi-level reflection, but at the very, very, very root of it. Even you guys, what is so insane with intuition and having a scientifically accurate, precise intuition is I can clock to a T of when the reflection first originated. I can to a T get down to the day of when my reflection first originated, when it first was birthed. And I think that is what I did is I pulled the how many days I've been in it. And then what I like to do is I like to go back into my phone and be like, what was going on? Or if I don't know right off the calendar, right? I'll like go back and text and kind of like trail it back like a detective case. So fascinating. Tyler and I's like text threads are gold for reflection finding because we talk all day long every day, and I just remember a little like, oh, I was triggered here, triggered there, blah, blah, blah. It's really great for digging around with reflections. But I get within the date of when I was at that retreat and I was like, ugh, makes so much sense. Like it wasn't loud in my face. Oh, I'm jealous of these girls. They're so amazing. They're my best friends. Like, I didn't consciously have those thoughts. If anything, I was like, they are so incredible. I love them so much. They're making such a difference in the world. I am so happy for them. I love them in my life. Like, those are my conscious thoughts. Layers and layers and layers deep were this little, like, oh my gosh, they're better than I am. They're more special than I am. They have stronger gifts than I am. They're teaching this to these people and this to these people. And I don't have that skill. Those were the underlying sub-conscious thoughts that were starting to bubble up. And because I was settling, right? I wasn't speaking kindness to myself. And it was starting to make me feel like maybe I'm not unique and special on a very small percentage level. And because that's not in my sole purpose, right? My sole purpose is to radically be myself, to be my authentic self, to love myself, to bring forth this high frequency information for you guys and teach it and teach you guys intuition and teach you guys all these laws and things like that. I can't do that if my electromagnetic field is not up to par, right? So my body steps in and guess what? I gain six to eight pounds. Literally, I gain within that time period I was dealing with that multi-level reflection. I gained at my most eight pounds. And it is just so, so mind-boggling to me that I didn't change how I was eating, right? I even remember telling Tyler, I was like, I literally am eight pounds heavier than I was a month or six weeks ago. And he was like, Well, have you been eating different from the holidays? I was like, No, we don't do anything. We didn't go home for Christmas. That would have been a different story. Like grandma's, you know, what does she make? She makes the potato salad. You got your home cooking back home. We didn't go home. I think we made one batch of Christmas cookies. And other than that, we don't eat treats. Like, I didn't have any hot chocolate. I don't really like hot chocolate. I don't really like sweets. There was nothing. And I was just like, this is so wild. It's so all based off emotions. Again, back to that feeling of I don't feel safe. My body was kind of tense and holding because I was not being my authentic self. Can you guys start to see that? I was not being my authentic self because I was sitting in jealousy. I was sitting in, oh, other people are better than me. Oh, other people's businesses are so special, so unique. They have this going on and this going on. And I was sitting in a little bit of that, like, oh, they're better than me. And like they have more figured out than me. They are catering to this group of people. And, you know, their skill sets are so cool. I lost sight of how special and unique I was. And because I wasn't feeling special and unique, my body was feeling really unsafe because I wasn't being myself. I wasn't being my true core authentic self. And lo and behold, I gained eight pounds. And I didn't even know I gained eight pounds. I just was starting to put my jeans on like normal. And like slowly they were just getting harder to button. I was like, what the H is going on? Like, what is going on? And then I started to catch on and I was like, oh, I see, I see, I see, I see. But as you can tell, if I didn't have my intuition, I wouldn't have been able to even find that root, root, root little micro, tiny jealousy. I'm not feeling unique and special feeling because, like I said, consciously, consciously, I was feeling so happy to be with them. I was feeling like I loved them so much. I loved seeing them. I loved being with them. You know, we talk all day, every day. It was so great to be in their energy. That's where my conscious mind was at. I wasn't in awareness that I was starting to have some of those little bubbling up feelings. Okay. That is why intuition is the biggest flex in life, is because you can understand why reflections are happening and even use it to go back to the original date where you can start. It's like a detective case, honestly. It's like you're mapping stuff out to try to figure out when did you start having this emotional imbalance? How do you get out of it? What are you even feeling? Because as humans, we have zero emotional awareness and we don't even know what we're feeling within those moments unless you are a fruitcake like I am and love this stuff, and this is your jam, and like emotional regulation is your jam and emotional intelligence and hacks and memory rewriting. Unless that is like your ultimate passion in life, like it is mine, you probably don't have a lot of the mastery of these skill sets, the knowledge, and the integration. And that is what I see when I am working with clients is they don't know what they're feeling, right? They don't know why they're feeling a certain way. They don't understand why they're triggered, they don't get the law of reflections, they don't understand how your emotional state literally creates your reality. And it's hard. It's hard. Like I just went through that entire story, and even I, without intuition, I never would have caught it. So now that I'm out of the reflection, I am way back under where I was before, lost the eight pounds. Plus, I am at now the ultimate lowest weight I have ever, ever been. And like I said, I have not changed how I've been eating. I have not changed how I've been moving my body. And yet my weight has kind of gone through this really, you know, fluctuating roller coaster for the last couple of years. And guess what? It's all been based on my emotional state. What I've been telling myself, the narratives, the feelings I've been having, the lack, the scarcity, the limited mindset, even like the most micro situations possible. And I will also say that also what played into that, which I don't think we've ever talked about on the podcast. But over the years, I would still say, and like 80% have solved this wound. So there is still some definite work I have to do. But I have had major sister wounds as well, like women wounds, ever since I've been a small child. I have felt way more comfortable having male friends than girlfriends. Like I have been working really hard on that wound, but growing up in middle school, high school, like I, two of my best friends that I've ever had since we've been like two and three years old have been male. Like they are my best, best, best guy friends. And I just get along better with guys. I can talk better with guys. They're so down to earth. And I just have had a real sister wound, meaning that I have a little timidness and nervousness when I am in a group of women. Like I'm not yet a gal's gal. Like I am really working on that wound, and I have been for a long time. And I have gotten so much better at it and it have improved so much. But that also played into being at the retreat with all these women. It brought up a lot of memories of childhood and, you know, like the nasty girl fights that I found myself in in middle school. Like I was in the quote unquote popular group. I was in all the groups. You know what I was? I was the friend that had friends in all the groups. And then I would be that person that was like, we are going somewhere with one group. And I'd be like, oh, can't these three from another group tag along? Like I just like always blended all the groups, and then I'd get like the roll of the eyes, or like, oh, why would you do that? Like they were not cool with me inviting a mishmash of people. And I just continued to roll with it because I was like, why can't we all hang out? Like I was that friend that had friends everywhere. But the quote unquote popular group, ooh, they did a number on me in middle school. Like they just Christian, not even Christian, Catholic girls in sixth, seventh, and eighth grade, ooh, they were mean. I really truly feel like the hardcore religious groups, they just are like a little bit of a level up, you know. I remember in seventh grade giving this girl Mackenzie, that is her true name, gave her my school picture. Remember when you had those little school pictures? And she quite literally came up to my locquer and cut it into a million pieces by my feet. Oh, the lessons! The lessons of self-love have started young and early for me, guys. This is why this is why I can master it at this age, because man oh man, did we have those situations going on in middle school? So, anyways, that was also tied into this retreat. And like I said, and we were just talking about this in our webinar. You can feel like you're healed, healed, healed, healed, healed, healed. And then you go back to a similar environment. Like in our webinar, we were talking about, oh, I'm so healed. And then you fly home for Christmas and you're like walk away, being like, I am the most unhealed version of myself. They have triggered me so much, I am nowhere near where I thought I was. You can start to have those thoughts, right? Same thing for the situation. Like I went in being like, oh my gosh, I've got this. Like a room full of women, 30 women, like I'm totally fine. And then leave being like, what? I don't know. That just kind of rocked me a little bit. And like I said, it was all subconscious, right? Consciously, I was like off in the clouds. Subconsciously, I was like, oh my gosh, I'm a little nervous. This brings back a lot of like stuff for me. I need to work through. So we've actually never talked about that. I don't think anywhere. I'm not sure. I like to wait till I'm full hundred percent before I go around my mouth about my issues in life, but I'm pretty close. I'm 80%. I know the areas that I need to work on. And I also think that there's so many of you guys listening to the podcast that have similar issues with other women, like sister wounds. And I think it's something that we need to dive deeper into. And yeah, a little snippet of my story. All that to say, we kind of jumped around today. All that to say, weight gain and weight loss uh for most of you listening is going to be. Emotional. It is going to be your body clinging and holding on to fat because it does not feel safe enough to let it go. And when you guys start to understand the universal and energetic laws and you start to create really fast, like me, I gained eight pounds in a couple of weeks, right? In like five to six weeks, I quite literally gained an entire pant size. It can happen that fast. And just like that, it has all fallen off of me just that fast as well. And you will see the very tangible reality change based on your emotional states. You will see the cells in your body move. And my gift in this lifetime, my gift, my soul's gift for many lifetimes, I should say, is reading the body. Like I can see inside the body. I can see what is energetically going on. So what I do is I go into my body a lot and we have conversations. And it is so hilarious. When I was talking with them, I was like, guys, what is going on? Why are we holding? And they were like clinging to the fat. Like they're like, we're not letting it go. And I was like, what is happening? Why are you acting like this? And they told me all the stories and sagas and like this moment and this moment. It was just so funny. They were literally holding on to it like they were had like a death grip onto the fat. And they're like, We're not listening to you. We're not letting it go. I don't care what you eat. I don't care what's happening. We're not letting it go. And they were so mad and like angry and feisty. And when you can go into your body and have these types of conversations, when you can see where they're holding fat, why they're holding fat, it's funny, it's comical, but it's also really enlightening because you can solve a lot of issues by having these types of conversations, getting the bigger picture. And then, like I said, learning how to course correct. So I have just been hearing with a lot of you guys that are listeners in my one-on-one appointment, feeling that frustration of I've tried everything, right? I've tried everything that people are saying is going to help with fat loss. I've tried to eat this way, I've tried to restrict this way, I've tried this, I've tried that, and it's not budging. That is because A, we'd have to look at the reflective components, right? There's multi-layers to this. We have to have an understanding of the energetic and universal laws. We have to have an understanding of how long this has been going on. We have to have an understanding of how fast you create, how fast you uncreate. We can start to predict some of these things and even see where your energetic body is, right? You always have an energetic body and you always have a physical body. We can see where your energetic body currently is at to see how the cells are moving, how the fat is moving in your physical body. So we can start to predict, oh, two months it's gonna take to get to this weight point, or one month it's gonna take to get to this. And there's all these things at play. Today, I just wanted to really start with that awareness piece of it will not always be the way you eat and the way you move. And we have just never talked about my personal story of kind of way back when, how we got started, and how nothing has changed besides the emotions for me. And it's all perfect, right? I'm supposed to be going through these emotional trials, right? Before we left Wisconsin. I was meant to go through that because it has absolutely upgraded my life a hundred times from where it was at. And all of these little things, right? The weight gain and then the weight loss and yada yada yada, all were life lessons for me. It all gave me a better understanding of holy crap, this is another instance with all the hundreds of clients' instances on how fast energy moves, on how much this is bulletproof. These theories, these universal laws, the way energy works. It is bulletproof. It is down to a science. It is an exact formula that we have gotten it to. And having my own life experiences and then being able to share them with you guys too is part of my sole purpose. It's part of showing up for you guys and allowing you guys to either get a seed planted or understand through storytelling, through my life experiences, what is possible for you. So if you are in a space where weight loss has been tricky, we have the formulas, we have the understandings, we have the universal laws, we can help you through this. We have a lot of free content on this. We have a free PDF, we'll link up in the show notes that tell you the different areas. Like I was kind of sharing earlier. It goes through the basic areas of where fat accumulates and what that basic story is. And we've got podcast episodes. When this launches, we will have had webinars on this and a live QA on this. So make sure to reach out if this is a sticky situation for you. If this is something that you're trying to work through and you want to gain a better picture of how this works and what the formula is, reach out to us. We can get you all these free resources in a nice email with all the links for you. We are here to help you guys. And I hope you guys got a little kick out of today's episode. And I hope you guys can relate to a lot of it. I actually know you guys are gonna be able to relate to a lot of it. So go ahead and write a review too. That would mean so, so much for us and getting this information out to so many different people. Okay, cannot wait to hear your insights and your thoughts. I hope you're having a wonderful day, and we will see you guys all next week.
