Ep. 17 Reconnecting and Reflecting on the Journey

In this heartfelt and honest conversation, Nina and Pam open up about their personal weight-loss and bariatric surgery journeys—sharing the real highs, lows, and everything in between. They talk about the importance of remembering where you started, navigating insurance challenges, and managing the emotional rollercoaster that often comes with major life changes. 

Together, they dive into why documenting your journey matters, how nutrition and self-care play a critical role in long-term success, and how your “why” can evolve as you grow. Above all, they emphasize the power of community, mental health, and staying focused on your health—not anyone else’s timeline. 

Whether you’re just starting out or well into your journey, this episode is a reminder that it’s never too late to begin, consistency matters, and you are worth the effort.
