🎙️ EXTENDED EPISODE ALERT! 🎙️
Bari-Chatz with Nina & Pam of Bari-Bestiez is back with a powerful special you won’t want to miss! 💜❤️
We’re honored to welcome Ashlyn Douglass-Barnes, a nationally recognized bariatric therapist and a true success story — 13 years post-op and among the less than 3% of bariatric patients who’ve maintained 100% excess weight loss for over a decade. 💪✨
Ashlyn’s real-life journey fuels her passion for helping others navigate the emotional and mental side of bariatric surgery.
In this episode, Nina and Pam get raw and real alongside Ashlyn, opening up about some of the personal trauma that led them to seek therapy and how that decision became a turning point in their journeys. Together, they dive deep into the mental work that often goes unspoken — and why it’s essential for long-term success.
Ashlyn shares:
- How to heal your relationship with food and your body
- The hidden challenges no one talks about
- Why mental health support is crucial before AND after surgery
- How she trains other therapists to better serve our community
Ashlyn is the founder of a thriving group practice focused entirely on bariatric mental health, offering care that blends professional insight with personal experience. 🧠💙
🎧 Tune in to be inspired, uplifted, and reminded that success goes far beyond the number on the scale.
