Isn't She Powerful
Welcome to the Isn’t She Powerful Podcast! My name is Laura Banks and I am the voice behind Isn’t She Powerful and the founder of the B.Healthy Lifestyle. Do you want to lose weight and finally begin feeling good in your body? You’re tired of looking at pictures of yourself and thinking “something’s gotta give, that is not cute.” Maybe you’ve tried all of the diets and nothing sticks and at this point you’re scared to start something new because you might fail just like you did all of the other times. Maybe you even feel like you need a friend in your corner to hold your hand through the changes you want to make so that you can make sure this time is different, this time you reach your goals while still doing and eating all of the things you love most! If yes, Isn’t She Powerful is the podcast for you! I help busy, working women (teachers, moms, nurses, lawyers, etc) who are new to the health and wellness space develop sustainable healthy habits so that they can lose weight and feel great in their clothes without ever going on a diet again. Inside this show, you’ll learn how to eat healthy meals without giving up all of the foods you love, like sweets or fast food. You’ll gain habits for sustainable, enjoyable exercise. I’ll teach you how to get great sleep, hit your water goal, and manage your stress in a way that feels good for you. And the best part? It won’t be just me! I am bringing all of my favorite health and wellness besties to the show so that you can really make the most of our time together each week. This podcast and my health coaching programs are a passion project for me because of my history with health and weight loss. I grew up eating the standard American diet and by the time I graduated college, I was living with some very unhealthy habits. The biggest problem for me, however, was that I didn’t know at all how to actually live a healthy life. I thought I had to slash my calories, workout all the time, and never eat things that I enjoyed ever again. Now I spend my days teaching women how to make healthy living sustainable and enjoyable.

The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark.
