How I Lost 20 lbs. at Age 50
At 49, I felt something shift. My dad had passed. My kids were growing up and heading off to college. I was inching closer to 50, and I started to wonder: What if I gave myself the gift of health for this birthday milestone - not through pressure or hustle, but through care and consistency?
In this episode, I'm not handing you a formula or a list of rules. Instead, I want to share what really happened - what I learned, what shifted, and what it looked like to change in small, 10% ways that actually felt doable.
I'll share
- How I moved from "just interested" to truly committed
- Why small, consistent actions (like 10 minutes of movement) made the biggest difference
- What changed in my mindset, and why it mattered more than any meal plan
- How I lost 20 pounds and gained energy, confidence and peace
- The powerful role community, coaching, and support played along the way
By the end, I hope you'll see what I now know for sure: You don't need a huge overhaul to change your health.
You just need one doable step. One new thought. One shift in belief.
If you're ready to feel stronger too, more energized, and more at peace in your body and mind, my 10% Healthier program was made for you.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
