The Lies Women Believe About Their Bodies Part 4: “I’ll Always Struggle With Food/My Body/My Weight”
February 22, 2025 • 12 mins
OUTWEIGH: The belief that food and body struggles are a life sentence keeps so many women stuck in cycles of frustration and self-doubt. In this episode, Amy and Leanne shine a light on why this story feels so true and how years of diet culture and negative self-talk make struggling feel “normal.” They’ll explore the brain’s role in keeping you stuck and share how small, consistent changes can rewire your patterns and beliefs for good.
Takeaway: Struggling doesn’t have to be your forever story. By understanding how your brain works and shifting your narrative, you can create a future where freedom with food and peace in your body are possible.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
I won't let my body out be outwait everything that
I'm made, don't won't spend my life trying to change.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
I'm learning love who I am again. I'm strong, I
feel free. I know every part of me. It's beautiful.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
And that will always out way if you feel.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
It with your hands and be here, She'll some love
to the food. Why have there take you one day?
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Ana?
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Did you and die? Out way?
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Happy Saturday?
Speaker 4 (00:35):
Outweigh Amy here and we are continuing with our series
the lies women believe about their bodies. We have been
at this for the last three Saturdays, and today is
the fourth Saturday.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
It's a four part series, so we are to the
fourth lie.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
The fourth lie, I will always struggle with food, my body,
my weight. Maybe all three of those resonate with you
as lies, or maybe you know just one of them
more too, but the lie I will always struggle with food,
my body, my weight. I know I certainly believe this
lie for a very long time. And the belief that
you are destined to have these thoughts about your body
(01:14):
and food and your weight is uugh Like I just
want to like scream from the rooftops. This is not
your destiny. There is so much more for you in
this world, and freedom is possible for you. I know
it may seem out of reach, but well I used
to think this lie, and now I know that there
is freedom. So I can speak from experience and I
(01:36):
want the same for you, and I hope to have
the same for myself. But as you know, Leanne, I
know things come and go, thoughts come and go. But
now we have the tools, and I've rewired my brain
to where if certain thoughts enter my brain, I can
shut them down a lot faster than I used to.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Yeah, and I think for the past few weeks, obviously,
everything we talk about here is with this this underlying
you know, compassion of just like, hey, you got this
way because you practice these beliefs. They were lies that
infiltrated your psyche and you didn't consciously believe them, and
there's ways to unbelieve them and believe new truth. This
specific belief is where we want to have the same
(02:12):
eyes of love and compassion. And this is my gentle
loving nudge where this is an up level and take
radical ownership of our ability to transform kind of belief
as well.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
You know where one.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Of the you know talking about this idea that we're
not stuck with our beliefs that we've had. We can
create new beliefs, right. And really the overarching message throughout
all of this series is you can, you know, brain
change and have it change a behavior your way till
the cows come home. But if you're believing your way
into a different reality, you're always going to end up
back in alignment with your beliefs, right. And so for
(02:45):
this one, I'll always struggle with food, my body, my weight.
This is where I feel like we have to kind
of and this is me giving you permission to do
this to yourself. We kind of have to metaphorically shake
ourselves by the shoulders as well and get to that
point where it's like, no, I am like I am
calling out this lie.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
I am unbelieving this lie.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
I refuse to believe that I am destined to fight
this endless battle, right and that this is just how
it is going to be for me. And you know,
if I were to bottom line it, like one of
the things that I share with my clients before we
even come together to work together, is this idea that
because here's the truth, or like if there is a
catch about healing this is the catch, right, Like every
woman that's trapped in a food and a body in
(03:22):
a shame prison, they all want to be free of that.
That is the dream come true. And I know for
me and all of my clients, we have these conversations
with ourselves every single day and we think like it's
a willpower thing, it's a discipline thing.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
I'm self sabotaging, there's something wrong with me. But the
real issue here is like it's a heart issue, it is.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Emotional, right, it's condition patterning. Most women have struggle with
this for years, if not decades, and it's become fired
and wired patterns in our brain that never got unwired
and rewired and then also got fired and wired alongside
food and so healing all of that it really is
just a choice. But it's finally got to be about
making that choice. And for me it was like I
(04:01):
had to get to that point where I was like,
this is no longer just about the food, this is
no longer just about the way. This is where I'm
no longer willing to be this shrunken, disempowered version of
myself that's sitting on the sidelines of my life, slowly
killing myself and keeping myself from living the life that
God designed me to be. Like, that's what I had
to make the choice to heal. And I wish somebody
had talked to me about it like that before, right
(04:23):
Nobody ever said like, Okay, Leanne, like this is what
you learn and we love you and we have compassion
for you, and now you have to draw the line
in the sand and commit to healing. And so there's
a couple things I want to say about that specifically,
or you know, but I want to hear what you
have to say about that.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
Well. I feel like last week we were talking about
you know, what you think about, you bring about what
you focus on growths. We kind of gave that mantra
that I hear in my meditations often, and I just
want to reiterate that that's oftentimes why things feel true
and why we think we're always gonna struggle with food
and bodies because we say in our head over and over,
(04:59):
I'm just a always going to.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Be this way a thousand percent.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
And so your brain.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
Believes what you tell it, believe it or not, and
when you tell it over and over, then it really
really believes it. But the beautiful thing is, is it
can unbelieve things. Yeah, but you have to start telling it.
And then that's my story, is that I had to
start telling myself. And it makes me think of acting
as If, almost as if you start to trick your
brain and you start to tell it. Actually, I'm not
(05:28):
going to always struggle with this. I have the ability
for freedom. I want to speak in more positive terms,
so I don't even want to.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Say I'm committed to healing.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
There you go, that's a more positive way to say it.
I'm committed to healing. Healing is possible for me. I
am going to do this. I am capable. Then you
don't have anything negative in there. And I am normal,
I am healthy, I am exactly as I am supposed
to be.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
And you may not.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
Believe that at first, but you just start telling yourself
that over and over, and it's not to lie to
yourself and ignore the other stuff that's going on.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
I like to look at that. For me, it was
like a little brain hack exactly.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Yeah, we actually, and this is a great time to
share you and I did a four part series called
Acting as If, where we laid out like what do
those brain hacks look like? And there's a cheat sheet
that goes along with it, So we'll link that in
the show notes as well. But everything that you said
is just so spot on, and I just want to
stack on that first. You know, when you say like
I am committed to healing this, then the brain immediately
goes like, Okay, well are you or like, well, what
(06:29):
is the plan?
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Like what is you know? So part of it too
is like we have to also radically.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Commit to taking care and solving the right problem, you know.
And so if I were to kind of bottom line
I said a minute ago, I was like, this is
where I kind of had to lovingly give myself a
shake on the shoulders, but like with love and compassion,
not this like you know, punitive kind of way of
like LeeAnne, you need to get it together, but like no, Leanne,
like this is a really big problem. It's not going
all way on its own, and you need to do
(06:55):
something radically different and you need help.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
You know. That was the first thing that I that
I said to myself.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
So if I were at a bottom line, what a
loving and compassionate but also like grounded and firm way
to kind of you know, give yourself a loving come
to Jesus if you will to wake up to like, hey.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
I'm not always going to be this way.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
I'm committed to my healing is like for me, this
is I'll just say what it looked like for me
and what it looks like for my clients, and the
patterns don't lie. Getting to that point where you know,
you're like, I'm at a stage in my life where
I know.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
That this cycle needs to end.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
And at the end of the day, for me, it
didn't have to be a deep, dark rock bottom, but
I had to get to that point where I realized that,
you know, whatever systems I was trying to use, or
like a food based approach or.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Whatever didn't work, didn't work for a reason, and I.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Wasn't going to go out another day without actually healing
the real problem. And getting to that stage where I
was like, Okay, Leanne, I love you, but enough is enough.
This monster has been around a long long enough, and
you've got to go change something from the root, not
just the symptoms anymore, and put it to bed for good, right.
And so it was the decisiveness and commitment. Like I
said earlier, this time it was different. It wasn't like, oh,
(07:57):
I'm going to go lose weight or I'm going to
control my eating or I'm going to stop controlling my
eating or whatever.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
It was not just about the food anymore. It was
about getting my life back.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
And I truly believe, and I've been doing this work
for you know, close to fifteen years, that you can't
do that alone, Like it's not a DIY job, because
you can't solve a problem with the same brain that
created it. And I want to bring this up too,
because it comes up so so often. One of the
number one things I hear is like, leanne, I've been
praying for God to take this away or I've just
been hoping that like time or age or wisdom would
(08:27):
take this away, right, And so part of it is
what I say to that is like, this is where
we have to use our own free will and we've
got to get off the definition of insanity of doing
the same thing over and over again. And maybe it's
got a different name and it's got a different meal
plan and Macros becomes you know, Caller County became.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Macros or whatever it is.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
And we've got to use our own free will and
do something different and invite God, the universe higher power
into that and use our free will to rewire our
brain right and get off that definition of insanity, because
the problem doesn't go away on its own.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
It actually festers and gets work.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
So if we don't address it, so acknowledging like I'm done,
like I'm going to move into healing, not just the
surface level stuff, and I can't do that on my own.
I need help and that is what's going to meet
your brain in this idea of like, oh wait, I
don't have to always struggle with this right, and I'm
committed to my healing.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
But that's going to give you your your brain.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
The prediction and response it needs to have that feel,
that belief, that new belief feel true.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
So I know that you have like an action that
could help with this. It involves writing down something that
you've overcome before and that helps you see it on
paper so that you can use it as evidence and proof.
And I think that that can be very powerful. And
when you write something down and maybe you put it
on your bathroom mirror or somewhere where you're going to
(09:44):
see it every day so you have that reminder, put
it as a screen saver on your computer maybe, or
your lock screen on your phone.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Absolutely like everybody has that one thing in their life
that they're like, oh my gosh, that was the hardest thing.
That was the hardest season, That was the hardest experience. Like,
start focusing on where you you are already an overcomer, right,
and connect to that energy of like, I am an overcomer,
I am a champion, I'm a warrior. I get through
stuff in a great way. I become better from this stuff.
(10:12):
These challenges that get thrown at me, they are seasoning
me and they've just made me better. And like, keep
coming back to that energetically and logically in your brain.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
Yeah, I love that so much. And just small consistent
changes or small consistent conversations with your brain can be
so powerful. It all adds up. It's kind of you
know when you think of people coming together to make
a difference, and you're like, oh, if I make a
dollar donation, it just really doesn't seem like it's that
(10:42):
big of an impact. But if you get a thousand
people to donate a dollar, that's one thousand dollars. So
if you get all the little parts of your brain
to rally together and do one little small thing, it
adds up. My point is, and you can make an impact.
It just takes time, It takes patience, but don't doubt yourself.
All those little dollar bills will come together and the
(11:05):
payoff is huge.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
I mean, the consistency over intensity is huge.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Let's say it's like you can't even put a dollar
amount on it.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Well, I'll just share something mathematically real quick. There's something
called the compound effect, right, where if I asked you, hey,
do you want me to give you a million dollars
in thirty days, or do you want me to give
you a penny compounded every single day for thirty days,
and compounded would be day one, you get one penny,
Day two you get two, Day three you get four,
then eight, then sixteen, then thirty two. And people are like, well,
give me a million dollars in thirty days. But if
(11:35):
you compound one penny for thirty days, it ends up,
and forgive the numbers, it's something along the lines of
like five million, two hundred thousand something compounded, right, And.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
So it's these teeny little things.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
The compound effect is what we're going for from the
consistency rather than the intensity. But most people approach their
struggles with intensity, and of course they fail because it's
not sustainable.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
I love that well, thanks Leanne.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Awesome.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
So final lie, or at least for this episode. I
feel like we could do a whole other series on
lies the women tell themselves. But this was the fourth lie,
the final part of the series for now. I'll always
struggle with food, my body, my weight, and Leane and
I are here to tell you you will not always struggle. Yeah,
there is a way out, and.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
We're calling out that lie loud and clear, lie, Lie Line.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Leanne, Where can people find you?
Speaker 1 (12:21):
If you want to see how I help women unpack
these lies and really lean into freedom in sixteen weeks,
head on over to Stressless seeding dot com and I've
just shared the system that I teach my.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Clients Awesome on socials.

We'll see you next Saturday.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Buy out. Wait bye
I won't let my body out be outwait everything that
I'm made, don't won't spend my life trying to change.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
I'm learning love who I am again. I'm strong, I
feel free. I know every part of me. It's beautiful.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
And that will always out way if you feel.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
It with your hands and be here, She'll some love
to the food. Why have there take you one day?
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Ana?
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Did you and die? Out way?
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Happy Saturday?
Speaker 4 (00:35):
Outweigh Amy here and we are continuing with our series
the lies women believe about their bodies. We have been
at this for the last three Saturdays, and today is
the fourth Saturday.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
It's a four part series, so we are to the
fourth lie.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
The fourth lie, I will always struggle with food, my body,
my weight. Maybe all three of those resonate with you
as lies, or maybe you know just one of them
more too, but the lie I will always struggle with food,
my body, my weight. I know I certainly believe this
lie for a very long time. And the belief that
you are destined to have these thoughts about your body
(01:14):
and food and your weight is uugh Like I just
want to like scream from the rooftops. This is not
your destiny. There is so much more for you in
this world, and freedom is possible for you. I know
it may seem out of reach, but well I used
to think this lie, and now I know that there
is freedom. So I can speak from experience and I
(01:36):
want the same for you, and I hope to have
the same for myself. But as you know, Leanne, I
know things come and go, thoughts come and go. But
now we have the tools, and I've rewired my brain
to where if certain thoughts enter my brain, I can
shut them down a lot faster than I used to.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Yeah, and I think for the past few weeks, obviously,
everything we talk about here is with this this underlying
you know, compassion of just like, hey, you got this
way because you practice these beliefs. They were lies that
infiltrated your psyche and you didn't consciously believe them, and
there's ways to unbelieve them and believe new truth. This
specific belief is where we want to have the same
(02:12):
eyes of love and compassion. And this is my gentle
loving nudge where this is an up level and take
radical ownership of our ability to transform kind of belief
as well.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
You know where one.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Of the you know talking about this idea that we're
not stuck with our beliefs that we've had. We can
create new beliefs, right. And really the overarching message throughout
all of this series is you can, you know, brain
change and have it change a behavior your way till
the cows come home. But if you're believing your way
into a different reality, you're always going to end up
back in alignment with your beliefs, right. And so for
(02:45):
this one, I'll always struggle with food, my body, my weight.
This is where I feel like we have to kind
of and this is me giving you permission to do
this to yourself. We kind of have to metaphorically shake
ourselves by the shoulders as well and get to that
point where it's like, no, I am like I am
calling out this lie.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
I am unbelieving this lie.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
I refuse to believe that I am destined to fight
this endless battle, right and that this is just how
it is going to be for me. And you know,
if I were to bottom line it, like one of
the things that I share with my clients before we

Speaker 4 (04:37):

want to reiterate that that's oftentimes why things feel true
and why we think we're always gonna struggle with food

(04:59):
I'm just a always going to.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Be this way a thousand percent.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
And so your brain.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
Believes what you tell it, believe it or not, and
when you tell it over and over, then it really
really believes it. But the beautiful thing is, is it
can unbelieve things. Yeah, but you have to start telling it.
And then that's my story, is that I had to
start telling myself. And it makes me think of acting
as If, almost as if you start to trick your

(05:28):
going to always struggle with this. I have the ability

so I don't even want to.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Say I'm committed to healing.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
There you go, that's a more positive way to say it.
I'm committed to healing. Healing is possible for me. I
am going to do this. I am capable. Then you
don't have anything negative in there. And I am normal,
I am healthy, I am exactly as I am supposed

Speaker 3 (05:53):
And you may not.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
Believe that at first, but you just start telling yourself
that over and over, and it's not to lie to
yourself and ignore the other stuff that's going on.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
I like to look at that. For me, it was
like a little brain hack exactly.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Yeah, we actually, and this is a great time to
share you and I did a four part series called
Acting as If, where we laid out like what do
those brain hacks look like? And there's a cheat sheet

the show notes as well. But everything that you said
is just so spot on, and I just want to
stack on that first. You know, when you say like
I am committed to healing this, then the brain immediately
goes like, Okay, well are you or like, well, what
(06:29):
is the plan?
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Like what is you know? So part of it too
is like we have to also radically.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Commit to taking care and solving the right problem, you know.
And so if I were to kind of bottom line
I said a minute ago, I was like, this is
where I kind of had to lovingly give myself a
shake on the shoulders, but like with love and compassion,
not this like you know, punitive kind of way of
like LeeAnne, you need to get it together, but like no, Leanne,
like this is a really big problem. It's not going
all way on its own, and you need to do
(06:55):
something radically different and you need help.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
You know. That was the first thing that I that
I said to myself.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
So if I were at a bottom line, what a
loving and compassionate but also like grounded and firm way
to kind of you know, give yourself a loving come
to Jesus if you will to wake up to like, hey.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
I'm not always going to be this way.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
I'm committed to my healing is like for me, this
is I'll just say what it looked like for me
and what it looks like for my clients, and the
patterns don't lie. Getting to that point where you know,
you're like, I'm at a stage in my life where
I know.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
That this cycle needs to end.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
And at the end of the day, for me, it
didn't have to be a deep, dark rock bottom, but
I had to get to that point where I realized that,
you know, whatever systems I was trying to use, or
like a food based approach or.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Whatever didn't work, didn't work for a reason, and I.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Wasn't going to go out another day without actually healing
the real problem. And getting to that stage where I
was like, Okay, Leanne, I love you, but enough is enough.
This monster has been around a long long enough, and
you've got to go change something from the root, not
just the symptoms anymore, and put it to bed for good, right.
And so it was the decisiveness and commitment. Like I
said earlier, this time it was different. It wasn't like, oh,
(07:57):
I'm going to go lose weight or I'm going to
control my eating or I'm going to stop controlling my
eating or whatever.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
It was not just about the food anymore. It was
about getting my life back.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
And I truly believe, and I've been doing this work
for you know, close to fifteen years, that you can't
do that alone, Like it's not a DIY job, because
you can't solve a problem with the same brain that
created it. And I want to bring this up too,
because it comes up so so often. One of the
number one things I hear is like, leanne, I've been
praying for God to take this away or I've just
been hoping that like time or age or wisdom would
(08:27):
take this away, right, And so part of it is
what I say to that is like, this is where
we have to use our own free will and we've
got to get off the definition of insanity of doing
the same thing over and over again. And maybe it's
got a different name and it's got a different meal
plan and Macros becomes you know, Caller County became.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Macros or whatever it is.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
And we've got to use our own free will and
do something different and invite God, the universe higher power
into that and use our free will to rewire our
brain right and get off that definition of insanity, because
the problem doesn't go away on its own.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
It actually festers and gets work.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
So if we don't address it, so acknowledging like I'm done,
like I'm going to move into healing, not just the
surface level stuff, and I can't do that on my own.
I need help and that is what's going to meet
your brain in this idea of like, oh wait, I
don't have to always struggle with this right, and I'm
committed to my healing.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
But that's going to give you your your brain.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
The prediction and response it needs to have that feel,
that belief, that new belief feel true.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
So I know that you have like an action that
could help with this. It involves writing down something that
you've overcome before and that helps you see it on
paper so that you can use it as evidence and proof.
And I think that that can be very powerful. And
when you write something down and maybe you put it
on your bathroom mirror or somewhere where you're going to
(09:44):
see it every day so you have that reminder, put
it as a screen saver on your computer maybe, or
your lock screen on your phone.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Absolutely like everybody has that one thing in their life
that they're like, oh my gosh, that was the hardest thing.
That was the hardest season, That was the hardest experience. Like,
start focusing on where you you are already an overcomer, right,
and connect to that energy of like, I am an overcomer,
I am a champion, I'm a warrior. I get through
stuff in a great way. I become better from this stuff.
(10:12):
These challenges that get thrown at me, they are seasoning
me and they've just made me better. And like, keep
coming back to that energetically and logically in your brain.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
Yeah, I love that so much. And just small consistent
changes or small consistent conversations with your brain can be
so powerful. It all adds up. It's kind of you
know when you think of people coming together to make
a difference, and you're like, oh, if I make a
dollar donation, it just really doesn't seem like it's that
(10:42):
big of an impact. But if you get a thousand
people to donate a dollar, that's one thousand dollars. So
if you get all the little parts of your brain
to rally together and do one little small thing, it
adds up. My point is, and you can make an impact.
It just takes time, It takes patience, but don't doubt yourself.
All those little dollar bills will come together and the
(11:05):
payoff is huge.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
I mean, the consistency over intensity is huge.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Let's say it's like you can't even put a dollar
amount on it.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Well, I'll just share something mathematically real quick. There's something
called the compound effect, right, where if I asked you, hey,
do you want me to give you a million dollars
in thirty days, or do you want me to give
you a penny compounded every single day for thirty days,
and compounded would be day one, you get one penny,
Day two you get two, Day three you get four,
then eight, then sixteen, then thirty two. And people are like, well,
give me a million dollars in thirty days. But if
(11:35):
you compound one penny for thirty days, it ends up,
and forgive the numbers, it's something along the lines of
like five million, two hundred thousand something compounded, right, And.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
So it's these teeny little things.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
The compound effect is what we're going for from the
consistency rather than the intensity. But most people approach their
struggles with intensity, and of course they fail because it's
not sustainable.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
I love that well, thanks Leanne.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Awesome.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
So final lie, or at least for this episode. I
feel like we could do a whole other series on
lies the women tell themselves. But this was the fourth lie,
the final part of the series for now. I'll always
struggle with food, my body, my weight, and Leane and
I are here to tell you you will not always struggle. Yeah,
there is a way out, and.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
We're calling out that lie loud and clear, lie, Lie Line.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Leanne, Where can people find you?
Speaker 1 (12:21):
If you want to see how I help women unpack
these lies and really lean into freedom in sixteen weeks,
head on over to Stressless seeding dot com and I've
just shared the system that I teach my.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Clients Awesome on socials.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
She's at Leanne Ellington and I am at Radio Amy.
We'll see you next Saturday.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
