On the day of this interview, Lawrence was celebrating two years of sustained weight-loss over 100lbs! Lawrence Vera is a longtime baseball lover with over 10 years coaching experience. He has coached both ‘AAA’ and Elite level players and is the owner of the Titans Baseball Club and True North Fieldhouse. Lawrence is an energetic, hardworking and motivated leader who believes that a coach needs to model the behaviour that he is training the young athletes to learn. On a trip with a baseball team, Lawrence realized that he was experiencing back pain and general discomfort from sitting on a bus. Realizing that it was due to fitting his large frame into a small bus seat, he decided to take action. He set forth a plan to lose the weight and become a better version of himself. Naturally competitive, Lawrence set goals for himself, one big goal and several milestones along the way. People who were wary of his far-reaching goals only served to spur him on. Not only did he meet his goal, he surpassed it and added some extras along the way. Lawrence is married to his high school sweetheart with whom he has two children. He has a ton of energy and a positive outlook. For Lawrence, Releasing 100 is “The opportunity to share life lessons, to be a part of a community.” “You're not alone, you're more powerful than you could ever imagine” Connect with Lawrence: @coach_lvera - Twitter and Instagram @illfinishthatpodcast - Instagram

Struggling to get into the flow of the intention of this episode, I didn’t record it until 7 weeks later. Even after recording it, it sat for over 7 months. In this episode one learns about self sabotage and what it looks and feels like to correct and continue the #1 relationship of self.

The evolution of self care. From the simplicity of the eat, sleep, repeat cycle to the struggle of meeting and balancing spiritual, mental, emotional and physical needs.

Pound 3 brings us to the power of words. When coming up with a name for this podcast, I was reminded of the time when my perspective changed from losing weight to releasing weight. In this episode I share two other women’s posts that explain and support my journey beautifully. Thank you to Diane Petrella of DianePetrella.com and Vanessa Santos of Holistically You! Cheers to our lovely bodies!

Pound 2. Gratitude. Morning, Night and throughout the entire day. It’s the most powerful perspective to create, shift and influence circumstances.

In July 2018, during a girls weekend in Niagara Falls, I was introduced to the Invitation and read it allowed. Time stood still and there was a shift. This is a reading of the poem called the Invitation by Oriah Mountain Dreamer.

Happy Mother’s Day! So much gratitude for my child. A heart felt greeting about my mom. An expression of how I miss her. Being vulnerable is difficult sometimes. An introduction to Releasing 100.
