Welcome back to The French Weigh with your host, Karen Gombault. What story are you telling yourself about your weight loss journey? That it has been hard? A constant uphill battle? All consuming? How you think about your weight loss journey matters, and it directly influences your energy, attitude, mindset and results. And that's why, it's time to look at your past experiences and rewrite them into a story that is empowering and that serves you. I'll be sharing my personal weight loss journey over the past 40 years, and how each experience, whether it involved dieting, emotional eating, or intense training, shaped my mindset and has helped me remain at my goal weight for several years now. We'll explore how positively reframing past experiences can strengthen your resolve and ultimately help you maintain a healthy lifestyle. Instead of looking at experiences from my past and only seeing the negative outcomes, I look at the lessons learned. Reframing those moments with compassion allows me to move forward and stay committed. “When I look at my story and just tell myself that I showed up for me, I had my own back. For example, I never tell myself, I need to get back on track, and I never tell my clients, you need to get back on track. You just need to keep going. You just need to take one more step.” Through coaching, mindset shifts, and rewriting my story, I have learned to trust myself and love my journey, and I want the same for you too. Tune in to this episode of The French Weigh and learn to love your story too.Key Takeaways From This EpisodeThe Power of Positive Reframing: How positively reframing past experiences can boost mindset and influence current efforts Insight into my decades-long journey and the pivotal moments that shaped me Emphasizing the importance of mindset, as opposed to solely focusing on strategies Emotional eating and mind management Coaching and Mindset Shifts: How working with mindset and macro coaches helped me transform my approach to weight loss Compassion and Self-Empathy: The significance of treating oneself with compassion throughout the weight loss journeyContact Information and Recommended Resources The French Weigh One on One Coaching Yes! you CAN feel more confident, energetic and healthy as you age, even if right now it doesn't feel that way.

Our guest today believes in the power of stories. Donald Miller is the CEO of StoryBrand, a creative firm that specializes in clarifying a company's message.

Today's episode is for all the graduates - and anyone looking for an encouraging life challenge - never lose your story. Jay not only gave the graduation speech for his college of engineering, but he kicked things off by reading The Cat in the Hat by Dr. Seuss on a dare.

I first met Marcus nine years ago when he began services at my nonprofit, Puzzle Pieces. He had big goals for himself from day one, never letting his disability hold him back or stop him from dreaming. One of those dreams was to be on stage sharing his love for dance. Marcus connected with a local dance studio, where he was able to find a job and perform on stage in front of thousands of people. Marcus secured a second job at Great American Cookie Company, where he excels at customer service and cookie decorating. But Marcus' biggest goal was to live independently. With the help of our team at Puzzle Pieces and Marcus' dedication to learning the necessary life skills to make his dream happen, he moved into his own apartment.  Don't miss Marcus' full story!

I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community, and as long as I live, it is my privilege to do for it what I can. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations." - George Bernard ShawThis week on Write Your Own Story, Rebecca is joined by Don Wettrick.

As leaders, we take pride in hiring wonderful people to add to our team, and when we decide to hire a person, we become protective over them and want them to succeed.
