[INTERVIEW] Mother of 5 and Business Owner Goes from Putting Everyone Else’s Needs First, Overweight, and Unhappy to Radiating Confidence, Control, and Grace While Losing 40+ Pounds and Putting Herself First!

Ep 204 - WordPress


Meet Barbie! A mother of five who recently retired from the only job she knew: owning her own hair salon for 25 years.

Barbie enjoyed tremendous success in her business because she was an expert at putting everybody’s needs atop her priority list. Fortunately and unfortunately, this habit came home with her, too, which meant she fell to the very bottom of her priority list.

The result: she was overweight, unhappy, and no longer felt like herself. 

When we first met Barbie and welcomed her to The 5% Fundamentals Program in the Fall of 2021, she…

  • Literally drank nothing but coffee from early in the morning into early in the evening.
  • Only ate once per day – whatever she could get her hands on late in the evening after a non-stop, stressful day of work (which often ended up being carry-out).
  • Didn’t step foot in the gym or have any formal exercise routine.
  • Had minimal nutrition knowledge or awareness as to how her eating and exercise habits were affecting her physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Fast-forward to August of 2022 and she is not only down more than 40 pounds and counting, but she is finally putting herself first!

  • She’s also confidently and consistently eating three meals per day, yet, navigating weekend social occasions with grace, intention, and presence. 
  • She’s waking up with an abundance of energy.
  • She enjoys a frozen coffee treat once per week instead of multiple times per day.
  • She’s working out and focusing on strength training three days per week.

She’s literally a completely different human inside and out! 

Join Paul and Micheala today for an incredibly inspiring story to learn how Barbie was able to go from being stuck on autopilot, unhappy, and overweight to not only losing 40+ pounds, but to a default in which she radiates confidence, control, and grace.
