I Lost 34 Pounds—and Found My Freedom

Hey, mama. If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s too late to lose weight or if your body is “just stuck,” this episode is for you. Melissa’s story is your proof that it’s never too late—and that your freedom is on the other side of those excuses we’ve all believed.
Melissa lost 34 pounds through the Yummy Mummy Experience—but that’s just the beginning. She shares how decades of fear, medical issues, hormone shifts, and even gaining weight on a previous weight loss challenge didn’t stop her once she committed to a new way. What changed everything? Inner work, identity shifts, and the unconditional love she finally offered herself.
This isn’t about fig newtons and fat-free chips anymore. It’s about empowerment. And it's about finding yourself on the other side of the noise.
Hit play and hear:
- Why Melissa’s doctor didn’t flag anything—but she still felt off
- The 600-calorie-a-day college “diet” that left her depleted (and what finally worked instead)
- What happened when the scale went up in the first few weeks—and how she didn’t quit
- How feeling her feelings, befriending herself, and learning to coach her brain changed everything
- The church pew moment that showed her real transformation (spoiler: it wasn’t about food!)
If you’re stuck in the cycle of “maybe this just isn’t possible for me,” Melissa’s story will crack that wide open. Because it is possible. And we’re here to show you how.
