400lbs Lost & Full Quality of Life Gained. Amanda, Darren, & Meghan Share Their Transformations as Hooked on Healthy Habits App Clients

Season 2 · Episode 2

jeudi 14 octobre 2021 • Duration 02:49:22

Welcome to the most personal, unguarded, and raw Hooked on Habits podcast to date.

Today, I welcome three incredible individuals, who have grown with me for nearly the past decade. Each of them shares what was the key factor for them to create change, stay the course, and strive for even greater than they originally set out for. Collectively these three individuals have lost nearly 400lbs, improved their overall longevity and their relationships with themselves and others. I couldn’t be more excited to welcome you to such a personal episode.

Amanda - she says she’s in the BEST mental and physical shape of her life. She’s not dieting, she’s LIVING! Without spoiling too much, I’ll let Amanda explain why gastric bypass was the best thing that DIDN’T happen to her.

Darren - he started at 380lbs and is now under 200lbs, running ultra marathons and always looking for new mountains to climb. Despite injuries along the way, Darren says he’s now stronger and healthier than ever before.

Meghan - I have always highly respected her for her grit and ability to show up. Despite her transformation not being one largely focused on weight, Meghan simply didn’t feel strong, nor like she had the tools to develop healthier habits.

Dotsie Bausch: Inside The Mind Of An Olympic Medalist, And Champion For Change

Season 1 · Episode 4

lundi 14 décembre 2020 • Duration 32:33

Ever wondered what it's like inside the mind of an Olympic medalist?

Dotsie Bausch, Olympic Silver Medalist, and 7-time USA Cycling National Champion talks about what it takes to train six hours a day, six days a week, for years and years, and her true feelings towards habits. Whether you swear against having habits, or are trying to better understand those that don’t practice them at all, this episode is for you.

Dotsie, having been a fashion model in New York, admittedly was battling anorexia and underwent intensive therapy for three years. What she did with that momentum to later be standing on an Olympic podium in front of half of the royal family, Paul McCartney in audience, and all because she went through with a ‘dare’ to take up track cycling, this may be that inspiring message you've been needing to hear!

Dotsie takes us inside her life now as an advocate, speaker, survivor, and the executive director of the nonprofit, Switch4Good. For show notes, and to sign up for my email newsletter to get the inside scoop on conversations with the latest guests, visit mandygill.com/hooked-on-habits-podcast.

Season 2 · Episode 1

mercredi 15 septembre 2021 • Duration 41:50

Welcome to the kick off of Season Two of the Hooked On Habits Podcast!

Are you a self-sabotager? Do you have self limiting beliefs that hold you back?

Do you get in your own way without even knowing you’re doing it? Or even worse, do so while knowing you're doing it?

And most importantly, if our external world is a reflection of our inner world, then how do we compound the good and deconstruct the negative, while reprogramming our conscious and subconscious mind?

Author of “Self-Sabotage: The Art of Screwing Up,” Rosa Livingstone is a Clinical Hypnotherapist and speaker who specializes in self-sabotage. With over 15 years of experience guiding clients to overcome self-sabotaging issues in order to become the best they can be and then some, Rosa’s passion and dedication is to help others re-discover their authentic selves and rise above limiting beliefs.

Rosa and I met 11 years ago when I brought her on as a guest to interview while working in Top 40 Morning Radio. Instantly she awed me with her ability to break down self-sabotaging ways in others, and I've been a client of hers ever since. In today’s episode of the Hooked on Habits Podcast, we explore Rosa’s insight and expertise to guide people to live fulfilling lives.
