Episode #218: 24 Pounds Down with Erin Hennessey, Turning Weight Loss Into a Health Story

Summary 

Have you ever put off going to the doctor because you wanted to lose the weight first? If that hits, this episode is for you.

This week I’m joined by my client Erin Hennesey — former state senator, CPA, mom of two — who shares what it actually looked like to stop the on-again-off-again cycle and lose the weight in a way that feels like a lifestyle upgrade. We get into the parts most weight loss conversations skip: the perfectionism that quietly keeps overachievers stuck, and what changed when Erin finally stopped circling and started.
