I sat down with Tracy, who lost 20 pounds in just 12 weeks — after years of yo-yo dieting, guilt, and feeling stuck. What changed? Not just the food… but her identity.She built trust in herself.She stopped fearing the scale.She let go of guilt and started living in alignment with her goals.This conversation dives deep into what happens when you stop trying to be perfect, start using a proven system, and finally get the accountability that actually works. Tracy’s journey is wildly encouraging and a reminder that real transformation happens when we shift from "all or nothing" to "what’s actually sustainable."If you’re ready to stop starting over, this one’s for you.If you’re ready to do whatever is required to succeed for your health goals, then book a free consult with our team to talk about making that a reality.https://fitwithplants.com/schedule-your-call-6🎉 Join my FREE Lean Kickstarter Challenge 👇https://www.skool.com/lwp-kickstarter/about🤙 Find me on:My Website ➔ https://www.chelseamae.comInstagram ➔ https://www.instagram.com/chelseamaecullen/Youtube ➔ https://www.youtube.com/ChelseaMaeSubscribe and see you next week.

Discipline is about doing what you don’t want to do because you know it’s the right.The person you ARE and who you become through doing hard things paradoxically makes you happier.Victim hood doesn’t serve us, and I’ve had that tested over the past 4 months.Once again I’m coming back to delusional optimism.Wild gratitude and the WORK of being content, regardless of suffering.A mindset of empowerment in the face of pain is a deliberate act of rebellion, so don’t give up.You got this.Keep going.It’s worth it.If you’re ready to do whatever is required to succeed for your health goals, then book a free consult with our team to talk about making that a reality.https://fitwithplants.com/schedule-your-call-6🎉 Join my FREE Lean Kickstarter Challenge 👇https://www.chelseamae.com/kickstarter-about🤙 Find me on:My Website ➔ https://www.chelseamae.comInstagram ➔ https://www.instagram.com/chelseamaecullen/Youtube ➔ https://www.youtube.com/ChelseaMaeSubscribe and see you next week.

If you feel stuck in a cycle like you’re trying, but progress just isn’t happening fast enough, you’re not alone.It’s not that you’re not capable. It’s that there are hidden bottlenecks, subconscious beliefs, old habits, and tiny decisions you’re making daily—that are keeping you stuck.In this episode, I’m sharing a replay from a live event inside the Land of Plants community where we talked about the uncomfortable truth: real progress starts with radical honesty.We’ll dive into why integrity with yourself matters more than motivation, how to spot the patterns that are silently sabotaging your results, and how asking the hard questions is the key to moving forward.This is the kind of deep mindset work we do in the coaching program—because when your habits align with who you want to be, change isn’t a fight anymore.If you’re ready to do whatever is required to succeed for your health goals, then book a free consult with our team to talk about making that a reality.https://fitwithplants.com/schedule-your-call-6🎉 Join my FREE Lean Kickstarter Challenge 👇https://www.chelseamae.com/kickstarter-about🤙 Find me on:My Website ➔ https://www.chelseamae.comInstagram ➔ https://www.instagram.com/chelseamaecullen/Youtube ➔ https://www.youtube.com/ChelseaMaeSubscribe and see you next week.
