How I Brainwashed Myself To Get Lean

Marnie shares her inspiring journey of shedding 23 lbs and finding true food freedom after menopause. Two years ago, a glimpse in a store mirror left her shocked—she didn’t recognize the reflection staring back. Despite being a long-time dedicated whole-food, plant-based diet, menopause brought unexpected weight gain, leaving her feeling out of touch with her own body. But rather than succumbing to negative self-talk, Marnie leaned into learning, growth, and mindset shifts. Through self-compassion and a new approach to eating, she discovered how to feel full while losing weight and maintaining her health. Embracing a “fail-forward” attitude, she’s replaced judgment with curiosity and transformed her relationship with food and herself. Join us as Marnie talks about the small, proud steps she took, the wins she now looks for, and how self-acceptance became her most powerful tool. 📚 Join the FREE mini-course to kickstart your weight loss 👇 https://fitwithplants.com/kickstarter-opt-in-page-page 📆 Get a FREE 1:1 Weight Loss Consult to see how we can help you smash those goals https://link.localbestgyms.com/widget/form/pOZDvwcJQoWbQ5KPeiGv 🤙 Find me on: My Website ➔ https://www.chelseamae.com Instagram ➔ https://www.instagram.com/chelseamaecullen/ Youtube ➔ https://www.youtube.com/ChelseaMae Subscribe and see you next week.

If you've ever found yourself using setbacks as a reason to quit? I've been there too. I’m not superhuman, but I’ve found a way to stop quitting when things get tough. Every time I want to give up, I remind myself that quitting would only make me feel worse and stressed. Instead, I’ve learned how to use struggles as growth opportunities. In this episode, I’m sharing how I shifted from a mindset of ‘lack’ and ‘victimhood’ to one focused on growth and progress, and how rethinking my core beliefs helped me stay motivated even through tough times and not give up. If you're done with feeling stuck and want to keep moving forward—no matter what comes up—this episode is for you. Let’s talk about discomfort, change, and why embracing unease is the real path to growth.

Understanding the trade-offs in weight loss is key to staying on track and reaching your goals. Often, the focus is on what to do, but we forget to consider what we need to not do. Every choice—whether it’s about time, energy, money, or enjoyment—comes with its own cost. I’ll share my personal approach to balancing these trade-offs, like simplifying meals to save time for family, and I’ll also discuss common challenges many of us face. By recognising and embracing these trade-offs, you can stay focused, realistic, and consistent on your journey to achieving your goals. 📚 Join the FREE mini course to kickstart your weight loss 👇 https://www.chelseamae.com/lean-with-plants-kickstarter-framework 📆 Get a FREE 1:1 Weight Loss Consult to see how we can help you smash those goals https://link.localbestgyms.com/widget/form/pOZDvwcJQoWbQ5KPeiGv 🤙 Find me on: My Website ➔ https://www.chelseamae.com Instagram ➔ https://www.instagram.com/chelseamaecullen/ Youtube ➔ https://www.youtube.com/ChelseaMae Subscribe and see you next week.

Imagine you’re faced with two paths to success: one is hard and full of obstacles, while the other is straightforward and effective. The secret to success isn’t about working harder; it’s about working smarter. Successful people don’t create more obstacles for themselves, they find ways to remove them. In this episode, I’ll use the inversion method to explain how figuring out what will guarantee failure and avoiding those issues is often much simpler than trying to discover the perfect path to success. Instead of getting overwhelmed by all the endless things you need to do to become successful, focus on identifying what would guarantee your failure, then simply, do the opposite. It’s natural to feel like you’re fighting a losing battle and that progress is impossible. It’s easy to think that giving up is the only option. But true success isn’t about never facing challenges; it’s about persevering, taking responsibility, and making adjustments to simplify your path so you can achieve your goals with greater ease. 📚 Grab your copy of the Calorie Density chart here, by signing up to my FREE mini course to kickstart your weight loss 👇https://kickstarter.fitwithplants.com/products/3086bdba-221a-4ab6-992e-8f93f077363f/categories/4ded6ac5-7986-4e47-b4d7-7453d90db29e/posts/e2395f15-0a7e-4633-b758-74b9a47c3a89 The podcast i talk about in the episode https://podcasts.apple.com/nz/podcast/modern-wisdom/id1347973549?i=1000666600695 👇 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 the FREE mini course to kickstart your weight loss 👇 https://fitwithplants.com/kickstarter-opt-in-page-page 🤙 Find me on: My Website ➔ https://www.chelseamae.com Instagram ➔ https://www.instagram.com/chelseamaecullen/ Youtube ➔ https://www.youtube.com/ChelseaMae Subscribe and see you next week.
