GLP-1s: "It Feels Like Cheating" and Other Thoughts You Have
About this episode
Have you ever looked at GLP-1s and thought, "I haven't earned that yet"? Or “that feels like cheating.” You're not alone — and this episode is for you.
In this very first episode of The Midlife Mom Edit I'm kicking it off with a conversation I keep having with women in my coaching program and in my DMs.
The emotional weight you're carrying around GLP-1s. Not the side effects, or the cost, or the fear of needles. The feeling that you need to hit some invisible milestone before you're allowed to consider getting support.
In this episode, I'm sharing how GLP-1s actually work in your body. Plus, we’ll walk through the real stories from my students who said "it feels like cheating" and "am I already at this point?" and making the case for why none of those thoughts are serving you. (I also get honest about the judgment I had toward GLP-1s before I started one myself — and what changed when I did.)
THIS is your chance for a rewrite. This is what The Midlife Mom Edit is all about.
