How determination can change your life - Josie's journey

EP 79 - How determination can change your life - Josie's journey ** IMPORTANT: This episode contains swearing - just for anyone who usually has their children around when listening! ** Today I am joined by the amazing Josie Marsden from Sydney, Australia. Josie transformed her life after some extremely difficult years as a young adult. After fleeing with her young daughter  from an abusive relationship at age 20, Josie made a promise not to let anyone treat her in the same way again. The one struggle that continued throughout the healing process from such a traumatic experience was Josie's health. Josie found herself building the life she wanted for herself and her daughter, but unable to do so at a healthy weight. She began taking extreme measures, leading to disordered eating and putting her health at serious risk. Keen to make changes but overwhelmed from so much information being shared online offering the "best" weight loss methods and "must follow" diet plans, Josie began educating herself to learn exactly how she could lead a healthy and balanced life.  This was the turning point for Josie and was the beginning of a transformation that would not only create a foundation for a healthy mind and body, but also the start of a career in nutrition, fitness and coaching.  Josie is proof that no matter what happens in life, you always have an opportunity to make changes and create a better life for yourself. It may not be easy, in fact sometimes it can feel completely impossible but with some determination and support, you can achieve anything you would like. Josie follows a Flexible food approach to her diet, which personally I think ticks all the boxes in terms of finding balance, enjoying food without depriving yourself or feeling restricted and learning how you food needs to be fuelled at the same time.  If you want to find out more about Josie, her life and the work she now does helping others as a coach, her Instagram is: @josiesflexiblefoods Thanks to Josie for being a great guest and I hope to welcome her back to the Weight Loss Warrior Podcast soon!   Don't forget to join our Weight Loss Warrior Tribe Community: Click to be part of the tribe!
