Hello friends!
I have a brand new podcast episode live and Betsy is back for round two!!
If you’ve never heard of Betsy, she’s the creator of Boujee Betsy, a community for women in their 40s who can finally choose for themselves, and she’s as real as it gets. She is also one of my best friends in the whole world!! Today we’re picking up right where we left off and diving into our personal experiences with peptides, the mental side of weight loss, body image, and more.
Here’s what we’re talking about:
- Betsy’s background, how she lost 30 pounds with the help of a GLP-1, and what life is like now in maintenance mode
- The mental and emotional journey of restoring your identity after significant weight loss
- Why Maintaining Goal Weight Is Honestly Harder Than Losing It (and Why Nobody Talks About It)
- Body image after losing weight and why some days you still feel like your old body
- Why Betsy never counted calories or followed a strict nutrition program and how she still maintains her results
- The “ingredient budget” approach to feeding a family and keeping it realistic
- What’s next for Betsy as she leaves her 20 years of education behind and focuses on family and content creation?
And much more!!
205: GLP-1, Weight Maintenance and Reconstruction with Betsy by Boujee Betsy
Betsy’s honesty about the parts of the wellness journey that no one glamorizes is so refreshing and I just know you’ll love it.
Betsy is not your typical spa guest.
She’s 45, totally low-maintenance and the founder of @Boujee.Betsy – a community for women in their 40s who are finally making their own decisions. After losing 30 pounds with the help of GLP-1, she’ll be the first to tell you that the medication wasn’t the hard part. The hard part was everything that came to light.
Betsy speaks candidly about maintaining weight loss when no one congratulates you for it anymore, the fear that never quite goes away, and the mental work of rebuilding your identity from the inside out. She’s been in fight-or-flight mode for most of her adult life – and now she’s finally consciously living differently.
Your superpower? Saying out loud what everyone else doesn’t want to admit. Your mission? To show women that empathizing with themselves isn’t selfish. It’s about survival.
