The Livy Method Podcast

Reset, Don’t Restart

Season 8, Ep. 82

Gina sits down with Livy Community member Megan Mapley for an open conversation about sustainable weight loss, mindset, emotional eating and what it really takes to create lasting change. After losing 53 pounds, regaining weight when life got busy and finding her way forward again, Megan shares why she stopped chasing the all-or-nothing approach and started building habits she could actually live with. They talk about food noise, social media, movement, body image, GLP-1 weight loss medications and the difference between needing a reset and believing you have to start over. It’s a relatable reminder that weight loss isn’t about perfection or quick fixes. It’s about learning what works for your body, trusting yourself and continuing to make progress through every season of life.

  • 78. Consistency Isn't a Streak

    31:18||Season 8, Ep. 78
    You've been told consistency means doing the exact same thing every single day, hit your water, never miss a walk, keep the streak alive. So the moment life happens (a vacation, a birthday, the flu), it feels like you blew it and have to start over. Kim and Odette make the case that real consistency isn't a streak at all. It's the bigger picture: a few good choices, a blip that doesn't snowball, and the ability to make up for an off day instead of writing off the whole week.

  • 74. You Don't Get What You Want. You Get How You Feel About What You Want.

    40:33||Season 8, Ep. 74
    You can lose the weight and still feel like a stranger in your own body. Identity-led transformation coach Hina Khan joins Gina Livy to explain why so many women regain weight even after doing everything right. It's not from a lack of discipline, but because their self-image never caught up to the change. They get into the idea of a mental "set point," why you unconsciously undo your own progress to feel normal again, the trap of "when-then" living (I'll be happy when I hit the goal), and why imposter syndrome isn't a stop sign, it's a signal to expand your capacity, not shrink your goals.Hina Khan is the author of A Return to You and host of The Possibilities with Hina Khan podcast.Where to Find Hina:Website: https://hinakhan.caInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachwithhinaYou'll find Hina's book, A Return to YOU, here: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/1965653278 This podcast aligns with Day one of our Summer Club, members can find video in our Livy Method app or Summer Club Community Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/livymethodspring2026
