You know what to do to feel better—so why does lasting change still feel out of reach?
In this empowering conversation, Christy sits down with Leslie Gordon Christie—wellness coach, mindset expert, and founder of Buff Nation, a thriving community helping women over 40 reclaim their energy, confidence, and health.
Together, they dive into the deeper why behind so many stalled health journeys. Spoiler: it’s not about needing more information.
What I do is help women uncover [what’s hiding in the subconscious]. It could be a simple belief, like, ‘I am not worthy of living in a smaller body,’ or ‘I need to protect myself with weight because I don’t want people to look at me.’ Everything goes back to our emotions…when we shift that, everything else will follow.
