16: Welcome back! I'm here with another solo episode sharing a little bit about my nutritional journey, how I lost 25 pounds in a very short amount of time (even though weight is JUST A NUMBER THAT DOES NOT MATTER), and why I eat the way I eat today. You'll hear all about the Taco Bell Sarah Era, why I never punish myself for getting off my plan, and how important I believe it is to attach emotional reasons to things you want to get consistent with. I'm also telling you about one of the more embarrassing ways I've lost my car keys, the importance of getting in your element in order to make motion (just like a penguin), and serving you some FIRE recs! I had a lot of fun recording this episode and I really hope you have fun listening to it :)
