I have done everything under the sun, I've counted the calories and done all the gym workouts. I have had all the phases, keto, high carb, low carb, iifym, weighing food, building plates, etc. What makes this different? And why will it work?

Answer:

This was answered for me within my first week from Terry, between my first discovery call, module one, and first official session call- it was CLEAR this was very different from anything I had tried before. And wasted so many years thinking they would work! This is different because I am connecting with MY body - I am not allowing my brain or some technology device to run the story. I have outsourced my wellbeing to other people's ideas of 'health' and the appropriate amounts of food and what foods, and I had NO IDEA how to connect to my body and myself. And this is essentially what Terry teaches- she gently guides you back to YOU. This has literally blown my mind in the first week. What do I like? What do I actually want to eat? How does this or that food feel in my body? How much of it feels good to me? The process isn't meant to be 'another thing I do to force a body I want'. Instead, it is a process to come home to yourself and, within that journey, arrive at the body you’ve been dreaming about returning to for so long. As Terry says, you can actually have both: a life that feels good to you AND the health/fitness/body that you desire.

I have an 'ok' body. People even tell me, 'You are fit!'. I have even done a lot of mindset work and self-acceptance work, and if I am being honest, I don't feel good in my body. So even if it is 'fine', then why do I feel so off in my body? How can this help me?

Answer:

Again I got blown away by two big things in my first week of doing the emotional work of paying attention to my body as I ate food and talking with Terry- 

1. Tracking and weighing my food diligently was keeping me at a size I was physically not feeling well in. And I was not able to see that clearly until I started working with Terry. 

2. Terry said something so profound in our first official session that I journaled four whole pages about how mind-blowing it was. To paraphrase the best I can her words :

   “You feel out of order in your body because you are eating out of order according to it.”

   Whoa! It was SO CLEAR to me how she explained it. If I felt good in my body, that means I was eating in a way that aligned with that--and I wasn't. Not at all. Because I felt really awful. This was so validating that the story I thought was right, 'counting calories keeps me in line.' That was false. The truth that I never thought could be my reality was that my body is smarter than me trying to 'control' it. 

This is a lot of money to spend on myself. What if it doesn't work?

To this I'd say. But what if it does? And I’ve wasted SO much money already on endless diets, programs, supplements. This is different. This will stay with me for life. It is a one-time investment that will last forever. And I would also add that the discovery call with Terry really helped me realize I needed some handholding to face all my old beliefs and finally move through my fears. And talking with Terry really made it clear, in such a comforting and loving way, that she was capable of helping me navigate this journey; I immediately felt confident she was a good leader to get me there. I trusted her and her heart.

And finally, when we invest in ourselves and the money feels scary or big, but we do it anyway and trust - I think we value it a lot more and take it seriously - Terry is showing up for me. So I am going to show up for myself, too. I am worth it.
