The Missing Piece
Why I spent years doing everything "right" - and still couldn't figure it out.
I’ve been aware of my body for as long as I can remember.
One of my earliest memories is hiding cookies in my closet because I thought eating them was “bad.” I wore board shorts to the pool because I was self-conscious about my thighs. I was sent to fat camp as a kid, and I still remember the shame and embarrassment when my parents sat me down to show me the promotional video.
That feeling stuck with me for a long time.
In my twenties, I decided I didn’t want to live like that anymore. I started doing the deeper work — really unpacking emotional eating, body image, and all the beliefs I had about myself. That journey changed me. It eventually led me to go to life coaching school, helping other women navigate those same struggles.
By the time I met my husband, I felt good. Not perfect, not “thin” but genuinely at peace in my body. I had a healthy relationship with food. I was living my life.
Then life happened.
We got engaged, got married, and I got pregnant on our honeymoon. I was so excited to become a mom, so I put growing my business on the back burner — and after that first pregnancy, everything shifted. I gained weight during pregnancy, lost some of it relatively quickly postpartum… but I was also dealing with postpartum depression. The medication I needed to feel like myself again caused significant weight gain. And slowly, I stopped wanting to look in the mirror. I stopped stepping on the scale.
It just felt easier not to see it.
What made it harder was that I knew what to do.
I’m a coach. I understand nutrition. I’ve done the programs. I was working out. I was trying. But my body just… wasn’t responding. It felt like I was doing everything right and getting nowhere.
And underneath all of that was something heavier: shame.
I was helping women with these exact struggles… and I couldn’t figure it out for myself. So I stepped away from coaching altogether.
Years passed and despite working out fairly consistently and pushing myself hard, I stayed stuck.
After my third baby, I hit a point where I knew something had to change.
That’s when I started hearing about GLP-1 medications like Zepbound. I was hesitant at first — I didn’t want to feel like I needed medication to lose weight. But I also knew I had been doing the work for years. So I did my research, talked to people I trusted, and made an appointment with my doctor.
She told me something that shifted everything:
Your lifestyle is already solid — your body just needs support.
I’ll never forget taking my first shot. That night, something felt different. It was like a quiet I had never experienced before. A sense of fullness, yes — but also contentment. Like something that had always been “on” in the background of my mind finally turned off.
I woke up in the middle of the night and just felt… complete.
I knew: this was the missing piece.
Over the next 13 months, I lost 100 pounds. But more importantly — everything I had been doing for years finally worked. My body responded in a way it never had before.
And that’s why I created The Betty Method.
Because this isn’t just about weight loss. It’s about finally having the tools — and the support — to make it all come together. So many women are doing the right things but still feel stuck and when something finally starts working, it can feel overwhelming to know how to build a sustainable life around it.
That’s what I want to help you do.
If this resonated with you, you’re in the right place. Every week I’ll be sharing real talk on strength training, eating well, body recomposition, and the mindset piece that makes it all stick.
