Miriam doesn't shy away from discussing burnout, setting boundaries, and the importance of self-care, particularly for those in caregiving roles. She offers practical advice on managing nutrition, making peace with dietary changes, and finding balance within a world that often feels unbalanced.
Her healthy weight loss tips go beyond the scale, focusing on mental resilience, the celebration of non-scale victories, and the power of community support. Join us to hear how Miriam turned her trials into triumph, and how you also can win at a healthier, happier life.
