Lean With Plants

Chelsea Mae Cullen

Calling all overweight plant based women! This is a podcast for FRUSTRATED vegan gal's who can’t shift the fat, all while eating a healthy vegan diet! (Yes we exist.) Weight loss doesn’t have to be a mystery, but with all the pseudo science and outright quackery online it’s hard to understand the true WHY and HOW. I’m Chelsea Cullen and I’ve lost 18kg (nearly 40 pounds) as a vegan ONCE I understood the science of weight loss, which has nothing to do with counting calories or celery juice by the way.I’m here to simplify the TRUTH about fat burning, what foods to eat for the most effective weight loss, the mindset tools to get you to your goal, and how to make it stick FOR LIFE.

    Building Discipline That Lasts

    Ever worry about what other people will think when you start changing? Ever let someone else's opinion make you question your goals or the choices you're making? Ever feel like failure means you should stop trying? In this episode, we break down what it actually takes to build discipline that lasts, and why it has much less to do with motivation than you think. You'll learn how to have better conversations with the people around you, stop taking their reactions personally, and stay committed to your choices even when other people don't understand them. We'll also talk about why failure isn't a reason to quit, but simply part of the process of becoming the person you want to be. Because discipline isn't about never struggling. It's about continuing to do what matters, even when it's uncomfortable. 🎥 Ready to stop the binge cycle and make weight loss feel easier? 👉 Apply for my next FREE live weight loss masterclass: https://lwpkickstart.com/live-chels If you’re ready to do whatever is required to succeed for your health goals, then book a FREE consult with our team to talk about making that a reality. https://fitwithplants.com/schedule-your-call-6 🎉 Join my FREE Lean Kickstarter Challenge 👇 https://www.chelseamae.com/kickstarter-about 🤙 Find me on: My Website ➔ https://www.chelseamae.com Instagram ➔ https://www.instagram.com/chelseamaecullen/ Youtube ➔ https://www.youtube.com/ChelseaMae Subscribe and see you next week.

    Stop Saying “It’s Hard” and Make Progress Instead

    Ever catch yourself saying, “It’s too hard”? Ever feel like your circumstances, schedule, body, or motivation are stopping you from making progress? Ever forget that you still have a choice, even when the choice is difficult? In this episode, we break down why saying “it’s hard” can quietly reinforce the belief that you’re powerless, and how taking responsibility for your behaviour can completely change the way you approach your goals. You’ll learn how to stop giving your circumstances control over your actions, recognize the choices you always have, and start taking responsibility for the decisions that move you forward. Because you don’t need life to become easier before you change. You need to decide what you’re willing to do. 🎥 Ready to stop the binge cycle and make weight loss feel easier? 👉 Apply for my next FREE live weight loss masterclass: https://lwpkickstart.com/live-chels If you’re ready to do whatever is required to succeed for your health goals, then book a FREE consult with our team to talk about making that a reality. https://fitwithplants.com/schedule-your-call-6 🎉 Join my FREE Lean Kickstarter Challenge 👇 https://www.chelseamae.com/kickstarter-about 🤙 Find me on: My Website ➔ https://www.chelseamae.com Instagram ➔ https://www.instagram.com/chelseamaecullen/ Youtube ➔ https://www.youtube.com/ChelseaMae Subscribe and see you next week.
