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.

How To Build Trust In Yourself (so you can do hard things)
Achieving anything is about going from known, what you have currently, to unknown which is what you COULD hypothetically have.Aka potential.Potential is always precipitated by an unknown action.An action you don’t have evidence for.If you are on a trajectory of success it’s because you have evidence that you take the KIND of action required to succeed.You will succeed because you have a habit of biting down on the actions of success, of emptying the bag of success and at the bottom is the gold.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 Kickstarter Challenge👇https://www.chelseamae.com/kickstarter-optin-about-page🤙 Find me on:My Website ➔ https://www.chelseamae.comInstagram ➔ https://www.instagram.com/chelseamaecullen/Youtube ➔ https://www.youtube.com/ChelseaMaeSubscribe and see you next week.
