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.

What I’m teaching my kids about body image and food
What I'm teaching my daughters about body image and food... lots of nuggets, and some controversial opinions, I believe this is going to be helpful whether you're a parent or not...Here’s a sneak peek of what to expect:I DON'T hold beauty as a value metric. I don't call my kids pretty or cute. I don't call myself beautiful or believe I need to I don't think stretch marks or loose skin or rolls are beautiful or that it matters. I don't think every woman has to be beautiful because beauty is just wrapping paper. I'm trying hard to come against a beauty-obsessed culture by saying screw it rather than expanding my view of what 'beauty' means.Tune in to hear this and more about how to raise kids who view food and their bodies WELL!!📚 Join my FREE Kickstarter Challenge👇https://www.chelseamae.com/kickstarter-about📆 Get a FREE 1:1 Weight Loss Consult to see how we can help you smash those goals https://fitwithplants.com/schedule-your-call-6🤙 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.

Dieting and stress - how to keep going life get’s too hard
My life get’s really darn hard. There are so many days I don’t feel like I can cope and yet somehow I’ve maintained 40lbs of weight loss, while running a business, being a busy mama and having a husband with a disability.10 years ago I did NOT have the toolkit to make that happen and it’s been trial and error and many books on behavioural science later that I have a toolkit of 6 habits/mindsets that keep me going on my worst days.They are: I know that 100% effort isn’t required to see results, but SOME consistent effort is always needed. Consistent minimal effort beats intensity EVERY time. You don’t need to sprint, but you do need to put 1 foot in front of the other. Ask yourself what that looks like everyday. It changes. I don’t pendulum swing. Your circumstances aren’t binary, behaviour doesn’t need to be either. I’m looking for the best I can do even on my worst days I set minimum targets rather than big goals. I have a level of external support and accountability even when I’m feeling like I can’t do things. I make my life easier so I’m more likely to follow through on good behaviour.Simple tools but they truly work.If you’re needing more personal help and accountability to lose fat, jump on a free strategy call with our team to see how we can help you get lean 📆📆 Get a FREE 1:1 Weight Loss Consult to see how we can help you smash those goals https://fitwithplants.com/schedule-your-call-6📚 Join my FREE Kickstarter Challenge👇https://www.chelseamae.com/kickstarter-about🤙 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.

Effort is the price of success
At the beginning of the year, I said my goal for this year was to be mediocre, however even though I believe there are times when mediocrity can be helpful, it can also be a hinderance.Success requires effort and perseverance, for there is no gain without pain. Hard work serves as the key that unlocks the door to triumph. The things truly worth having in life are not obtained effortlessly; they demand dedication and resilience. Weight loss is one of those things, it doesn't come easy, it takes time, dedication and consistency to see great results. Success is not a mere gift bestowed upon us; it is earned through relentless commitment and determination.The more we invest in our endeavors, the more satisfying the victory becomes. The journey towards success is marked by a path paved with hard work, guiding us towards our aspirations.It's important to remember that if success were easily attainable, everyone would have it. Yet, it is the challenges we face and overcome that make it truly meaningful. 📚 Join my FREE Kickstarter Challenge👇https://www.chelseamae.com/kickstarter-about📆 Get a FREE 1:1 Weight Loss Consult to see how we can help you smash those goals https://fitwithplants.com/schedule-your-call-6🤙 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.
