I'm so pleased you're here for another podcast episode. I'm going to introduce you to Arielle today. She's a remarkable woman whose journey has rekindled her mental and physical fortitude through the art of boxing. In this episode, Arielle shares how she liberated herself from a narcissistic relationship. Drawing from her martial arts journey, she not only empowered herself but also founded her own boxing club. Through this venture, Arielle now coaches those grappling with their own challenges, helping them access their inner strength and unlock their physical potential.
This episode invites you to explore Arielle's journey and perhaps consider stepping into a boxing club or gym yourself. Would you consider boxing to help reset you health and fitness for 2024? Stepping out of our comfort zone can may surprise you!
Take care.
Claire.

"It's been a while, and I'm so glad to be back!
While you may have thought that was the end of the podcast, it was certainly a long pause. But I'm back, recording and looking forward to publishing new episodes.
So much has happened; you will hear how 2023 has had its challenges, but it's also important to keep showing up during difficult times.
In this episode, I discuss how future episodes are going to sound and how the podcast has evolved to cover the weight loss transformation of both the mind and body.
As a hypnotherapist, I want to dive deeper into mental health conversations because everyone looking to lose weight is often carrying more than the pounds they aim to lose.
Thank you for tuning in, please subscribe for future podcast episodes.

We all need encouragement from time to time and who better to share their weight loss journey than Tatenda, host of “Marvellous Encouragement."
Tatenda has always celebrated her curves and her motivation was never fuelled by a social media idealistic view of a woman's body.
This episode is very different from previous guest interviews as Tatenda had not struggled with weight or food choices from early childhood, teens, or twenties. Tatenda embarked on her weight loss journey at age 36 having lost the body confidence that she once adored. Tatenda found that celebrating curves was difficult in a UK size 22 body and compliments from her husband were difficult to take.
Tatenda felt embarrassed that she had got to a size 22 and she found herself hiding away in the bathroom to get changed and from social events.
You will hear Tatenda open up about how her excess weight had caused physical pains and how she didn't feel aligned with the health message she had to give working as a nurse. Motivating others to lose the weight they needed when she was a size 22 was something that Tatenda knew had to change.
Tatenda has now transformed her health journey and no longer worries about encouraging others. Tatenda wanted to share her encouragement on YouTube with her own channel “Marvellous Encouragement”.
The hiding away is now a thing of the past and Tatenda has taken back her power away from the scales and owns her weight loss journey. Tatenda shares how Slimming World, calorie counting & intermittent fasting have all helped her to step back into a healthy body.
Enjoy!

Happy Valentines!
Sending you big Saint Valentine's greetings.
It feels so easy to love those we truly cherish, so easy to offer friends and family compliments and words of encouragement, and yet how easy is it to truly receive that same love?
In this episode, you will hear how Charlotte is given an insight into how her negative self-talk has really impacted her self-esteem.
This conversation will show you how easy it is to repeat negative self-talk on autopilot and Charlotte's reaction to the mirror work I help her with.
You will be able to hear the hypnosis I guide Charlotte over on my Youtube channel following this link.
Hypnosis is simply a pure state of focus.
The question is what hypnosis are you currently invested in?
What words do you focus on to describe your reflection on autopilot? So many times I hear people refer to hypnosis as woo woo! Yet people are already in hypnosis - each time they focus on negative self-talk and truly believe those negative words to be true.

Life has changed so much since Ruth last recorded an episode with Slimming Stories on episode 16. You may remember Ruth sharing her weight loss success with Slimming World dropping from a dress size 22 to a size 8.
With newfound confidence, Ruth explains how she applied to the world-renowned school of performing arts “Lipa’ …just for a laugh! Ruth never imagined that she would be accepted as this had always been a dream and Lipa was a fairytale wish in a land far far away!
Meanwhile, Ruth became unwell and was suspected of early menopause.
More miracles were in store for Ruth as she explains how having polycystic ovaries meant that the dream of having children was something she had accepted would never happen.
Do you believe in miracles!!!!?
Take a listen and hear Ruth's fantastic news.
Before Ruth's Podcast recording, I was able to take Ruth into hypnosis to help with pain management and a painful memory after Ruth had suffered a miscarriage.
We never know the weight of the emotional pain someone is carrying when they embark on their weight loss journey. It was a pleasure not only to provide Ruth with pain relief but also to release her mind from being stuck in the moment of trauma from the miscarriage she had suffered.

I think I can vouch for the majority of my listeners when I say that most people committing to their weight loss have at some time sipped from the cup of Fad diets!
Even knowing that a juice diet is a quick fix isn't always enough to steer us away from investing in the notion that something with “tropical” in the title will bring about a subtropical magical fat-melting reaction without the hard work!
This week's episode is a minisode, one of many as I share a recent podcast sponsor opportunity. This was a little triggering as you will hear from my tone, my family thought this was a great idea! I had other thoughts and I'm sure you will all agree that declining the offer was the best move. Yes, I could have earned money however integrity and not having my podcast Spammed felt more in line with my Slimming Stories vision. Enjoy!

Each week I will be showing up and sharing my Slimming World weight loss journey and filling you in on the story so far.

it's been 6 months since my last Podcast episode I am now rejecting the excuse of not having time to Podcast!!
Without avoiding the obvious…it’s been a while!
Happy New Year!!! I am back with a whole new approach to podcasting.
Podcasting has been an experience for sure and one thing that has been in short supply is the time to continue in the way I previously did before I started my hypnotherapy business. However, I'm not one to quit and I wanted to share with you my new Podcast format.

In this week's episode, I bring you up to speed with my decision to rejoin Slimming World. I share my sugar craving update after 8 months of no temptation towards cake, chocolate, or sweets. If you're wondering…YES I am over the moon! I share the impact of being able to easily resist the glitter of sugar after receiving help using hypnotherapy.
You will hear about my new accountability for my Slimming World journey having decided to start a YouTube Vlog. This was far from an easy decision and if you click on the link to my YouTube Channel you will hear how quiet and nervous I was recording my first episode! Luckily by week two, the nerves had gone. If you're looking for extra accountability and a very honest insight into the on-scale and off-scale victories then I would love to see you over there.

Before mental health awareness week passes us by, I wanted to jump on and record an episode to support you in any struggles that you're feeling right now.
I want anyone that is listening to this episode to know that regardless of where they are at right now with their mental health, you are not broken and unfixable.
If you have tried C.B.T, N.LP, Counselling, E.M.D.R…..and have felt beyond the point of therapy this episode is especially for you.
I am giving you the chance for me to help you with a painful memory and the best part is that this is content-free, I do not need to know the details of the memory.
In this episode, you will hear how I explain that with the best will in the world if you are struggling with a painful memory from the past that a weight loss journey can feel like an uphill struggle.
I’m inviting you to offload the pain and while you will still remember the event the emotional pain will no longer be attached. I’m offering this to show you that there is hope and I'm offering this for free.
Listen as I read a testimonial from a lady who had spent years in therapy and how I helped her using this exact technique in just 10 minutes.
I know EXACTLY how this sounds! Honestly, even if you're skeptical I urge you to give this a try and break free from emotional pain.
**There are some people who may not benefit from hypnosis and once you register you will receive this information.

You may remember Debbie Fawcett from episode 42 of the podcast. Debbie lost 15 stone with Slimming World and like many people over lockdown found the food she craved too big a temptation.
Having kept in contact with Debbie I suggested helping Debbie with the food she craved using hypnosis to regain control. Hypnosis was a brand new experience for Debbie but nevertheless Debbie agreed and found Hypnosis to be extremely helpful.
In this episode, you will hear how Debbie thought she hadn't gone fully into hypnosis and yet after the session, the chocolate cake and biscuits didn't even make it to Debbie's mouth.
I totally understand how different the approach of hypnosis and hypnotherapy seems which is why I'm bringing the sessions to you!
After the session, Debbie could only associate the biscuits and chocolate cake with salt! Debbie had wanted to be able to go into her kitchen for a cup of tea without the desire for biscuits, it's safe to say that her wish was granted!
Here is the link to see Debbie's full episode over on YouTube http://bit.ly/YouTubeClaireOldhamWest
