Join Vera-Lee as she introduces the podcast WTF.lab. What, The, Flab instead of WTF (You know the one! - although everyone who has struggled with weight has had a WTF moment, or two, as well!). Flab is a term used for the excess weight held particularly on arms, legs tummies and butts, and also applies to the loose skin when a large amount of weight is lost along with the skin tone.
It also refers to the fact that I believe everyone who has been obese, or overweight, had had many WTF moments in their lives, so yes, at times you may exchange the WTF.lab with WTF! However, the .lab is all about the positive approach to weight loss with small changes you can implement today, wherever you are on your journey. I am all about seizing opportunities, and as someone who was 196.4kgs (440lbs) and has lost a whole person before WLS, I know a little about the journey and plan to help you with great tips and encouragement for how you too can join me on the losers bench (the good one!).
Do you know the difference between and dream and a goal?
Spoiler alert! It's the movement! The action you take. That's the big secret.
That's where the WhyMeMovement is all about the actions we take including the decisions we make - discovering the opportunities to grow and learn through adversity. Vera-Lee has a special interest in helping people on a weight loss journey, particularly those who relate to morbid obesity, former/forever athletes, pre or post weight loss surgery, chronic illness and disability. Vera-Lee understands how to help you with the emotional and mental side of weight loss and conditioning, using a combination of techniques and allied professionals to best support your unique needs.
She is a coach who applies techniques for calm yet powerful sessions to help you achieve goals and improve your personal and professional confidence in every area of your life.
If you really want to achieve results in your life and you are ready to commit to the process with Vera-Lee, who understands what it is like to overcome adversity, time and time again, you can book your discovery call now by clicking this link to find out how she can help you overcome your obstacles and rediscover passion and confidence to set and achieve those goals you desire.
Vera-Lee hosts the WTF.lab and WhyMe podcasts as a woman who has gone through so much herself she is often referred to as "the adversity queen". Vera-Lee is from Australia and has an extensive background in Education, Sports Coaching and Business Administration, Management Consulting. She is a survivor of sexual assault and domestic violence, and a number of life threatening disabilities including severe vocal cord dysfunction.
