The Livy Method Podcast - What Is Going On With Me?

Episode Date: June 29, 2026

What if the reason you feel off today has nothing to do with the food? Odette and Kim are co-hosting this week and they're getting into what it really means to listen to your body when life gets busy, seasonal, and a little loose around the edges.Canada Day is coming, the patios are open, and the structure that felt solid in the spring is getting tested. This conversation covers the difference between "what is wrong with me?" and "what is going on with me?", a simple reframe that changes everything. They unpack how to use Back on Track with intention, not as the excuse it can quietly become. And they get into the science of community: why surrounding yourself with people who get it actually makes your body feel better.This episode aligns with day 71 of our Spring 2026 maintenance program.

I'm going to be honest with you, this podcast is unapologetically a hot mess because that is what midlife feels like sometimes. Why, though? And how do we make it better? Do we all just need facelifts and g-lp-1s? I mean, let's talk about it. No bullshit, no wellness wankery here because we're trying to make real change and change is hard. But we're in this together. Welcome to the Living Method podcast. I talk a lot about living lighter and I'm not just talking weight loss. I'm talking about the the weight that we carry, that has nothing to do with the size of our bodies. And so many women, I know, especially in midlife, are looking to pivot. They are looking to design the life that they know they are meant to live. And so I went and wrote a book about it. It's called Live Lighter.

And starting on June 28th to July 5th, Indigo is going to add it to its most anticipated Canadian titles. And you can pick it up for 30% off. It doesn't actually hit the shelves until September 8th. then when it does look out. Because I want this book to not only be a gift to you or a book that you gift to someone else in your life, I want it to be a whole movement because I don't know about you, but I'm ready to change. And everything in this book is everything that I've learned from helping hundreds of thousands of women make change, including myself. So if you want to pick up your copy and pre-order it today, go to indigo.com. Hello, hello. Here we are live in the maintenance group for Mindset Monday. So a bit of a different format today. So I'll be a different format today. So I'll

So you will see that Kim is joining me. She is here in Ontario all the way from BC. So Kim is here from BC, meeting in Ontario. Gina is in P.I. I feel like we've got the whole country covered today. And how appropriate with the Canada holiday coming in. Hi. Hi.

So nice to have you here. It's nice to actually be here. So Kim's been in town to celebrate a friend's 50th birthday party. And so we decided to just have some fun this week and go together live. So we are going to figure it out. I apologize if there was no countdown music for you to get started and get settled. But we are here. We are ready to go and we're going to get into it.

So week 10 of the maintenance program. So of course we're continuing with that food plan revamp this week. So the guidelines came out on Sunday. So yesterday, if you can get a chance, you can have a revisit of those. So you understand exactly what the tweak is. But in Eminem style, we are changing up the focus. So this week we're talking back on track to that ultimate tool for life. We're talking that mind-body connection, connecting beyond the food.

And we're also talking about your support and surroundings and how this can really make a big difference when it comes to your maintenance journey and being able to sustain your weight long time. So welcome. Thank you, Kim, for being here. Thanks for having me. Like literally all weekend. Yeah, literally all weekend. Well, you know, we talk about community and being around people that support you

and you feel and that you can support at the same time. And, you know, we all work remote. And it's so nice to be able to connect and foster that relationship. Foster our work community just as much as it is important to foster our group community. So it's nice to have you here side by side. Yeah, it's great to be here. We haven't, I was saying early this morning, we haven't seen each other since September. Yeah.

So it has been a long time since we've done an in-person visit. And it was definitely time. Yeah. So it was good. It was a good chance to connect. And I think when we do see each other, we come out a little bit stronger and able to support members and groups and stuff a little bit better because we've had that one-on-one connection with each other. Yeah. And it's like a, it's like a refresh, you know, and you feel re-energized. And we can talk in person about what's what's going on in the weight loss group. What are the members feeling there? What are they maybe feeling challenged by or what are they celebrating? And same goes for maintenance. It's so you can take away what our maintenance members are saying and help to apply that in our. weight loss. I feel like when we come together, we can have these real conversations.

Yeah, for sure. For sure. Okay. Let's get into it. So we want to talk, um, that mind-body connection and connecting beyond the food. So, you know, we've worked so hard to listen to our bellies. What is our belly telling us? What is that, what is the, what are the cues? What are the messages that our body is giving us? You know, when it comes to being satisfied with how certain foods made us feel. But our body's always giving us messages. And it goes so much more beyond the food. Of course, that's super important. We're not saying, you know, we want to let go of that to focus on this. When we talk about that connection beyond the food, it's really asking yourself with curiosity, what is going on with me? I think we have this tendency to say, oh, I'm out of sorts.

I don't know what's wrong. There must be something wrong with me. And automatically that puts you like in this threat mode, like in this like, I need to fix something. I need to do something. I need to go more hardcore, where we want to shift that when, you know, maybe we're feeling not great as the day goes on. So is it because what's going on with you is that you didn't sleep very well? Or maybe you are thinking ahead to something stressful that might be at work. So I think just changing that narrative to what is going on with me away and away from what is wrong with me. It just, it just helps to reprogram your mind that you're not needing to be fixed. We're just need to be curious. Yeah, and I think that gives you an opportunity, like you said, not go right into the

negative of what's wrong. I have to do something about it to just stop and take a pause. Like, is there something simple I can do to make me feel my best right now or to make me feel better right now? Like sometimes when I'm not feeling great, I've noticed that I've had three cups of coffee and I haven't had any water. It's not always about having to do a big revamp. It's like maybe I just need to take a pause. Maybe I just need to, like, slow down for five minutes, listen to my body and then start up again. Like, it's not, it doesn't always mean that there's like a big, um, grandiose gesture you have to do in order to feel better to fix it. It could just be just a little bit of awareness. Like sometimes it's, you realize that it's been an entire week and you've been

go, go, go and you haven't had an opportunity to pause, connect with friends or, you know, stay in touch with the people that kind of keep you supported and boosted. And yeah, there's always something different that you could be looking into. But I think that's a great conversation on like, what is it beyond the food that we can do to support ourselves? Yeah. And oftentimes we don't think of that. We just think of like, you know, I'm feeling, I just feel, like I said earlier, I'm just feeling out of sorts today or I'm just feeling not well today. Or I'm just feeling down.

And we don't take it that one step, you know, further to try and understand what's going on. And that can absolutely affect the choices you make. You know, like, I don't feel well today. I'm going to just eat what's convenient. I'm just going to eat what's, you know, maybe doesn't align with what my goals are or where I'm at. And that can be that snowball effect where, okay, I'm not figuring out what's going on with me. I'm just going to eat this because it's going to make me feel better or it's convenient. And then, oh, I did that.

Now that cycle of thought is like, oh, well, then, you know, I've backtracked so much. I, you know, where do I go from here? And I think it's, you know, it's really important to just take that pause, like you said. What is your body trying to tell you? What is, you know, up with you in the moment and just give that a bit of thought and curiosity? Yeah, we had a, there was a comment in the weight loss group this morning about somebody feeling like, just screw it, forget it. I can. Like, I just, I don't want to think about anything, so I'm just going to, like, go off the rails.

Because in the moment, that feels easier. And familiar. And familiar. Yeah, I think familiar, right? But when you're, if you really just take that time to like, why am I feeling that case of like, screw it? I don't want to do this anymore. What's bringing that on?

And oftentimes it's not because you don't want to take care of yourself. And it's not because you can't follow the food plan or go back on track or personalize the plan, whatever you're doing. Oftentimes it's something else that's coming in from outside that's got you at capacity. And the first thing that we generally give up is ourselves. Like taking care of ourselves. Like the easiest thing for us to get off of our plates is actually being aware of how we're feeling and what we need so that we feel like we feel like we have more energy to give to other people if we don't give that energy to ourselves. But I think that's one thing that a lot of people have learned from following the program and now maintaining it is that that's actually the opposite is true.

If you take care of yourself, it provides you with more energy and more capacity to take care of other people. Yeah, it really does. I mean, we're going to talk more about like surroundings and your support system and all of that and how they're taking care of yourself and making sure that your support system and your surroundings also take part in taking care of you. But it's so true. Like often if we just, we have that one day or those two days or like that you don't put that focus on yourself because you feel like you need to put it out word or, you know, we talked about this a couple weeks ago, but that feeling of selfishness of prioritizing yourself. This is how it can sometimes show up. This week. So I know in, weight loss this week as well as here in maintenance, although we are posting the post tomorrow, we're talking back on track. And back on track being that ultimate tool for life, it really is something that you're going to have, you can use, you can lean on, can really help you just get realigned when you don't know what to do next. What do you remember saying in weight loss about back on track this week? I think this week there, we've had, the majority of people are like, oh, this couldn't have come at a perfect time.

Right. And I think there's regardless of whether you're still trying to lose, whether you're trying to maintain this right now, this week in particular, is a big transition week because even though summer officially started on the 21st of June, most people don't think of summer until school gets out. Canada Day hits and all of a sudden it's summer. So it's like patio season is open. People have been going to the cottage.

People are, you know, planning getaways and stuff. And so, yeah, it's a really good. timing, I think really specifically this in the spring programs because it hits right around, you know, Canada Day, 4th of July, the big holidays that really are the kickoff. So it is, yeah, there are people are excited to have that in their back pockets because they have been sort of falling into that routine of, you know, get home from work, have a drink on a patio, have some chippies with it. Yeah. Then maybe we're not so mindful with dinner because we've already slid into this. So if you let that, you know, that kind of happens sometimes you get that

momentum going, whether the momentum is your positive momentum of you staying like consistent or that momentum is, you know, the drinks on the patio every day, even when there's not a social event going on or a special occasion, either momentum, when you start going in that direction, it's easier to keep the momentum going. So it's a nice little break. So I think it's good there. New members are excited to have something in their back pocket because as we approach the end of the program, that's what people are wondering like, what do I do if I go off the rails when I don't have the group to be able to check it? Yeah. And it's such a familiar calm place. And I know we talked about, we've talked about capacity before even this morning, we were talking about capacity. And

you know, when you feel like you have maybe gone off the rails, now back on track is, of course, it's this tool. Let's just, let's just back it up a little bit. It's this tool that you will always have. It's going back to that basic food plan. this calm, familiar routine that your body knows that you know. And what that's going to do is help you open up some capacity to think about other things or do other things. I think oftentimes when we maybe our past diet history or diet culture, we don't know where to go when we have been off the rails. Like, what do I do now? Do I, you know, deprive myself? Do I restrict myself? Do I, you know, belittle and berate myself? Where do I go next? And oftentimes that just spiral.

back into all those old habits, all of the beliefs and thought patterns coming up, where back on track is where you go next. That is what you do next. That is your guideline. That's your pathway. Yeah. And it's not back to square one. It's not back to the beginning. It's just back on track. And it's because this is a place where your body is familiar and it gets calm. So it's not about starting over. It's not about restarting your journey because you had a couple of days that were off, you know, you were off the rails or you were just off and, you know, not feeling, not following along, whatever. It is more to do with getting yourself calm, getting yourself with that familiar, it's that pause,

that pause to kind of think, what do I need? So I'm going to do this for a few days. And then, once I'm feeling better, I'll be like, what do I need to do to continue to feel my best? So maybe that's a difference between, you know, in the weight loss program and in the maintenance program, we've got the program to follow. But if you're maintaining, you've finished, you've solidified your weight and you're maintaining your weight. It's really about at that point jumping back into knowing what you need.

Okay, what parts of back on track made me feel better this week? Oh, it was the water. I went for a week with not drinking water. Or, oh, it's the food. I feel like you're speaking to me right now. Or, you know, it was a snack or whatever. I went too long without eating before. That's what got me off track.

And I think that's one of the differences between, you know, when you're first starting your process and the journey and your program and trying back on track, like some of the new members in the weight loss group versus here, is that back on track. You can probably more pinpoint what it was about back on track that really had you feeling your best. And then just using that as like, I wasn't eating enough greens from the last couple weeks. that's why I'm not feeling good. As soon as I went back on track, you realize like, oh, right.

That's what it was. So then you know, okay, I need to be more mindful of that as I move into the future. So I don't go to feeling that way again. I think what's also interesting and worth bringing up about back on track too is how we use it. Yes. And when it comes up, I feel, you know, our members in maintenance, they are trying to solidify their weight. They're trying to maintain their weight.

and this back on track, they're familiar with it, they've used it before, they know what it is, but I think you want to be really careful about the intention behind the back on track as well. You know, we've seen Mondays are always a big day for back on track. I'm going back on track and going back on track. And I think you want to be really aware of the cadence of that happening. You know, do you find yourself every Monday having to use back on track? Do you find yourself thinking, oh, I can, I can, I can. indulge in this as much as I want or I can do this as much as I want because I can always go back

on track. And this is where it can be that old diet mentality coming back. Like I can always start Monday. I can always start again. I can always start again where we don't want to allow those thoughts to come up. Back on track, really you want to reserve it for those times when you really need it versus as that crutch of sorts where you just rely on it every Monday or it becomes your loophole that you're using it, you know, every Monday. Because then that every Monday, that becomes your norm. You know, going off the rails becomes your norm because that's the language, the programming that you're giving yourself about back on track.

Yeah, exactly, the habit. Like, you don't want your habit to be having to go back on track every Monday because then how does that make you feel if you step on the scale and the scale is up? You know, how does that make you feel and you're like, oh, my goodness, I have to start again on Monday? That reprogramming, that vocabulary that you use can be really important. Yeah, I see this great comment from Judy and Haren, you know, how a great way to use back on track. Back on track has allowed me to enjoy travel because now I know I can try the local dishes

and know that I will get back on track as soon as I get home. After a year of that, with lots of trips, I know that works for me. So it's like perfect, right? Like that's exactly it. This is where you would implement that. That's a great example of now. Like so now, Judy, how do you feel about traveling? I know when people first lose their weight, we get in the weight loss group before somebody goes

on a trip. I'm worried. I'm nervous. I'm feeling all these things. They come back. They're like, I'm frustrated. I went away for a week and now my weight is up. You've done that a few times now.

I can imagine you probably enjoy your trip a little bit more and look forward to it because you're not thinking like, oh, what if I gain all of my weight back? You know you've got this in place. you get to feeling you're good and then you can just go right back to start planning your next trip and maybe you know invite odette and i to come with you yes we'll come judy we'll come with you um i think that's important like it's yeah when you're using the example of a trip or like a weekend event or even if you're not going anywhere it's your week of holidays like this week we're like i said we're celebrating canada day and then it's independence day july 4th for the u.s and we

celebrate that a little bit up here too we let our our holidays blend into each other that can turn into three or four days of, of, you know, gatherings and being off routine and eating like you maybe wouldn't normally. And that's when you really want to have back on track at, you know, at your fingertips. It's not for saying to yourself, well, I'm going to have some cookies and chips at night and I'll just go back on track tomorrow. Like, if that is the language that we're using and it's every night, I'm just going to have some chips and cookies tonight. I'm just going to have that again tomorrow night because I can always go back on track. That's not the way you want to use it. You want to make sure it's really reserved for those times. And you want to make sure that you

keep indulging in the habits that make you feel your best and not let back and track be the reason that you don't. That's not what it's used for. So speaking of your cookies, not your cookies, but cookies and chips at night, I know you did a three-day, um, no late night snacking challenge. Is that what it was called? Yeah. No nighttime snacking challenge. And the wayless group. So How did that go over? Because that's something I might implement here. I think it was kind of a, we love our challenges around here. So maybe that's something we can do.

Yeah, it was great. We had came off the heels of a live with Gina where, you know, somebody had asked to comment, as most of our challenges and things do. They come from you guys with about not really trying to not snack at night. And that has been a theme that we've noticed in the weight loss group is that people are feeling challenged by the nighttime snacking. People have the nighttime snacking sort of habit. They find it that it is creep back.

in. So we did a challenge. We purposely did it over the weekend because that's tough. I know. It was me. He was meeting. It was a weekend. I wasn't even around. But it was because that is what most people are Friday after work, you're tired. You know if you work Monday to Friday. You have your Friday cocktail. Even I know retired people, right? Like my mom has always been since she retired. She just allows her, she allows herself to have her things on the weekends or on certain days because she's worried that if not, she will have it every day and that will become the habit. So that's kind of the weekend was really, if we're struggling with keeping it together on the weekend and then having to go back on track every Monday, why don't we just implement

this challenge to see what we can all do and see how it affects us? And I think it's as much about maybe not crushing the challenge, but actually making note of what comes up, what feelings come up and how you feel, what questions came up and what really, like, sometimes it's a lot easier than we think it's going to be to not have that snack. It's easy to just say, yeah, I'll have the snack because you had it the night before or yeah, I'll have the snack because, oh, it's no big deal. I can just get back on track tomorrow. But it's also pretty easy to just be like, I'm going to wait.

I'm going to go for a walk or I'm going to wait and have a cup of tea. And that's kind of mine. I know I still sometimes want a snack at night. You know, you get peckish at night. You or you're somebody, there's a habit. Like somebody's watching TV. There's a movie. Oh, I think it's this time of year too.

Like the days are longer. Yeah. And like you said about, you know, you come home at night. The day, it might be a beautiful day. You want to sit in your yard or or just sitting in your house, really. And you have that sense that the day is still so much longer. Yeah. That you're going, you know, I'm just going to have this snack at night.

Or it's that. It's that association. It can be that association with summer, that more like loosey-goosey, you know, go-at-the-flow, letting in a few bits and bites of that is already starting to happen with these longer days, with the warmer weather, and that association with the summertime wanting to feel lighter and more unstructured. And that's where that can start to creep in as well. Yeah, the unstructed.

And, you know, I think the basics will always apply, you know, make sure that you're eating nutrient-rich as the day goes on, you know, starting first thing in the morning, making sure you're hitting that hydration. And I'm getting curious and asking yourself, why do I want to have these snacks? Is it because it's the summer association? Is it because I'm generally hungry? What can I do instead? How else can I enjoy the longer day? Can I get outside for a walk?

Can I just sit on my deck or sit outside and enjoy the weather? And have that be your summer association, not necessarily the snacking and less structure around that. Yeah. And one of the big takeaways, I was reading the comments that people left. So we put, you know, a little check in every morning to see how. everybody was doing and the I would say the biggest takeaway from people was how much better their sleep was when they didn't snack at night they woke up they feel like they felt rested and they felt like they got a good night's sleep so it really was I think a really good sort of showcase

of the other things like it's not just about having the snack and that make or breaking your weight loss it's not the snack itself it's what happens in your body when your body needs to digest that So whether you're choosing to have a perfectly healthy snack, like a veg snack or a nut snack before bed, or if you're choosing to have chips, it's not always about chips and ice cream and junk food. It's actually about the eating itself. Because I know that's another thing that a lot of people will do is like, oh, it's fine. It's just like it's healthy. It's still something that is, you know, on program or whatever, something from the food plan.

But if you're having it at night after dinner, then it still is going to affect your sleep if you're having. it too and that was the big takeaway I think from a lot of people was how it affected their sleep to not be eating at night and I mean if it's something that you need or you're feeling like you are actually hungry and it's not just a habit that you've gotten into really looking back on your day like why am I so hungry is it because like you said it's a longer day you're more active you're out like gardening and going for more walks and things like that is that why you're feeling hungry or is there something maybe you're missing through the day? And especially as we kind of, you know, we're getting into fruit plan of revamp.

We've got the one last snack in the afternoon. We're supposed to be bumping up kind of the protein and fats in our meals and snacks. Are you doing that? Are you falling into just having that fruit, just having the veggies for your snacks? Because you don't feel like it. And how is that affecting your hunger at night? And then as we go into next week's personalizing the plan, just really making sure it's a good reminder. when you are at the end of the day and if you are feeling hungry to think back like what did I miss

today did I miss something in my meals get curious yeah ask yourself what's what could be going on get curious get to know yourself yeah so I think that's with back on track it really is this incredible place it really is this incredible tool and I think like everything we say in maintenance it's that mindset it's that intention behind it why are we using it you know let's just let's not just go through the motions of back on track but let's think what's what's what got us to the place where we have to use it? You know, was it this conscious choice that I've had this week away, I've had this weekend, and now it's time for me to reset? Or is it starting to become that loophole, starting to become that crutch for you? Oh, I can just use back on track. I think

that's what the takeaway is for our members and want to use it. Because it can be, it can be a really powerful thing that they have learned that they will have. So, I mean, let us know. Do you, maintenance members, do you want to do a three-day snack challenge? I won't do it on the weekend. We'll be a little nicer around here, but maybe we can, something we can implement next week, and we can collectively do it together. And I think that there's so much power in the collective. There's so much power in doing it together. And I think when you know that your community is doing it with you, when you know that

there are others that may also be struggling with it, it's not just you who is struggling with nighttime snacking. It's not just you who's, you know, skipping meals and snacks or whatever it might be. you have this community that can help you rally and you can help them rally. So I think it's really important to bring light to some of the challenges that people are having and what they're talking about, but then collectively knowing that we're working through together. And I think this is the other point that we wanted to talk about this week.

We're going to talk about it later on in the week. Is your support and your surroundings? And we know this from Dr. Ruth Kane in her research, that your support and your surroundings and community and this social modeling. Dr. Jason Fung actually called it social modeling. can really be make a break when it comes to sustaining your weight loss long term. And what we mean by that is just being around other people, a community that understands you, whether it's online,

whether it is in person. And I think that it's important to know that we're never going to be able to avoid the support system or the support group that's not on our side. Like it's not going to be every day, all day. You're going to be able to surround yourself with people that get you and understand it. and understand your journey. But I think it can be a balance, right? Like, so you can have those times where it's not, doesn't feel supportive.

And then you have your community and your support system. And we were reading that having a support system and people cheer you on actually helps to release oxytocin, which is like that, you know, that feel good or, yeah, like that feel good hormone. And, you know, so just having that around you. It's whether it's like here in the community group, whether it's a professional support. system, whether it's just a very small curated group, having that to balance out when you're not feeling quite as supported can make a huge difference can be a game changer. Yep, really.

So collectively, like we were saying, working through this challenge of this nighttime snacking can be, you know, if we do it together, we're not alone. Yeah, and I think that's the best part about the challenge is your Jess. Like even the people that in the weight loss group when we did this challenge, it was even the people that weren't doing it, they felt they were feeling it together. So when somebody else was doing really well, they're doing it not for themselves, but, excuse me, for everyone. And they didn't want to let people down. But really, like I said, it was as much about learning as it was.

And if you learn, then you can learn to support each other more and support yourself more. Great. Well, I think we're going to do it. So here we go. Not this week, though, because it's Canada Day. We're going to have some fun. But maybe we'll put it into place next week. The other thing I want to talk about quickly before we go, I know we're almost at a time.

two things is we're going to be we talked about support we're also talking about surroundings and what we mean by surroundings is not necessarily not having you know chips in the cupboard or cookies in the cupboard that's not what we mean by surroundings but we mean that you know your habits are highly influenced or triggered by your environment so it could be something as simple as seeing your running shoes front and center it could be a matter of making sure your favorite water bottle is washed before the more morning so that in the morning you can just fill it up and go. I mean, if you see it, you know, dirty in the sink, you might all think, oh, I'm not going to forget it. I'm not going to, you know, fill my water bottle up right now. That's what we're in my surroundings. Make sure your surroundings are helping to trigger and influence the habits that you want to go use day to day. Well, and food wise, that doesn't necessarily mean not having chips in your house or not having baked goods in your house. It could just mean having some fruit and vegetables washed and cut up in the fridge. So it's just as easy to make. that choice as it is to choose something else. Or it can mean, you know, washing your workout clothes on a certain day every week.

So you've got like a week's worth of workout clothes. Or even just setting your day up for success. So you have time. Does that mean like setting up your day? Like let's shower and wash your hair the night before curl it the next morning. That's an example for me. Like if I'm going to take care of myself, I can set myself up for success and make sure that I have a good start to my day with my breakfast. if I've done everything I can the night before I'm going to bed to set myself out because

then I have time for that in the morning. So it's not always about not having things around you or putting things. It's about what can you do today to make your life easier tomorrow? What can you do in batches? Like it said, the laundry or the cutting up the vegetables and fruit. Like, are there some batch things that you can do that'll just make it a little bit easier to organize or ordering yourself some great containers off of Amazon or something like that or treating yourself to something from winners because, you know, it's going to make your life easier. It is about making the choices that make you feel good as easy as possible. So that's what you do every time.

Yep. Exactly. Well said. And I think another thing we want to talk about in terms of community is members who have seen in the group today is the launch of Gina's book, Live Lighter, that she wrote with her co-authors, Lynn Knowlton and Norma Tieson. And so this book is not about weight loss. It's about living well in your body, your home, and your mind.

So it's a beautiful book. It's beautifully written. The images are beautiful. And it's full of tips. It's full of takeaways of just how you can live your most fulfilled best life. Just, you know, it comes from a collective of learned experiences, personal stories. It comes from the influences of our communities. So it really is an amazing collective that you can have and can be part of your library.

So we would be remiss to not mention that it's on for presale right now. So it's 30% off through Indigo. Just for this week, it's part of their most anticipated Canadian titles. Of 2020. Of 2026. So LiveLider. So the link is here in the group if you wanted to pick it up. Of course, it's not available until September 8.

That's when it will ship out. But you can get on the pre-order. Also, anybody that pre-orders is being invited to a virtual celebration event. Right. Yeah, we missed that part. So there's going to be, I believe it's a virtual celebration. Details coming, of course. So we will let you know as soon as we know.

Just to be part of this, be part of this launch, be part of this collective of living our best lives. So we're super excited to mention that. Yeah. And I think, too, one of the things about the book that is, amazing is the whole reasoning behind it is an opportunity to bring this community together. So we all have that kind of common goal of wanting to live later, not just in our body, but in our minds and in our habits and everything. And this will be an opportunity for, you know, us to connect through the launching of the book

and different things such as, like you said, the virtual event where we can, it give us more opportunities to connect as a community too. So the book is really a great celebration. of all of us here. Everyone here. So speaking of connection, we are going to wrap up here soon, but Gina will be going live connecting with you all on Sunday. On Tuesday for a live Q&A session.

As always, she will be here 7 p.m. on Tuesday. Now Wednesday, we will be checking in, but we won't be going live on Wednesday for midweek motivation. It is, of course, Canada Day, so the team is off. Group is open so you can connect in the group. But we hope that you're out there. living your best Canada day life. And if you are one of our U.S. friends,

maybe, you know, looking forward to your holiday as well. Some of these tips will help you get through. So it's going to be a great busy week. But no midweek on Wednesday just so we can all enjoy the day and the team will be off. But tomorrow night, Gina will be going on. And I think that's it. What else we got to say?

I don't know. And that's all I got. Yeah. I think everybody's ready to go and have a great revamped week. thinking about back on track while you use it, what's your intention behind it? How are you using it and are you using it as a crotch or are you really using it as a, as just a reset and help you get back to feeling your best?

So Kim, thank you. So Kim's flying home today back to BC. So we're going to savor these next few moments together and then get off to the airport, I guess. Yeah. Yeah. Well, thanks everybody for joining us. Thanks guys. The link for the book is here in the group.

And we will see you. Well, we'll be checking in, but we'll see you live. again next week. Bye. Bye.
