Don't let the title of this episode mislead you, Audrey is so much more than a weight loss machine. Not only does she know how to set a goal, hold herself accountable, and have an unfathomable drive to accomplish whatever she sets her mind to, she also learns from her journeys which is an extremely undervalued attribute these days.We know this is a long one but it's definitely worth getting to the end! Audrey provides some incredible gold nuggets as it relates to weight loss mentality and what she's learned through her experience.It was so fun to sit down and chat with Audrey! This episode can be split up into two segments. The first 45 minutes are dedicated to a lot of Audrey's childhood, family dynamic, work career (from divinity school to nanny to farmer), and wife, Audra, with the second half of the episode being committed to sharing her INSANE weight loss story.Audrey grew up in Weymouth and then went to Wellesley College. She talks about her younger brother who was challenging at a young age especially with her being 8 years older than him. She describes a really cool story about how her brother found Karate at an early age and now owns a studio! We also dive into her career path and how she seamlessly jumped from one career to the next. Towards the end of this segment, she describes her first date with her now wife, Audra.This woman went from weighing 298lb to 190lb IN LESS THAN A YEAR!!! She wasn't an overnight success. Growing up, Audrey always struggled with her weight. She had done a lot of yo-yo dieting which kept resulting in her weighing more than when she started after the diet ended. The best part about her weight loss story is towards the end as she's nearing 190lb. She came to the realization that it's not actually about the number going down on the scale that mattered. What mattered (and still matters to this day) is how she felt, how she could interact with her son, and how she could use her body to do things she never thought possible.We are so proud of you Audrey. You've come so far not only physically but mentally as well. We cannot wait to see what the future has in store for you! Thank you so much for taking the time out of your hectic schedule to sit down and chat with us, you're the best!
