A Note of Thanks This Season

Published 2 months ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader,

As the holiday season invites us to slow down and reflect, we want to pause and say thank you.

Thank you for tuning into the BariNation podcast, for following along on social, and for leaning into conversations about growth, healing, and what it really means to care for ourselves well.

This season invites many people to reflect on faith. Faith in something bigger, faith in new beginnings, and faith in what’s possible.

Along the bariatric journey, that same kind of faith often shows up as trust: trust in yourself, in your care team, in the process, and in your capacity to keep showing up even when the path isn’t clear.

We’re grateful you’ve chosen to walk part of that path with us.

Every listen, every comment, every shared moment matters. And we can’t wait to keep learning, growing, and building alongside you in the year ahead.

With appreciation,
​April, Jason, Natalie and the BariNation Team

Learn and practice habits with Melanie Lindell, therapist and patient

Hi Reader, It’s February, which usually comes with an uncomfortable realization: Most New Year’s resolutions have quietly passed away.No funeral. No announcement. Just… gone. 😅 And honestly? That’s not a failure.They didn’t fail because you failed.They failed because resolutions are built to fail by design. ➡️ Resolutions are usually rooted in shame (“I should be different”) and blame (“If I just tried harder…”). And we know this, especially in our fight against obesity, shame and blame never...
