Hi Reader,

You are on a hero's journey, even if you dont think you are a hero.

Why?

Becuase we tend to focus on the struggles, not the story behind them.

You have already made a brave decision to embark on a bariatric journey. You did your research, you talked with medical professionals and dove into as much education as you could find.

Maybe you have even connected with people who have already had bariatic surgery to help you better understand the road ahead and what to expect.

Without knowing it, you have stepped into your own hero's journey and we want to show you how you can use this powerful tool to guide you in every stage of the journey ahead.

Most people don’t see their journey as heroic because:

• We focus on struggles, not growth.
• We compare ourselves to others’ “success stories.”
• We think heroes have to be extraordinary.
• We lack a framework to understand challenges.
• We feel unworthy of being called a hero.

Inside BariNation, we’re exploring the Hero’s Journey together in a 14-week experience. With guided reflections, prompts, and community support, you’ll see how your challenges are actually the moments that make you stronger — and how your story is heroic.

💙 You are not failing. You are the hero.
