When Astrid stumbled across my Facebook post, she was at a crossroads. “I need to lose 10kgs,” she had been telling herself repeatedly for weeks. After trying nearly every weight loss method, intermittent fasting, keto, and personal training, only to end up back where she started, she was skeptical of anything new. Yet something about my message resonated deeply.
“I knew right away this was different,” Astrid recalls. “From our first call, something clicked. Even before our formal sessions started, my thought patterns were already shifting, and it felt like magic.”
Astrid's journey, however, was not just about weight loss. As a stay-at-home mom who struggled with emotional eating and sugar addiction, she was looking for something more than just a smaller number on the scale. She craved freedom from food obsession, from fluctuating weight, and from the anxiety that had lingered for years despite traditional therapy.
Healing from the inside out
Through our sessions, Astrid began to see how her emotional patterns, subconscious programming, and past traumas were contributing to her struggle with food and weight. “Penelope helped me access my true self,” she explains. “It wasn’t about diets or exercise plans. It was about healing my energy and shifting my subconscious mind.”
One of the biggest breakthroughs for Astrid was overcoming her long-time addiction to chocolate. “I used to think about chocolate 5-10 times a day,” she says. “Now, I don’t even notice it.”
Astrid recalls a pivotal moment: dining out with family at a dessert spot known for its churros and chocolate. “Normally, I would have been fixated on looking at the food and frothing, wishing I could devour everything in sight. I literally didn't even pay attention to what everyone else was doing. It was a total non-issue for me to be in that environment.”
A lighter mind, a lighter body
As Astrid’s mindset shifted, so did her body. She shed 24 pounds/11kgs effortlessly, all without restrictive diets or exhausting workouts. “For the first time in 8 years, my wedding ring is about to fall off. This journey has been the easiest weight loss experience I’ve ever had.”
But it wasn’t just her body that changed. “I went from being an anxious, ‘lazy’ stay-at-home mom to someone with a morning routine and a dream job,” Astrid says. “Penelope didn’t give me a set of rules she gave me the tools to unlock everything I had within myself.”
Astrid’s transformation reflects the power of healing on multiple levels: emotionally, mentally, and physically. “Now that I’ve dropped from 70kg to 60kg, I see how silly the narratives I told myself were. I used to think, ‘I can’t lose weight because I’ve had two kids.’ But now I know I can create whatever life and body I want.”
Manifesting a new life
Astrid’s journey continues, not just in terms of weight loss but in the way she lives her life. “We’re off to the Sunshine Coast to explore neighborhoods and schools for our future move. More and more manifestations are coming to life!”
For Astrid, this journey wasn’t about numbers on a scale. It was about discovering her true self and releasing the burdens, emotional and physical, that had weighed her down for years.
Astrid’s words of recommendation
“Before meeting Penelope, I struggled through a decade of weight loss attempts intermittent fasting, keto, and intense workouts – that always felt painful and temporary. I was also addicted to sugar, and I ate copious amounts of chocolate every single day. Penelope's approach, free from strict diets, made weight loss feel easy and natural. Her guidance helped me shed past trauma and heal my energy, and I often return to her powerful weight loss meditations.
Currently, I’ve lost 11kgs, and for the first time in 8 years, my wedding ring is about to fall off. Penelope’s unique method brought me back to the truest version of myself, making the weight loss follow naturally. I highly recommend her for anyone seeking a truly lasting transformation.”
Conclusion
Astrid’s story is a beautiful example of what happens when we stop focusing solely on the external and begin healing from the inside out. Her experience shows that when we align with our true selves and release the emotional weight we carry, the physical weight follows naturally.
