I Lost 11kgs In 2 Months

Have you ever tried something new, only to stumble on a result that completely floors you? Sometimes a tiny change can shift everything for the better. In today’s episode, I share how a single tweak in my approach led to an amazing result that blew my mind.

I cover how challenging it can be to step away from what feels normal, plus I reveal the key steps I took and why they worked. If you’ve been feeling like you need a boost or a fresh spark, this story might give you the nudge you need.

An Unexpected Realisation

This week, I approached a problem in a way I don’t usually do. I had a goal in mind, but I knew my routine methods weren’t cutting it. I was chasing the same results without real progress.

Then it dawned on me. I needed to try something new. I shifted gears and made a small array of changes. It wasn’t easy at first. My brain was like a stubborn puppy resisting a new trick. Yet the payoff was huge once I pushed through.

There’s a point in the episode where you can literally hear the excitement in my voice. I’m surprised by how this change affected everything else in my life, including my mindset. I realised that stepping into unknown territory can bring a jolt of energy you never saw coming.

"I wanted to talk about this epic result I had, and what I did to create it. It was different from my usual approach and it even surprised me."

What I Did Differently

The main thing I shifted was my focus. I stopped looking at the big, daunting mountain and zoomed in on a small, specific action. Instead of obsessing over the outcome, I put all my energy into the process.

Here’s the crazy part. That single, small action created a ripple effect. Once I tackled the first step, I automatically wanted to do the second. My motivation snowballed from there.

If you want to give something like this a go, try:

  • Defining one tiny, crystal-clear goal
  • Reserving a short window of time to tackle it right away
  • Celebrating the mini-success before moving on to the next step

Focusing on one step at a time rescued me from overwhelm and gave me the courage to keep going.

Overcoming Mental Hurdles

Our brains are built to keep us safe, and safe often means staying stuck in our comfort zone. We love the familiar, even if it’s not serving us. I ran into self-doubt. I wondered if this idea was pointless. But I pushed that aside and placed trust in the experiment.

Sometimes you have to trick your inner critic. I used a simple prompt: “Let’s just see what happens.” This rhetorical nudge kept me curious and open to possibility. Before long, the doubts quieted. I noticed my energy shifting to excitement.

When you deal with both dyslexia and ADHD, negative thoughts can be extra sticky. Telling yourself “It’s an experiment” can cut through the noise. You stop judging yourself for potential missteps and stay focused on discovery.

How This Episode Can Help You

Throughout this podcast, I dig into the ingredients that helped me make that leap. I also share a few stumbles, because no one is perfect. You’ll hear about how to reframe failure so it becomes part of a brilliant learning curve.

You’ll learn about:

  • The power of celebrating mini-wins
  • Why focusing on a single bite-size action can dissolve overwhelm
  • Simple ways to handle fear when you’re trying something new

At first, I worried people might see my success as a fluke. But I’ve come to believe that these “flukes” are signs that a new approach is working. The bigger story is the courage it takes to step off the beaten path and how that helps you grow.

If you’re curious about how to harness that spark, you’ll find plenty of tips in the episode. The podcast player is just above, so it’s easy to jump in and get the full scoop.

  • Epic results don’t have to come from epic changes.
