This week, we sit down with the ever-bold and refreshingly real Lisa Callahan of Transformation For Real. As one of the earliest champions of Girl on the Left, Lisa brings her unfiltered honesty and fierce wisdom to the mic as we talk about the sneaky language of backhanded compliments (what she hilariously calls a “complissault”) and the way her body once rented a studio apartment in her head for free.
We go deep into her experience inside the weight-loss industry, including her time at Weight Watchers, and how that path led her to a powerful pivot. From chasing her “Porn Star Weight” to finding true self-worth beyond the scale, Lisa shares what it took to break free from diet culture and rise as a coach who now helps women lead with power, purpose, and unapologetic confidence.
This episode is for every woman who’s ever been reduced to a number, a label, or a compliment that didn’t land quite right.
