Hey Weight Loss Nation! Who out there has suffered the loss of a loved one? Who out there was bullied in school? Who lived a terrible childhood, because you had an alcoholic parent or an abusive parent? I'm sure many of you can relate to one of those situations. I was bullied when I was younger, because I was FAT! That's right.....bullied. So what did I do because I was bullied? I ate more! I ate cookies and ice cream quite frequently. That only caused me to gain more weight.  Today, I had a wonderful conversation with Jody Agard, Author of the book, "Let Love In 101: A Practical Guide to Love and Happiness." If you've ever experienced betrayal, grief, or loss, you know how difficult it is to climb your way out of those dark places. For many years Jody wished there was a “reset button” that would bring her more inner peace, love, success, and happiness. She wanted so desperately to let go of the past so she could confidently move forward. She was tired of fear, doubt and worry consuming her life. She wanted to stress less and smile more. She didn't know how she would do it, but she began her quest. After having her world shattered and her heart broken into a million pieces, when young fifteen year old Jody Agard learned her dad committed suicide, everything seemed to go downhill from there. Nineteen years after her dad’s suicide, she found herself desperately searching for ways to improve her life. At the time, she was raising two boys as a single mom; she was financially unstable and working in a career that no longer made her happy; leaving her feeling exhausted, unfulfilled and overwhelmed. In this inspirational work, author, inspirational speaker and relationship coach, Jody Agard shows you how to find happiness within yourself and restore balance in all areas of your life. Jody discusses a wide array of topics including; forgiveness, guilt, fear, and self-love to name a few. Throughout this book she walks with you, giving you practical tips to bring you more clarity, peace and many practical tools for those challenging times. Jody candidly shares her journey, allowing the reader an inside look at the steps she took to transform her inner and outer world as she began to pick up the pieces of her life. She discovered, there wasn't one “magic button”, but instead, a series of principles and easy-to-apply steps she began implementing into her life. Jody is living proof that the practical principles she discusses in these pages really work. As you read, you too will discover that you have the ability to create a life filled with a new perspectives, bright beginnings, abundant love, balance, and deep personal meaning.
