Walk into the holidays with a plan for your brain, not just your plate.
The Merry Mindset Challenge is five live days of mindset coaching for women who are pre-op, post-op, or on a GLP-1. Monday, Nov 16 to Friday, Nov 20, the week before Thanksgiving.
Save My Seat For $47!Let's pretend it's Thanksgiving. You're at the table. Your aunt is passing the stuffing for the third time, someone just said "you barely ate anything," and the pie is staring at you from across the room.
Your stomach is full, but your brain is still looking at that pie.
That's because surgery changed your stomach, not your brain. And the holidays turn the food noise all the way up:
"It's a special occasion."
"I'll be rude if I don't."
"I'll start fresh in January."
If you've ever said that last one, I see you. I've said it too. I used to think that the new year meant I could snap my fingers and change my habits, as if January 1 held magic discipline I just hadn't mastered yet.Â
What's Inside The Merry Mindset Challenge
Live Sessions With Me, Every Day!
Five live sessions, Monday to Friday, the week before Thanksgiving. Bring your questions (and your coffee).
One Tool Each Day
Each day you’ll learn one simple tool and use it that night, so you walk into Thanksgiving and holidays beyond with a plan you’ve already practiced.
Real Coaching, On Screen
Every day I’ll coach a real woman through the deep version of that day’s tool, so you can see how far this work goes.
Here’s How the Week Works:Â
By Thanksgiving you’ll know what’s driving your holiday eating.
Sunday 11/15: Weclome!
Get settled in our community, meet the other queens, and sign up for a hot seat.
Day 1: Your holiday thoughts are not hunger.
Catch the thoughts running the show, and watch me take one five layers deep.
Day 2: Meet your Five Year You.
Picture yourself at the holiday table five years from now, and use her to make today's choices.
Day 3: Rewards that aren't food.
Pick one for Thanksgiving (or a future holiday!) and watch a big goal get broken down to Tuesday morning.
Day 4: The Holidays game plan.
Your triggers, your coping moves, and the exact words you'll say to family.
Day 5: Your happily ever after, mapped.
Everything from the week on one page, plus live coaching.

Meet Your Coach
Hi, I'm Chelsea, your Bari Godmother! I had VSG in 2019, and I've kept off 150+ pounds. Before I coached full time, I taught high school English for 16 years, so yes, there will be homework. (The fun kind. Gold stars are available.)
I don't do diets, and I'll never tell you to try harder. I'll teach you what's happening in your brain, and I'll be right there while you practice.
My first holidays after weight loss surgery were unexpectedly hard. I had a bad case of food FOMO, watching my family eat from full plates and go back for seconds.
And it didn't magically get easier once I hit maintenance. I'd fill up on bread and cheese at appetizers, so I couldn't enjoy the actual meal. I struggled with the no-drinking-while-eating rule. And I never knew how much dessert would send me running to the bathroom with dumping syndrome.
Here's what I wish someone had told me back then: you're not doing the holidays wrong. Your brain just hasn't caught up with your stomach yet. That's exactly what we'll work on together, five days, before you ever sit down at the Thanksgiving table.
Andrea
"Last night's masterclass was so wonderful! You bring so much light and happiness to people you engage with!"
Amber
"I have lost 160 lbs total, which is 100lbs since surgery! I still can't believe it. I have more to go, but I feel pretty incredible. :) Thanks for Mindset Mastery, it really helped me through the toughest part of right after surgery!"
This is for you if you're...
- pre-op Bariatric surgery
- post-op Bariatric surgery
- or on a GLP-1
and the holidays feel heavy, if you've been doing everything "right" and still feel the pull of the dessert table, or if you're ready to stop starting over every January.
This isn't a meal plan or a diet. This is mindset work, done together.
When are the lives?
What if I can't make them all?
Where does coaching and the private community happen?
Is this a diet?
What's the refund policy?
Thanksgiving is Thursday, Nov 26.
You can walk in with the same thoughts as last year, or with a plan you've already practiced. Registration closes Sunday, Nov 15.
Save your seat, girlie. I'll see you Monday.
All my love,  Chelsea
