June shares how her journey was not just about losing weight but also about changing her lifestyle, thinking, and building self-esteem affected by the stigma of being overweight. They explore the broader aspects of health that go beyond diet and exercise, including mental well-being, social connections, and adapting to challenges women of a certain age face.
