It is HERE! The doors to Starting Point School are OPEN! So what is it? What's included? Who is it for? And how will it help YOU make this the year you finally change your habits for good?
It's time to relearn how to approach your journey so there’s no more all or nothing mindset and falling off the wagon. This is the year you prioritize your health and stay consistent, but in THE simplest way. Let's go, time to learn all about Starting Point School!
Over and over, I hear from our listener community that the biggest struggles keeping them from losing weight and just feeling feel good about their bodies and their habits were the following:
Lack of consistency because mom life is demanding and it's hard to get into any type of routine
Lack of discipline around food because of stress
Feeling overwhelmed with all that there is to change and not knowing where to start
I was in that same place after my first was born. I remember being cleared and thinking "How in the world am I going to be able to get back to the level of discipline and consistency I know I'm capable of?"
It felt like I needed to climb Mount Everest.
No matter how long you've been a mom, when you're ready to take your journey on and actually get consistent — it feels like a lot. And that’s normal, as are the big struggles most moms face that I mentioned above.
The purpose of Starting Point School is to address those struggles and give you a different way. A doable approach amidst the craziness of motherhood. A process is not a quick fix, but creates lasting change in your mindset and, most importantly, your habits.
What is Starting Point School?
It is a self-paced program where you'll relearn how to approach your journey through the lens of your HABITS as a mom so there’s no more all or nothing and falling off the wagon.
Habits are things you do without much mental effort, if any at all. And we are rewiring those.
You've probably had a "Day 1" in your journey where it felt like EVERYTHING took mental energy — getting up with your alarm, working out, eating a good breakfast, actually prepping a lunch, actually eating a whole-foods based dinner…
It felt like it took a lot of effort because it did. Those were not habits yet, you had to make intentional choices about each thing each time.
The issue is that we try to change ALL of the things at once — working out more consistently, eating healthier, waking up earlier — and before we know it, everything has crumbled because none of it truly became a HABIT.
Starting Point School takes a 1 habit at a time approach — we find your Starting Point (aka first habit) you'll MASTER — truly master — and then build on that again 1 habit at a time.
This is what makes real change happen.
It’s different than typical fitness or nutrition program because I do not say "Do this workout on this day and eat this much food and you're good to go! Get after it!"
No. We're peeling back the layers and digging into why you do what you do.
This is what you’ll be doing in Starting Point School!
You'll start off by learning the foundations of weight loss so you have a grasp on the 3 fundamental pillars of weight loss and can go through Starting Point School equipped and confident and not longer confused about weight loss.
Then you'll go through the Starting Point Process which includes self honesty, finding your Starting Point, and then getting fully equipped to stay consistent with education, resources, and accountability with other Starting Point School members and myself!
How long will it take?
You will get through the content in Starting Point School in a short 1-2 weeks! I actually provide 2 calendars to follow so you have accountability not just with your habits, but with completing Starting Point School.
Implementing the Starting Point Process you learn in Starting Point School will take a few months. Because of that…
Here's the catch:
It felt wrong to say "Here you go! Learn and do! It'll take a few months to build a handful of habits, but you got this!"
Going through the learning piece of the program is self-paced, but you will have accountability as you implement the Starting Point Process over the course of the 3 months following Starting Point School enrollment!
In this launch, that means January through the end of March, mama! think of how different your journey could look by then by just changing ONE habit at a time! You could literally have 5+ NEW habits — true habits — things that are just part of how you show up — IN YOUR LIFE! Likely spanning fitness nutrition and routine!
THIS is how you make the real change, and I'll be there for you literally every step of the way.
You won't be trying to figure this all out on your own anymore.
What’s included with Starting Point School:

FULL TRANSCRIPT
[00:00:00] It is here. The doors to starting point school are open. So what is it? What's included? Who is it for? And how will starting point school help you make 2023 the year you finally change your habit? It's a place for you to relearn how to approach your journey so there's no more all or nothing mindset and no more falling off the wagon.
This is the year that you prioritize your health and stay consistent, but in the simplest way, and all of it happens with starting point school. So let's go. I'm about to tell you all about it. Hey, mama. Welcome to the Tough Love Mom podcast. I know you're here because you're ready to get consistent and finally lose that weight, and you're not afraid of a little tough love.
You know what to do to lose weight, but following through on those things feels impossible. You wish you could just feel like you're strong, confident self again, and want to be a good example for your little ones, but you get [00:01:00] thrown off by mom guilt in the unpredictability of motherhood. It's frustra.
Taking on your journey postpartum is hard, but it's not impossible. Hey, I'm Liz, and I've been where you are. I gained a lot of weight in my pregnancies, 90 pounds and then 60 pounds. I needed to lose that weight to take control of my health, and honestly, just wanted to feel like my. Self again with the sustainable approach to weight loss.
Simple consistency in working on my mindset. I lost it all in just over a year, both times, and I'm here to help you do the same. I believe that we have an ingrained ability to figure out what we need to do, make it happen, and do it in a way that AWS the world. If you're ready to stop falling off the wagon, create solid, routine, and healthy.
And finally, feel your best inside and out, all enjoying Dino nuggets on your salad. You are in the right place. We're about to transform your journey, my friend. Get pumped up. It is tough. Love time.
The whole premise of this [00:02:00] podcast is to speak into the lives of Moms, a message of getting disciplined and staying consistent. So when moms join our listener community, they answer a few questions. So I can better understand why mamas are in there, what they're wanting out of the podcast and what they're struggling with.
Most things like that over and over again. When I read these responses, the biggest struggles that I see keeping moms from losing weight and just feeling good about their bodies and their habits and how they're showing up are these three things. Lack of consistency because mom life is so demanding and it's so hard to get into any type of routine, a lack of discipline around food, most likely because of stress and being overwhelmed with all that there is to change and not knowing where to start.
You may look at my life and go, well, she probably didn't struggle with a lot of that, but after my first was born, I remember being cleared at six weeks and. I came home and I was like, how in the world am I going to be [00:03:00] able to get back to the level of discipline and consistency that I know I'm capable of?
It felt like I was going to be climbing Mount Everest and yes, um, I was just about like a month and a half, two months postpartum. But no matter how long you've been a mom, when you're ready to take your journey on and actually get consistent, it feels like. No matter what point you're at, when you're ready to start making change, it's a handful
It feels like a handful, and that overwhelm is so normal, as are the other struggles that moms face. Like that lack of consistency because of the demands of being a mom and just not being able to get into a routine, having a lack of discipline because you find yourself. You know, eating on the go or emotionally eating cause you're stressed and just trying to cope with all that is motherhood, or you're overwhelmed because you know where you're at right now and where you wanna get, but it feels like there's this huge gap.
So if this is you, if you're struggling with that, or if you're at that point in your journey where you're like, I'm sick of falling off the wagon, I just wanna do this the right way. Lean in, [00:04:00] listen in. Let's talk about what starting point school is. So it's a self-paced program where you will relearn how to approach your journey through the lens of your habits.
As a mom, this, this program is tailored to moms. That way you don't have to get trapped in that all or nothing mindset. You're not starting Monday eating healthy, working out and trying to get up early. You're not doing that all at once because that will lead to falling off the wagon. We don't, don't take that approach and.
I do want you to remember, cuz we focus everything through the lens of our habits in this program, and habits are things that you do without much mental effort, if any at all. They're things that are ritualistic. Almost a response. You've probably had a day one in your journey, a Monday, you know, a January 1st where it felt like everything took mental energy, right?
You're getting up with your alarm. You have to make that. Working out. First thing, it's a choice. Eating a good breakfast, actually prepping a [00:05:00] lunch, actually eating a whole foods based dinner. These are all choices and they're taking a lot of mental energy every single day, and that's because those were not habits at that point.
They're all things you have to put mental effort into and make intentional choices about. Now, that's normal at the start of a. , any changes that you wanna make in your life will feel that way at first. The issue is that we try to change all of those things at once. It felt exhausting and you probably fell off after a few weeks cuz you were trying to do all of those at once.
Putting more mental effort and then you even have to give. And when you do that, everything will crumble eventually because none of it truly became a habit. Even if you were able to hold onto that for a few weeks, when one thing changed, everything else started to cru. Now. That's okay if you've been there.
I've been there and that's why I created starting Point school. In there, we will take a one habit at a time approach. We find your starting point, which is the first habit that you will master, truly [00:06:00] master, and you'll build on that, again, one habit at a time because this is what makes real change happen.
It's different than your typical fitness or nutrition program because I will not say, Do this workout on this day, eat this much food, and you're good to go get after. It doesn't happen in starting point school. What we do is peel back the layers and dig into why you do what you do. Let me take you through what you'll actually learn.
So you'll start off by learning the foundations of weight loss. That way you'll have a grasp on the three fundamental pillars of weight loss, and you can go through starting point, school equipped and confident and knowledgeable, and no longer confused about weight. Because that's almost the biggest pain point there is there's so much information out there.
It gets confusing. You know, our understanding of it all gets blurry. We simplify it, and that's how we start starting point school. You learn about weight loss and how simple, how to simplify it, what the basic foundational pillars are, so you can just focus on [00:07:00] those and truly master them. Then you'll go through a specific process.
It's called the starting point process, and it includes self. Finding your starting point and then fully equipping you to stay consistent. Literally everything from education resources and accountability with other starting point school members and myself. That's the starting point process, and like I said, it's self-paced, so you will get through the learning piece of all of this, the foundations, and then the starting point process in one to two weeks.
I actually provide two calendar. So you can follow and have accountability, not just with your habits, but with completing starting point school. When you sign up, I'm holding your hand to the fire, and I'm saying you're gonna do this. Here's one calendar to get it done in one week, and here's another calendar for you to complete it in two.
And actually, our first group accountability call will be two weeks after the doors open. It'll be that second week of January. So if you sign up today or these first few days that the doors are open to starting point school, you'll be two weeks in when we have our first group [00:08:00] accountability call and diving into your starting.
Perfect timing, but I do wanna say, this is the catch . It felt wrong for me to say and approach this program is, okay, here you go. Here's all the information. Go learn it and do it. And I do want you to know it'll take a few months to build these habits in, but you've got this, it felt wrong for me to just say, here's the equipping, go do it, because I know you need accountability.
So yes, while going through the learning piece of this program is self. And should only take you one to two weeks. You're gonna have accountability as you implement the starting point process over the course of the three months following starting point school enrollment. So literally through the end of March, you will have direct accountability with myself and with the rest of the starting point school members that come with us on this journey in this first round.
And that's literally, like I said, January through the end of March. Think of how. Your journey could look by then by just changing [00:09:00] one habit at a time. Literally, you could have five or more new habits, true habits, things that don't take any mental energy. You just do 'em because it's who you are and how you show up in your life, likely spanning the pillars of fitness, nutrition, and routine.
I'm not kidding. Can you, can you imagine that three-ish, three, four months from now having five or more new habit. Things that are just who you are because it's how you show up in your journey down pat. Man, this is how you make real change, and I'm gonna be there for you every step of the way. So I want you to close your eyes and imagine this for a minute.
What would your life look like if you woke up feeling good in your body and excited about how you're gonna show up that day? Even if life gets crazy, you know it's not gonna affect your journey because over the past few, You've been diligent about getting solid with one habit at a time. It's March and you're like, I got this.
I'm working out consistently. I feel really [00:10:00] confident in how I'm eating and fueling my body and approaching nutrition, but I've done it in the most sustainable way and I know no matter what today brings, I can keep it going. You've gotta work, workout planned for mid-morning cuz that's just in this season when it works best.
And when your kids go down for a nap, you don't find yourself mindlessly eating and standing in front of the pantry every 15. Just to cope and try to, you know, de-stress from the morning with your children. Your family eats an actual home cooked meal most nights a week. Now, instead of throwing together randomness or drive through food like it used to be, you're making a plan for your meals throughout the week for your dinners.
You're shopping for it and you're, you're cooking, you're following through. You don't stress eat when the kids go to bed either, no matter how rough bedtime was, or bath time, all those old habit. They're gone because you've truly changed them and your family, they've had your back the entire way cuz you did this, the sustainable [00:11:00] way.
You didn't try to, you know, pull your hair out and white knuckle it by doing it all at once and stressing yourself out and stressing your family out and overwhelming everyone and getting frustrated with yourself and taking it out on your family when you fell off. That didn't happen. This. because you took it on one habit at a time.
Using the starting point process. Your kids see a difference. They cheer you on. They hold you accountable cuz they're like, mom, you're supposed to work out right now. Right? , that happens and you realize that working out with them isn't as bad as you thought it would be, and your husband, he's really proud of you.
He sees the difference and you are proud of yourself. That confidence that you woke up with this morning, About how you're gonna approach your day about what you're doing and the habits you've built. Yeah. Part of that confidence is because your body's changed. But a majority of that confidence comes from the fact that for three or four months now you have followed through on what you've always wanted to do with your health and fitness.
It's not this pipe dream [00:12:00] anymore. You're actually doing it, but it worked this time because you did it, the sustainable. It was a long process and it took a lot of, you know, focus on the process and one thing at a time and one day at a time. But you've reached that point. Now, this is what's possible with starting point school.
You won't be trying to figure this all out on your own, and you will not be alone or confused or overwhelmed. , this is what you're gonna get when you join Starting Point School, which is literally open today. I cannot believe that. So right off the bat, you get two calendars that you can follow, choose from one of 'em, depending on, you know, what life's got going on for you right now to follow incomplete starting point school.
And you can start if you decide to sign up today, but you wanna start in January totally. Like this is self-paced for a reason. I'm not telling you to start on a certain day. I'm not telling you to watch videos at a certain time of day or show up for this call at this time. It is tailored to your life and your schedule.
If that means, [00:13:00] if you like to get up early, get done early, get done early before the kids get up. If you like to do this kind of stuff after the kids go to bed, great. Replace your Netflix show with starting point school for like a couple days and you're good to. , you're gonna be equipped. So the calendar's tangent there.
There's a one week calendar and a two week calendar, and it won't take any longer to learn. Learn this process. Not implement, but learn. It's self-paced. So like I said, you don't have to show up at a certain time of day or day of the week, which is, you know what starting point sessions are like. I've got certain times booked out that work for my schedule, and you have to show up at that time for your starting point session.
But starting point school, it's on your. , you can fit this in when you have five minutes, 10 minutes. Golly. If you get to spend like a Saturday morning at a coffee shop, you can knock out half of this . It fits in the mom cracks of the day. Cause I get it. There's no training within starting point school longer than 15 minutes because I know how busy your life is and I don't [00:14:00] want you having to show up for hours at a time.
And there is no need to show up for a certain length of time. You can listen and learn while you're doing laundry or cooking dinner. If you have to pause in the middle of a 10 minute video, totally fine. Totally fine. Is it ideal if you can sit down at a desk and work through it all with no interruptions?
Sure, but it's not required and honestly it's not necessary and it might not be realistic, to be honest. I mean, I have interruptions when I'm working at home, so it is what. , the trainings are short to help accommodate that cuz I understand and you can learn this whole process within two weeks and immediately apply it to your life.
The most time consuming piece is step one, that self honesty piece because you're gonna spend some time doing some reflection work. But be, again, being mom myself, I understand that you don't have all this time to sit down and journal and write. So I made sure that the questions and what you're working through to reflect is as.[00:15:00]
And effective of a process as possible while helping you uncover your starting point. Gosh, I cannot wait for you to get in here. So you're getting these two calendars. It's super tailored to what your life looks like as a, as a mom, likely of little kids. And it's, it, it truly is designed to fit into your life and not to be this extra thing on your plate that's gonna stress you.
Now, next thing that you're getting is education about what brings about weight loss. So there's no more confusion about the foundational factors that help you lose weight. And something I included in this is the most doable, realistic approach to nutrition for moms. You'll learn more about that in starting point school.
There's also a workbook so you can keep track of your work and your progress throughout starting point. and resources as well to help you along this journey. Some of these resources are included are a personalized habit tracker, a couple different ones, journaling [00:16:00] questions, a full list of free workout programs that I would suggest.
So you, if you, you know, one of your starting points or Stepping stones eventually is within the workout fitness realm. You have free programs that are approved by the Tough Love mom. To follow free, and they're awesome. They're phenomenal. Um, you've also got my favorite recipe resources, which are also all free.
Um, a meal brainstorming sheet and meal planner, and so much more as a starting point school student. You're also gonna get lifetime access to our exclusive group of fellow moms for encouragement and guidance and accountability and q and a sessions with me every single. Now this is what I'm most excited for because I know accountability is the biggest piece in our journeys in creating this change.
So I knew how to be part of Starting Point School. So what's included for you is group accountability calls. This is included in the price of starting [00:17:00] point school is group accountability calls for three months following your enrollment in starting point school. That's January through the end of March.
Literally three months worth of accountability with. Bo, and there's gonna be a bonus add-on if you want to add this to your starting point school enrollment of one-on-one accountability with me. As you implement the starting point process, you'll have the option of one starting point session or a package of three.
And in the new year, I will tell you this, my starting point session prices are going to go up, but as a starting point, school student, you will get to add them on to your package for the old. For the, the lower price when you join Starting Point School. Now, since is the first time we're opening the doors, not only will you get the lowest price ever for starting point school at just $97.
You're getting the starting point School workbook to guide you through this school. All of those bonus resources [00:18:00] and free monthly group accountability calls with me as you navigate not just starting point school, but the starting point process through the end of March. That's three whole months of extra accountability included.
This is not something that will be a free bonus down the road. Um, this is the only time I'm offering this to the moms who join starting Point School for. . Now, this is based this whole thing. The starting point process is based on work that I've done with dozens of women over the last six months. So if you wanna hear about their experience with starting point process, go listen to episode 141 to hear all about how the starting point process changed the lives of moms just like you.
I have so much confidence in this process, not only because it's one that transformed my journey and my life, and it helped me. My all or nothing mindset for over four years now. It's made real change in moms just like you two. So I'm [00:19:00] so confident in it that we're offering a money back guarantee. If you're not able to identify your starting point and get consistent with it within 30 days.
Is it an investment? Yes. But this being the first time the doors open, it'll be the lowest price ever offered. And let me ask you a question really quick. If price or cost is something that is a concern in your mind, because I understand financial responsibility is that of us as parents, and so I get that.
But I wanna ask you a question. Are you going to get some boutique gym membership or another fancy workout program from that fit online influencer just to fall off? or are you gonna find yourself floundering when the 21 days or the six weeks of that program are over? Are you going to buy that 30 day diet book and do it for January?
But then February 1st comes and you're right back to your old habits. You know, spending all that time prepping, you're gonna spend time, all that time and energy prepping food for [00:20:00] all your meals. Just go right back to your old habits when it's over. How much. Have you spent on one thing after another, or one supplement after another, or one product after another, or one, you know, fitness influencers program after another just to feel like you're on this roller coaster that's stressing you out.
Or even worse, ugh. How much irreplaceable time have you spent trying and trying and not really changing? Gets me so deep, like it's like a dagger to the heart. When I hear moms that struggle with that, not because of you and the choices you've made, but because you're being told the lie that this will be the answer for you.
This is what will help you change, when really it's just a bandaid on a problem. You're not addressing habits. You're just, you know, white knuckling habits and not really making them a habit. These could be the dollars the couple of weeks that build the found. For real change in your journey [00:21:00] physically and in your habits.
So this is the start starting point. School builds the foundation. I want moms to be confident not just in their bodies, but in how they're walking out their journey. And this is how you do that. I want you starting next year the right way, finally. , this can truly be the last year that you start over on January 1st for real.
And you can start today because starting point school is open. It's open. You can sign up. Literally enroll today. And you will get immediate access to the brand new exclusive Tough Love Mom client community. You're gonna get immediate access to starting point school, so you can start learning about the foundations of weight loss and going through step one, and then figuring out your starting point and learning how to stay consistent.
I mean, don't do it all in one day, but you can literally get started with that today and have your starting point and start working on being consistent with your starting point [00:22:00] on January 1st. Man, how exciting does that? , I cannot wait. I cannot wait to see the impact that this has on you and your family and those around you as you implement this process, as you work through it, not alone, but alongside moms who have not just the same struggles but that value.
The same things as you moms who are done with doing things the way society says is. , but wants to set a healthy, sustainable, balanced example for their kids. You're gonna be alongside moms who know it's not just about weight loss, but overall health and simply feeling good in your body and in how you're approaching your journey.
I'm asking you to say yes to this for you, but also for your kids. If this speaks to you, go to starting point school.co and get signed. doors will close on Saturday, [00:23:00] January 7th, and they will not back open back up until later in the spring. Group. Accountability again, it will start the week of January 9th and last through the end of March so you can really solidify not just your first starting point, but every single stepping stone that comes after real change, multiple habits.
