Michelle Petties 

Motivational speaker, TEDx presenter, and award-winning author Michelle Petties is coming to Ruscombe with a powerful new 4-week interactive series:
The Brand New Truth About Losing Weight and Keeping it Off for Good

Michelle, author of Leaving Large: The Stories of a Food Addict, has lost and gained over 700 pounds — until she uncovered the secret hiding in her own story. Now she’s sharing what really works.

Starting Thursday, July 31 @ 6 PM and continuing every Thursday for four weeks, Michelle will dive into the emotional side of eating — tackling stress, emotional overeating, yo-yo dieting, cravings, and more.

Walk away each week with real tools to help you change your food story for good.

Mark your calendar – sessions start at 6 PM:

  • Thursday, July 31 – Stress Eating: Stress, Success and Hunger
  • Thursday, August 7 – Emotional Overeating: Food, Fear, and Facing the Mirror
  • Thursday, August 14 – YoYo Dieting: From the Neck Up
  • Thursday, August 21 – Cravings: Beyond Diet, Medication, and Exercise

Each session delivers practical tools to help you master the emotion-food connection — for good.  Evening includes informal Q&A and discussion, with light refreshments of healthy superfoods provided by J&J Café, currently in residence at the Ruscombe Co-op Café.  Healthy food tasting and tours of the Ruscombe Mansion follow the presentation.

 

Cost $20 per person per event

Discounted to $15 for professional health practitioners

20% off bundle for all four
