ABOUT THIS EPISODE
What if better health begins with changing the way you speak to yourself?
In this episode of FIND YOUR FLOW, Lisa Roche sits down with health and wellness coach, personal trainer, and group exercise instructor Pam Sherman for an honest conversation about self-love, sustainable weight loss, nutrition, movement, trauma, grief, and learning to care for your body without punishment.
After nearly three decades in the health and fitness industry, Pam has learned that lasting wellness rarely comes from extreme diets, exhausting workouts, or criticizing yourself into changing. It grows through small, consistent choices that support the body you have today and the person you want to become.
Pam shares how the death of her brother forced her to confront unresolved childhood trauma, emotional pain, and the ways she had used constant movement to avoid what she was feeling. Her healing journey helped her move from a state of constant doing into a more peaceful relationship with silence, movement, food, and herself.
Together, Lisa and Pam explore:
• Why you cannot hate yourself into better health
• How grief and unresolved trauma can influence daily habits
• The difference between moving for enjoyment and exercising as punishment
• Why small lifestyle changes are more sustainable than extreme diets
• The importance of protein for women, especially during midlife and menopause
• How fiber, colorful foods, hydration, sleep, and daily movement support wellness
• Why women may need to eat more rather than continually restrict food
• How stress can affect weight loss and overall well-being
• Simple ways to add more protein and fiber to everyday meals
• Building strength and mobility for your future 80-year-old self
• How to speak to yourself with greater compassion and kindness
Pam also shares practical nutrition tips for creating more balanced meals, increasing protein without overcomplicating your routine, and supporting long-term health through realistic habits you can continue for life.
This conversation is for anyone who has tried to change through restriction, shame, overexercising, or self-criticism and is ready to approach health from a place of respect.
Your health is your greatest wealth. You deserve to eat, move, rest, and live as though you truly love yourself.
