Dancing in the Discomfort Zone with Anne Bonney
Let's face it, life is uncomfortable. Whether it's interacting with other humans (or trying to), going after our goals and improving our lives, or understanding other people's perspectives, preferences and proclivities, being able to face the discomforts in life with courage, compassion, confidence and resilience will make life a lot more enjoyable! So join me as we DANCE IN THE DISCOMFORT ZONE! We'll explore new ideas, learn how to build our confidence, courage and resilience, and laugh a little too, because life is serious enough. We need a little cha cha, and a little ha ha every once in a while! Welcome to the Discomfort Zone with Anne Bonney!

Stop Dieting. Start Learning. A Midlife Weight Loss Wake-Up Call with Sabine Richard
What happens when you’re eating “healthy,” doing all the right things, and your body still refuses to cooperate? Or you diet and lose weight...and then find it again?
In this episode of the Dancing in the Discomfort Zone Podcast, Anne sits down with Sabine Richard (revealyourself.info ), who shares her powerful and refreshingly honest story of gaining 42 pounds in her 40s after moving to the U.S. and how years of restrictive dieting, cutting foods, and starting over again and again only made things worse.
Sabine opens up about the uncomfortable (but freeing) mindset shift that finally helped her lose the weight and keep it off for five years without giving up chocolate, cheese, or her sanity. Together, we unpack why what worked in our 20s and 30s often stops working later in life, and how sustainable change requires learning to eat, move, and think differently...especially for women navigating midlife, hormonal changes, and identity shifts.
If you’ve ever thought, “Why isn’t this working anymore?” this conversation is for you.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Why restrictive dieting and willpower backfire, and what actually creates long-term weight loss after 40
- The difference between counting calories vs. understanding macronutrients, and why food quality matters more than math
- How committing to discomfort, mindset, and non-negotiables creates freedom...not restriction
