From Overdrive to Ease: Hussa’s Journey ...

Kiki Athanas
About this episode

What if you could have everything—the success, the rest, the freedom in your body—and it could actually feel easy? In this powerful episode of Let’s Get the Skinny, I sit down with Hussa Al Hassawi (@hussa.lifeconsultancy), life coach, mother, and 10/10 alum, for a raw and radiant conversation about the lies we’ve been sold as women: that to be successful, we must sacrifice; that to be thin, we must suffer; and that to be lovable, we must hustle.

Hussa shares her deeply personal experience of finally dropping into her body after a lifetime of emotional eating, people-pleasing, and operating in survival mode. Through the 10/10 Method, she didn’t just release food obsession—she reclaimed her power, pleasure, and the peace she didn’t know she was allowed to have. You’ll hear how slowing down brought her more money, more joy, and the ability to nourish herself in ways she never imagined—without the scale, the guilt, or the chaos.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything “right” but still feel stuck in your body, your hunger, or your life—this episode is your invitation to pause, feel, and choose a new way forward.
