Learning Brown and Fulfilment Brown and Desi Mum Brown #32

We are joined by inspiring mum-of-3 Surminder Dhesi, aka Sam.

Sam: "As much as I hate to admit it, I was overweight, which caused a lot of health issues. I was always in pain and all I wanted was to be pain-free."

She spent 14 fruitless months at the gym, training every day but not losing any weight.

Then in January 2020, she met Umar. And everything changed.

In just 6 months under Umar's tutelage, she lost 20 kilos of weight and the constant pain in her shoulder, hip and feet were gone.


She's a testament to what can be achieved with proper guidance, with commitment to a valued goal and by patiently following the process. We're thrilled to bring her story to you.


We discuss:


- what was wrong with her approach before Umar came on the scene

- the changes she applied to her mindset and lifestyle

- becoming a different person to make her goal a reality

- breaking cultural stereotypes, where Asian women put everyone else first above themselves

- moving forward in less than ideal circumstances

- going all in with the necessary nutrition changes

- starting from the very bottom with training

- "You're never too old to learn."

- getting accused of taking drugs for her weight loss!

- and much more
