In this episode of the Full of Words podcast, Sue Kennedy and CJ welcome Brian Parana — a seasoned health coach with over 23 years of experience in fitness, nutrition, and behavior change. Brian has guided clients from all walks of life, from Olympians to everyday professionals, helping them achieve sustainable results through the power of small, consistent steps and intentional communication.

Brian shares how the language we use can either move us toward our goals or hold us back. He explains how strategic questioning and reframing can unlock deeper self-awareness, shift limiting beliefs, and inspire meaningful action. From helping clients achieve significant weight loss to empowering them to make bold life decisions, his approach is rooted in empathy, clarity, and consistency.

Whether you are seeking to improve your health, boost your confidence, or simply communicate more effectively with yourself and others, this episode offers insights you can apply immediately.
