In today's episode of Rhapsodic, Carmen is joined by her husband Daniel for a casual Q&A session. They're here to chat about Carmen's personal journey from losing 60kg to training for the Sydney Marathon (42.2km), all from Daniel's point of view. They're diving into questions from listeners, chatting about why Carmen went for weight loss surgery, the highs and lows of her journey, and the hard work it took to stick to healthy habits. And since this episode is a bit on the longer side, we've sorted all the questions and added time stamps. So, if you're looking for something specific, you can jump right to that part.
