Client Success Story: Devin’s Transformational Journey with Coach Chandra Zas

Coach Chandra Zas: Alright. Hello! Welcome, everybody. I am here with one of my former clients, Devin.

Devin Bostick: Hi, Chandra. Thanks for having me.

Coach Chandra Zas: Devin, thank you so much for being open to sharing your journey with us. I’m deeply grateful for you being here and sharing your authentic truth and experience. So, a massive thank you!

Devin Bostick: Absolutely. It’s great to be here.

Coach Chandra Zas: We’ve been chatting for the last 45 minutes, catching up. I’ve missed our sessions. How long has it been since we last worked together?

Devin Bostick: It’s been about a year and a half.

Coach Chandra Zas: Time flies! Let’s start by having you share a bit about yourself and what you’re doing in the world.

Devin Bostick: Sure. I’m Devin, and I’ve started a few businesses, including one in commercial truck insurance and another to help people with personal injury claims. I also assist a few startups, mostly in the logistics and insurance sectors. Outside of work, I love hiking and being outdoors.

Coach Chandra Zas: Fantastic. Can you share how you found me and what led you to sign up for coaching?

Devin Bostick: I found you through a mutual friend who had done some interesting work in food. At the time, I was under a lot of pressure with my first startup. I felt the need to grow the business quickly and serve a high volume of customers. This self-imposed pressure was tied to my validation and self-worth, and my habits were suffering. I would compulsively overeat, constantly snack, and feel a lot of anxiety. I wasn’t sleeping enough, missed workouts, and drank too much coffee. Additionally, I was dealing with gout and heavily reliant on wine to unwind.

Coach Chandra Zas: That sounds intense. What was the tipping point that made you realize you needed to work on your health?

Devin Bostick: I had an identity crisis when I started experiencing lower back pain and realized I needed to take care of my health for a long, happy life. I wanted better brain performance and productivity, which led me to reach out to you. Plus, dealing with gout was a wake-up call that I needed to change my lifestyle.

Coach Chandra Zas: I remember that well. You wanted to focus better and be more productive. Can you share more about the changes we made together, including how you managed your gout and wine consumption?

Devin Bostick: We worked on cutting out processed foods, managing stress, and improving my sleep. I stopped drinking alcohol, which significantly improved my focus and productivity. This change also helped eliminate my gout symptoms. I felt more intelligent and made clearer decisions. This reduced the amount of cleanup I had to do in my business and increased my overall efficiency. The shift away from wine as a crutch for stress made a massive difference in my health and mental clarity.

Coach Chandra Zas: That’s incredible. How did these changes impact your cravings and relationship with food?

Devin Bostick: The changes were profound. I no longer felt the urge to overeat or snack compulsively. I became more deliberate about my food choices, which improved my energy levels and overall health. I also started tracking my biomarkers, which helped me stay accountable and aware of my body’s needs. One memorable moment was after indulging in sugar at Easter; I couldn’t focus on reading my book, which reinforced my commitment to healthier eating.

Coach Chandra Zas: That’s wonderful to hear. How do you feel about the tools and techniques we used during our sessions, including the use of plant medicine?

Devin Bostick: The tools, especially the internal human algorithm of change, were incredibly powerful. They helped me gain awareness and make conscious decisions about my habits and actions. Additionally, integrating plant medicine into the program was transformative. It helped me process emotions more deeply and align my mental and physical well-being. Using plant medicine, like psilocybin, allowed me to feel more connected and in tune with my inner self, facilitating long-term thinking and reducing my ego-driven responses.

Coach Chandra Zas: I’m so glad to hear that. Who do you think would benefit most from my coaching program?

Devin Bostick: I believe individuals who are achievement-oriented and goal-driven would benefit the most. Those who want to set their own goals, improve their health, and gain better control over their lives would find your coaching invaluable. On the other hand, it might not be as effective for those who are content with external goal-setting and don’t feel the need for introspection.

Coach Chandra Zas: Thank you for sharing that, Devin. Is there anything else you’d like to add?

Devin Bostick: Just that working with you has been a transformative experience. I’ve never felt healthier or happier, and I encourage anyone who feels stuck or overwhelmed to consider your program. It’s an investment in their future well-being.

Coach Chandra Zas: Thank you, Devin. It’s been a pleasure working with you and hearing about your journey. Thank you for sharing your story with us.

Devin Bostick: Thank you, Chandra. It’s been a great experience.
