Comparison has a sneaky way of robbing us of joy, making us feel like we’re always falling short. It’s easy to get caught up in what others are doing, but that mindset keeps us stuck and unfulfilled. By shifting our focus to our own progress and celebrating our personal milestones, we can reclaim our happiness. Life becomes richer when we stop measuring ourselves against others and embrace our unique journey.

In this episode, I dive into the often-overlooked aspect of weight loss: dealing with disappointment. We'll explore the emotional challenges that can arise when progress feels slow or when goals aren't met as planned. You'll learn practical strategies for managing these feelings, reframing setbacks, and staying motivated on your journey. Whether you’re facing a plateau, feeling frustrated, or simply need a fresh perspective, this episode will equip you with tools to handle disappointment and continue moving forward with grace and resilience.

Success Pain refers to the subconscious tendency to create failure our of a need for familiarity and comfort.

Do you react to life or do you actively shape it?

For many women, we stop creating our lives on purpose. We don’t dream and curate the life we want. We don’t think about what we want or need and as we age, we either think we’re headed towards the end of our life, or we start to light up.

Do you want your next chapter to be one that you wrote or are you going to let someone else write it?

It’s okay to want more. It’s okay to create the life you want. In today’s episode of the podcast, I give you the questions to ask yourself so that you can begin creating your life on purpose.

I struggled with my weight pretty much my entire life. I started to notice that I was different around eight years old. Other people noticed too and had things to say about it. That led to years of dieting and feeling like my body wasn’t good enough. When you carry extra weight, everyone can see your struggle and you can’t hide from it. It created a level of shame within me.

Shame makes you feel like you're broken. Like you aren’t enough. You are not broken. You are enough. There is a way to start to have more love for yourself and to start to heal your relationship with food.

In today’s episode, I want to share a personal story and give you my take on all the things out there weight loss and diet culture related.

Do you ever think I just need more motivation or willpower? Motivation is a feeling. It lasts about 90 seconds. It is influenced by external factors such as immediate rewards or the intensity of a specific goal, which can quickly diminish or change.

When you keep relying on the need for motivation, you will stay the same. You will stay stuck. I believe that we have used motivation more as an excuse. It’s our primitive brain wanting us to stay the same, to stay comfortable.  Listen in to find out what is more powerful than motivation.
