Last week was about what you’re not giving yourself (self-denial).
This week is about what you’re FORCING yourself to do (discipline, willpower, and white-knuckling your way to weight loss).

Last week I was saying: "Stop depriving yourself of what you actually need."
This week, I'm saying: "Stop forcing what doesn’t work."

In this episode, I'm flipping the script on the method most women think they need to succeed: willpower and discipline.

Because 'willpower' isn’t the answer—it’s part of the problem.

In this episode, I'm breaking it down:

  • Why relying on willpower to lose weight always backfires.
  •  The SCIENCE of pleasure—how joy feel-good hormones help make your weight loss sustainable.
  • Why outdated weight loss approaches keep you stuck in struggle mode, and what to do instead.

You deserve SO much more than another exhausting round of "just try harder."
It’s time to stop forcing what doesn’t work—and create a way of eating and living that feels good.
