Struggling to follow through on your goals OR getting your clients to follow through — even though they know what to do? It’s not a willpower problem… it’s a mindset one. In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Kasey Jo Orvidas — PhD in psychology, certified health and fitness coach, and creator of the Health Mindset Coaching Certification — to break down the actual science behind lasting behavior change.

We dig into:

  • Why you sabotage your goals (even when you want to succeed)
  • The truth about willpower, motivation, and self-control
  • The difference between guilt vs. shame — and why it matters
  • How to build real consistency through self-efficacy and mindset shifts
  • What coaches and health pros need to understand to help clients change for good

Whether you’re tired of “starting over” or you’re a coach wondering how to help clients finally follow through, this episode is packed with practical psychology and zero fluff.
