In episode 3 of The Fit Without Obsession Podcast, we’re calling out one of the most toxic (but sneaky) mindsets holding you back: all-or-nothing thinking. You know the drill—you eat one cookie, miss one workout, skip your morning routine… and suddenly it’s “screw it, I’ll start over Monday.”

But what if you’re not actually messing up?

What if you’re just trying to heal inside a system that punishes flexibility and praises obsession?

I’m breaking down why all-or-nothing isn’t about willpower—it’s a nervous system safety response. We’ll explore how this mindset keeps you stuck in the binge-restrict spiral, why perfectionism feels safer than peace, and how to rewire your brain to finally trust yourself.

You’ll walk away with:

  • A totally fresh lens on self-sabotage (it’s actually self-protection)
  • Tangible mindset shifts to get unstuck and build real consistency
  • Three empowering strategies you can use this week to stop “starting over”

If you’ve been chasing perfection and burning down your progress every time life feels messy… this episode is your permission slip to rewrite the rules.
