Episode Summary


Do you ever feel like you know what you need to do to be healthier… but you still push back against it? Maybe it feels like rebellion. Maybe it feels like resistance. Either way, it’s frustrating—and confusing.


In this episode of The Woman of Wellness Podcast, I’m diving into the psychology behind why we resist healthy habits (even ones we want!), where rebellion comes from, and how you can break free from the cycle of starting over again and again. If you’ve ever felt like you sabotage your own progress or fall off track as soon as you start something, this episode will bring both relief and direction.


 


What You’ll Learn in This Episode:


✅ Why rebellion and resistance are normal responses to habit change
✅ How your identity may be getting in the way of consistency
✅ The difference between “I should” and “I want to”—and why that matters
✅ How to overcome perfectionism and finally create habits that stick
✅ 6 clear strategies to shift from resistance to action (without forcing it)
