Ep. 042 The Real Reason You’re Not Following Through (It’s Not Discipline)
Description
Summary
Ever feel like you know what to do… but still can’t seem to follow through?
It’s not a motivation issue. It’s not self-sabotage. It’s your mindset—and the invisible beliefs running the show behind the scenes.
In this episode, I’m breaking down:
🧠 How stress, trauma, and outdated beliefs block habit change—especially during perimenopause
💥 The real reason willpower keeps failing you (and what to use instead)
➡️ The exact mindset reframe I teach clients to overcome all-or-nothing thinking
🛠️ Tools and rituals that actually help you follow through on your health goals consistently
If you're tired of starting over, beating yourself up, or wondering “what’s wrong with me,” this episode will help you finally get unstuck—and stay that way.
