The One Question That Changes Everything: Finding Your Real Why

Description

I asked a client why he wanted to lose 20 pounds. 'To be healthy,' he said. By the fifth time I asked 'why,' we finally got to his real reason - and everything changed. In this deeply personal episode, I open up about my own journey finding my why through daily journaling, what I stand for (becoming your best self) and what I stand against (fear-mongering fitness BS). I share my foolproof 5-question method to dig past surface-level goals like 'lose weight' to find the powerful reasons that will actually keep you going when motivation fails. Plus, why 'looking amazing on my wedding day' beats 'being healthy' every single time.
