#170 | Why Losing Weight Feels Hard for Women over 40 & How to Make It Easier


Listen Later

Hey friends! If you’ve ever felt like losing weight is way harder than it should be, you’re not alone. 

The truth? Your brain isn’t working against you—it’s just following old patterns.

But the good news is, you can retrain it!

In this episode, I’m breaking down three simple steps to make healthy changes feel easier:


✅ Step 1: Accept that change feels uncomfortable. It’s part of the process, not a sign of failure.


✅ Step 2: Shift to a mindset of curiosity. Instead of beating yourself up, ask why certain habits keep happening.


✅ Step 3: Prepare for success. Set yourself up with small, realistic changes instead of relying on willpower.

Losing weight doesn’t have to feel overwhelming.
