We're ending January with the four words that can change your relationship with food, your body, and yourself forever.
In this episode, you're going to learn:
Why "This will not stand" and "I will not give up" keep you locked in battle
The clinic lobby story and why "calm down" never works — on anyone
The real difference between addressing actions vs. needs
The moment a therapist flipped the switch with one question
How acknowledging emotions creates instant empathy and relief
Why force creates resistance — and how it turns you into your own enemy
The four most powerful words: "What do I need?"
How to use this question to meet fundamental needs directly
Why Connie Rice's work proves you cannot legislate behavior change
How compassion turns enemies (even inner ones) into allies
Key Takeaway: The next time you're face-to-face with cravings, resistance, or old patterns, don't attack yourself. Instead ask: "What do I need?" Those four words are where permanent weight loss truly begins.
Inside Love Yourself Thin, you'll learn to meet your needs, calm your brain, and build a life you love. This is where your repair, renewal, and long-term freedom begins — no matter your age, your history, or how long you've struggled.
I've done this myself, and I've helped hundreds of women do the same. You deserve that freedom too.
