And I'd love to hear from you!

If you've ever gone all-in on a diet, nailed it for two weeks, then quit the second you slipped, this episode explains why.

I tell the story of the engineering weed-out class that nearly broke me (and kicked off a five-year emotional eating habit) and use it to unpack the real reason perfectionists struggle with fat loss: you can't tolerate being a beginner. All-or-nothing thinking, the need to make an "A" on every attempt, and the shame that lands the moment you're not perfect are exactly what trap you in the start-over cycle.

I'll show you why self-compassion is the missing skill that makes weight loss actually stick, and why letting yourself be a "C student" with food might be the kindest, most effective thing you ever do for your body.
