If you’ve ever struggled to follow through on a plan you were totally committed to in the moment… this episode is for you.
Whether it’s your eating habits, exercise routine, or just showing up for yourself, real transformation doesn’t come from being perfect—it comes from building the skill of follow-through, especially when life gets “farkakte” (Yiddish for covered in shit).
In this episode, I’m breaking down exactly why follow-through is so hard—and how to make it feel easier, more sustainable, and even enjoyable.
You’ll learn:
✅ Why habit change starts with interrupting your automatic patterns
✅ The dopamine trap that keeps you stuck in a negative self-image
✅ How to shift from “planning mode” to actually doing the thing
✅ The surprising connection between follow-through and self-trust
✅ What to do when life derails your best-laid plans
✅ Why small wins matter more than perfect plans
✅ How to become the “CEO” of your weight loss journey
This episode isn’t about doing more—it’s about doing the right things consistently in a way that actually feels doable in real life.
