Ever feel like life is throwing every curveball your way and totally knocking you off your weight loss journey? Oh trust me, I GET IT. But what if those obstacles aren’t actually roadblocks but legit detours nudging you towards your next big breakthrough?

In today’s episode, I’m sharing one of the most powerful mindset shifts I teach inside Mindful Weight Loss Academy—how to turn your setbacks into stepping stones. We’re talking about ditching the “why me?” mindset, taking back your power, and seeing obstacles as the exact turning points that lead to growth, healing, and real transformation.

I’ll get personal about my own story: like losing a pregnancy, struggling with infertility, and how those twists actually led me to some of my biggest wins (hello, Ezra!). Plus, I’m breaking down how this mindset shift can change your journey…whether you're stuck in a plateau, dealing with stress eating, or just feeling off track.

If you keep feeling stuck, stalled, or straight-up frustrated with your progress, this episode is your must-listen. We’ll talk reframes, pivots, curiosity over control, and how to rewrite your own freaking story. The obstacle you’re facing right now? It just might be the catalyst for your next breakthrough.

Remember: you’re NOT the victim of your journey—you’re the author of your comeback.

Ready for a new chapter? Press play and let’s turn those detours into your turning point.

xoxo,

Jackie
