Ep 51 | The Alignment Gap - Why You Can't Lose Weight
It's not about the food.
Yvonne and I have had this conversation in different forms for years, with clients, with each other, and in our own heads. Why does someone who genuinely wants to change keep not changing? This episode is our attempt to answer that properly.
We use the example of a woman called Jill. You might recognise her. She's doing everything she's been told to do and still not getting results, and the reason why has nothing to do with willpower or discipline.
What we get into:
- 00:00 Why trying harder rarely works when the real issue is deeper than behaviour
- 02:05 The reality behind the facade
- 04:35 Understanding the cycle of frustration
- 06:57 The unspoken rules and priorities
- 10:17 The neurological levels of change, and which level most people never look at
- 14:28 How your values and beliefs can quietly cancel out your best efforts
- 16:28 The role of boundaries, and why creating space is sometimes the whole work
- 20:31 Creating alignment for change
- 22:41 Purpose as the missing piece: what you're really doing this for
- 26:10 The role of coaching in self-discovery
The line that stayed with me:
"When your actions align with your values, change stops being a fight."
If you've ever felt like you're working against yourself, this one will make a lot of things click.
