Episode 211: The myth of the goal weight


Listen Later

In today’s episode, I’m diving into the uncomfortable truth about what it really costs to chase that magic number on the scale. If you’ve ever thought, “I’m happiest at this weight, but it’s impossible to stay there,” then buckle up—this is for you.

We’re breaking down why sacrificing your mental and emotional well-being for a clothing size or scale number isn’t just unsustainable—it’s robbing you of true happiness. I’ll share what it means to find your best weight, where food feels easy, your mind feels free, and your body feels good.

✨ What you’ll hear:
* Why “happiness” tied to a number is a lie—and what’s actually keeping you stuck.
* The red flags that signal your weight loss approach isn’t sustainable.
* How to finally feel at ease around food without tracking every bite.
* What it really takes to align your goals with your values (hint: it’s not another diet).
