You're eating healthy, you're getting your workouts in… so why isn't the scale moving? If you've ever asked yourself that question (maybe more than once), this episode is here to bring clarity, not shame.

Because the truth is: your body isn't broken. But there are some sneaky reasons progress might be stalling — and most of them have nothing to do with how hard you're working.

In this episode, I'm walking you through 8 common reasons women don't see results even when they feel like they're doing everything right — and exactly how to fix them.

We're getting into:

• Why consistency might not be as solid as you think (and how to track it without obsessing)

• The problem with cardio-only routines — and why strength is your secret weapon

• What progressive overload is and how to apply it for real results

• How protein supports fat loss, metabolism, and muscle building

• When hormones (like cortisol, insulin, and thyroid) could be slowing you down

• The role of daily movement outside your workouts (hello, NEAT!)

• Why the scale doesn't tell the full story, and better ways to measure progress

• How sleep and stress could be the missing pieces in your transformation

If you've been feeling stuck, defeated, or ready to throw in the towel — this is your sign to zoom out, take a deep breath, and finally understand what your body really needs.
