In this episode, I talk about feeling like you have to lose weight first before you can have what you want. I address the belief that weight loss is standing between you and the life you want. 

So many of us put our lives on hold. We're waiting to lose weight before we start dating, before we feel confident, before we love ourselves, before we feel like we are worthy and enough, before we start the business, or wear a bathing suit, or go on vacation, or chase our dreams.

This episode is your permission slip to stop waiting!

In this episode I talk about the collective feeling of failure we experience when we try to lose weight by following food rules and going on diets. 

I explain to you why you are not a failure and how diet culture is designed to make you feel like its your fault when you don't get the results that they promise. 

If you have felt like you just can't seem to get it "right" with food and you always blame yourself with you "slip up" this episode is for you.
