In this powerful episode, Gina sits down with Clinical Psychologist Dr. Beverley David and Learning Strategist Dr. Deena Kara Shaffer to unpack the mindset shifts that can transform your weight loss journey. We are not problems that need fixing—we’re humans deserving of compassion and self-acceptance. From understanding the deeper why behind our dieting history to recognizing non-scale victories, we explore how to take ownership of our success while anticipating life’s inevitable stressors. It’s all about the long game, embracing progress over perfection, and learning how to get back to our stride when we wobble. Plus, they discuss the most generous interpretation of our struggles and how giving ourselves permission to change is the ultimate act of self-love. Don’t miss this conversation—it might just be the perspective shift you need.
