Quit Quitting: Why “It Worked for a While” Is the Real Problem
If you’ve ever said “it worked until life got in the way,” this episode is for you.
We’re talking about what actually makes change sustainable... and it’s not more discipline, motivation, or tracking.
It’s emotional resilience.
Discouragement.
Frustration.
Disappointment.
Those three feelings are what make most of us quit.
In this episode, I’m sharing why you’re not broken, lazy, or self-sabotaging... you’re simply human.
You’re wired to seek ease. The problem isn’t you; it’s the exhausting systems you’ve been told to follow.
You’ll hear:
Why “quit quitting” is the simplest, most powerful weight-loss strategy you’ve never tried
How to ride out “the dip” (that messy middle where progress feels invisible)
Why feeling bad doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong
How to build the skill of persistence, even when life gets in the way
This one’s part pep talk, part truth bomb, part reality check.
Because sustainable change doesn’t come from pushing harder.
It comes from staying the course when it's boring, unexciting, and down-right annoying.
You’re not a quitter. You just haven’t had an approach worth keeping.
Hit play and let’s make this the last time you start over.
