In this episode, I break down the 5 reasons people fail on any weight-loss programme - commitment, consistency, coachability, communication, and the willingness to truly change. I share the honest patterns I've seen after coaching thousands of people, and why success ultimately comes down to your mindset and your ability to lean into accountability when life gets hard.
