SC Democrat Podcast

On this week’s episode of Moving Toward Health, Coach Maggi is talking about why we get stuck thinking that making our program more challenging will give us better results, when oftentimes it doesn’t work. It’s easy to convince ourselves that we are doing good and following our program well even when we are not. She walks you through how to become radically honestly with yourself to see the results you are looking for without falling into the trap of self-sabatoge or giving up. It’s our willingness to be honest with ourselves that directly correlates to the level of success we will have.
