In this episode, I get brutally honest about one of the biggest mistakes people make when trying to lose weight or get healthy—recycling the same plan they did years ago. Life changes. Hormones, kids, jobs, stress, setbacks—none of it matches the conditions you once had.

I break down:

• Why clinging to “what worked before” keeps you stuck.
• The difference between fantasy goals on consultation forms and the reality of your life now.
• How self-awareness and daily self-assessment will do more for your progress than any cookie-cutter nutrition or training plan.
• Why setbacks, missed sessions, and imperfect weeks are not failure—they’re part of the process.
• How comparison (to your past self or to others) destroys your confidence and progress.

You’ll walk away with a simple but hard truth: progress only happens when you start from where you are right now, not from where you wish you were.
