In this episode, I am giving some tough love around a pattern I see all the time: women who say they want to lose weight, improve their metabolism, and finally feel good in their bodies, but when they are told they may need to eat more, train differently, manage stress, sleep more, or stop pushing harder, they resist it. They keep doing a slightly modified version of what has already kept them stuck, then wonder why nothing changes.

I also break down the psychology behind this resistance, including confirmation bias, motivated reasoning, and cognitive dissonance, and I share a personal example of how I once ignored advice from my own coach because it challenged the way I saw myself.
