When you're working towards a goal, it always starts out really well.

You’re excited, you have energy, you believe you’re going to do it, you can see the finish line and how awesome everything is going to be.

 But then. . . a week later, a few days later, maybe even an hour later something happens, the excitement fizzles out and a lot of times, self-doubt takes its place.

And you start thinking thoughts like:

"I'm not capable."

"I'm behind."

"I should be better at this by now."

"I’ve tried this 100 times before and failed-why would this time be any different?"

"I can't do this."

These thoughts are normal. It doesn't mean you're broken and doomed to fail.

But if we don't know what's really going on, we'll sabotage ourselves and quit before we reach our goal.

In today's episode I share why self-doubt is normal, why we have it, and  what to do about it so you don't ever quit on yourself again.

Have you ever had a big goal in your life that you wanted to reach, but you gave up before you got there?

In the beginning, when we first start out to accomplish a goal, the excitement and motivation is huge, and we tend to take big strides towards creating the outcome we want. We start out strong and with really good intentions, only to ”fall off the wagon” soon after. What happened? 

The world is full of enticing immediate results schemes. They tell us change should be fast and the way to get quick results is by making huge giant changes. Their message is that taking big huge strides towards the goal is the only way to do it and be successful at it.

What if I told you this is a lie?

So what is the secret to accomplishing a big goal?

The secret is in using the power of small and simple things.

Tune in to this episode and I'll teach you how.

• The Compound Effect by Darren Hardy

Do you ever feel like no matter how much you want to eat healthier and get serious about losing weight, there’s just something holding you back?

You vow to do better and cut back and stay on track and this time you mean it, only to find yourself right back at square one, feeling like a failure who lacks willpower, don’t despair.

I can guarantee the reason this is happening is not because you are weak or even that you lack willpower, the reason you end up in this vicious cycle is because you have an emotional connection with food.

The thing I love about habits is that once we understand them, we can, with a little practice, break them.

So today I want to teach you about the emotional eating habit cycle and how it works.

2024 is the 10 year anniversary of when I finally figured out the weight loss thing and lost over 50 pounds.

It took me almost 7 years to finally figure this weight loss thing out!

If I could travel back in time and talk to my overweight self who was trying desperately to lose weight, I’d tell her all the things I know now that I wish I had know then that would have made losing weight so much easier.

Tune in as I share a list of things I'd wish I'd known.

• Old outdated science
• The most effective way to lose weight
• What I should have been eating MORE of
• What exercise and running 5 miles a day, 6 days a week was really doing for my weight
• A HUGE priority my body needed to shed the pounds
• Everyday things that were causing my body to store fat instead of release it
• The thing that took me the longest to learn, but made the biggest difference
