In this guest expert episode, Gina welcomes back Certified Food Addiction Counselor Sandra Elia to break down the mindsets that hold us back and how to overcome them. They explore three key thinking traps—starting with the classic "My diet starts tomorrow!" and how perfectionism keeps us stuck. Sandra explains food addiction, why our brains get caught in all-or-nothing thinking, and how self-trust and unconditional self-love are the real game-changers. They also unpack the "I deserve a treat!" mindset and how to redefine treats in a way that actually makes us feel good. Plus, how to shut down the doubt when we think, "This isn’t going to work!" and finally follow through. If you’re ready to stop waiting for the perfect time and start making real, sustainable change, this episode is for you.
