In this episode of The Chris Terrell Podcast, Chris delves into the complexities of weight loss, personal finance, and self-improvement. He shares his journey of losing 125 pounds, advocating for gradual lifestyle changes and habit-building over sheer willpower. 


Joined by Mike, who lost 110 pounds, they discuss the emotional aspects of weight loss, the roles of guilt and self-kindness, and strategies for transforming negative self-talk. 


The episode further explores parallels between managing finances and dieting, emphasizing self-discipline, clarity of motives, and overcoming psychological challenges like imposter syndrome. 


Listeners are encouraged to find peace within themselves, adopt conscious habits, and reconsider their approaches for sustained wellness.
