“Why Isn’t This Working Faster?” (And What We Wish More Women Knew)


Listen Later

💭 In this episode, Sarah and Tanna dive deep into one of the biggest mindset blocks in health and fitness: expecting fast results in a long-game process. If you've ever felt discouraged because change isn't happening "fast enough"—this one's for you.

⚡️ In a culture addicted to quick fixes, overnight transformations, and before-and-after pics, it’s easy to think you’re behind, failing, or not doing enough. But real change? The kind that actually sticks? It’s steady. It’s layered. And it’s 100% worth it.

💡 In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why our brains crave instant gratification (and how to override that urge)

  • How to shift from “expectation” mode into “action” mode

  • The power of identity-based habits (doing the thing because it’s who you are)

  • Why a slow burn creates a deeper, more lasting transformation

  • How to enjoy the journey instead of rushing to the finish line

    Progress takes time—but your daily actions are always planting seeds. Stay the course.

    🎧 Tune in now and get reconnected to the pace and purpose of your journey.
    Whether you’re in week 1 or year 10, this episode will help you own your timeline and stop comparing your behind-the-scenes to someone else’s highlight reel.
