In this episode of The StrongHer Way, Alisha Carlson pulls back the curtain on why willpower isn’t your problem—it’s your systems. 

If you’ve ever blamed yourself for not sticking to the latest diet, skipping a workout, or losing control around food, this one’s for you. 

We’re not here to slap another rulebook in your hand—we’re here to burn the old one and write a new story based on identity, mindset, and real empowerment.

Alisha challenges the toxic diet culture narrative and walks you through how to actually change your habits by shifting your self-concept, upgrading your environment, and creating systems that make health easier and sustainable—even on your busiest, most chaotic days.

This episode is your permission slip to stop white-knuckling your way to health. You don’t need more willpower. You need a better strategy.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Why dieting based on willpower is setting you up to fail
  • How your identity and beliefs drive your actions more than motivation
  • The difference between shame-driven change and identity-based growth
  • How to shape your environment and systems for effortless follow-through
  • Why trusting yourself around food is one of the most empowering shifts you can make
