You Don’t Need More Willpower, You Need a Different Plan
Mon Feb 02 2026
In this episode, we unpack a powerful truth: you’re not failing, lazy, or broken. You may simply be using a strategy designed for a different woman with a different starting point. The approach needed to lose the first 50 pounds is not the same as the approach needed for the last 10, and misunderstanding that difference keeps many women stuck in cycles of frustration. We talk about the psychology of large weight loss, why knowledge alone isn’t enough, and how chasing perfection pulls you further from real progress. This conversation is about choosing the right plan, the right support, and building an identity that matches the life you want to live.
We talk about:
-The difference between losing the first 50 pounds and the last 10
-The risk of unqualified coaching
-Knowledge versus true understanding
-Why it’s not just your hormones
-Recognizing your “lightbulb” moment
-The trap of chasing perfection
-Understanding your window of tolerance
