EPISODE 139: If You Want to Go Fast, Go Slow

We silly earthlings tend to be final-hour creatures: we tend to wait until we hit rock bottom to initiate a change for the better, all while at the same time wanting the results to appear overnight.

While this might work flawlessly in the movies, real life operates by a different set of rules.

Join co-coach, Steph Miramontes and me as we dive deep into why your expectations are killing your progress softly.

Topics discussed:

  • Why it’s important to understand the power of the two words: “should” and “is”
  • How to embrace slow progress and see it as the super strength that it is — slow weight loss is permanent weight loss
  • The benefit of slowing down and how it allows you to be present in your life, and as a result, less interested in food
  • The value of reframing your “struggles” and how to recognize them as an integral part of your success
  • Why you can’t diet your way into a healthy relationship with food 

What’s an area of your life where you’ve benefited from slowing down and removing the pressure of racing against a timeline?

We’d love to hear your experience. Leave a comment and let us know!
