Summary

Ever find yourself saying "I'm stuck" in your weight loss journey and genuinely feeling like you can't move forward? What if that feeling of being stuck isn't actually something happening to you, but a choice you're making without realizing it? In this episode, we dive into why your brain keeps you in familiar patterns even when they're painful, and explore the surprising truth about confusion, overwhelm, and feeling paralyzed in your progress. We'll uncover why some people seem to hear the same advice over and over but can never actually implement it, and what's really blocking you from taking action even when you know what to do. This conversation will completely shift how you think about those moments when you feel like nothing is working and you don't know what step to take next.
