Summary

If you feel stuck in a cycle like you’re trying, but progress just isn’t happening fast enough, you’re not alone.
It’s not that you’re not capable. It’s that there are hidden bottlenecks, subconscious beliefs, old habits, and tiny decisions you’re making daily—that are keeping you stuck.
In this episode, I’m sharing a replay from a live event inside the Land of Plants community where we talked about the uncomfortable truth: real progress starts with radical honesty.
We’ll dive into why integrity with yourself matters more than motivation, how to spot the patterns that are silently sabotaging your results, and how asking the hard questions is the key to moving forward.
This is the kind of deep mindset work we do in the coaching program—because when your habits align with who you want to be, change isn’t a fight anymore.

If you’re ready to do whatever is required to succeed for your health goals, then book a free consult with our team to talk about making that a reality.

0:00.0	Hello, welcome to the Lean of Plants podcast. My name is Chelsea and if you are struggling to lose weight on a plant-based diet, then this podcast is for you. While there are thousands of books, podcasts and resources about the benefits of a plant-based diet, the reality is that being vegan does not
0:21.9	guarantee losing weight. If you are feeling frustrated and confused about where to start,
0:28.6	or you know exactly what you should be doing, but you just can't seem to rustle up enough
0:34.1	willpower to do it, then keep listening. In this podcast, you'll learn the
0:38.7	truth about plant-based weight loss, but just as importantly, how to use proven methods of
0:44.1	behavioural change to turn what you know into lifelong habits that lead to getting and staying
0:49.9	lean. Can't wait to get started. Let's do this.
1:15.7	Hello, hello, welcome to the podcast. I recorded this as a live event with our Lena plants community.
1:22.0	And we ended up talking a lot about how identity and how integrity and how being super honest with yourself is going to allow you to figure out what are the bottlenecks to your success
1:26.9	when it comes to
1:27.8	weight loss. And I thought there was a lot of good stuff in this event that we did. And I thought that
1:32.5	you might find it helpful if you were someone who finds yourself just in these kind of cycles where
1:36.3	you are not making progress as fast as you want to make it. And you're finding that like you're not
1:42.1	moving towards your goal in a way that is like
1:44.7	it's in line with your expectations of how quickly it should be or where you should be by now.
1:50.1	You keep kind of shitting on yourself.
1:51.5	Then please keep listening to this episode.
1:53.3	I think you're going to find it really helpful and you're going to get some of the value
1:56.8	that our members got when we talk about how to use hard questions to actually figure out
2:01.7	what is holding you back. So enjoy. Hello, hello, hello. Good afternoon, good morning, wherever
2:06.8	it is for you in the world. Super excited to hop on for this live. We're going to start with some
2:11.4	wins. So if you have a win, we're going to do things that like a little bit differently today.
