Summary
If you’ve ever felt stuck on your weight loss journey and wondered why you just can’t stay consistent, this episode is for you.
Spoiler: it’s usually not just about food, it’s about the stories you believe about yourself.
In this episode, I’m diving into the sneaky limiting beliefs that hold us back, and how to start rewriting them so they actually work for you instead of against you.
You’ll hear a live replay from inside the Lean with Plants community, where we talk about how to:
Spot the beliefs that quietly sabotage your progress
Reframe your mindset so showing up feels doable (even on the messy days)
Create empowering stories that keep you moving toward your goals
Think of this as your gentle reminder that lasting change doesn’t start with a new meal plan — it starts with a new belief in what’s possible for you.
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. Hello, welcome to the podcast. I'm very excited for this one. I know that I say this all the time, |
| 1:13.1 | but we are going to talk about shifting beliefs, identifying core beliefs that hold you back, |
| 1:18.3 | and then telling yourself a different story and how to do that. This is a concept that I'm playing |
| 1:23.5 | around with a lot at the moment because our beliefs shape our actions. If we want to |
| 1:29.6 | achieve something, we have to have a belief about it. And if we aren't going to achieve |
| 1:34.1 | something, a lot of that is going to be about the beliefs that stop us taking the actions that |
| 1:37.8 | we need to in order to make progress. So identifying and shifting beliefs is vitally important. |
| 1:45.6 | And so in this episode, what I'm going to do is I'm going to break that down in a live replay that we did inside |
| 1:49.8 | of the community that I run, Lean of Plants. We do live events constantly as part of my coaching |
| 1:56.2 | program. So enjoy the replay of this without further ado. And I hope that it challenges and inspires you to think differently about what you are capable of. |
| 2:05.5 | Welcome everybody to the live. |
| 2:06.8 | Like we're super excited for this one. |
| 2:08.2 | I've got a concept that I think is going to be super helpful for you today. |
| 2:12.2 | All right. |
| 2:12.6 | Let's talk a little bit about curiosity and questioning beliefs. |
| 2:16.5 | There's this quote that I love and I can't remember |
