10 - Willpower is Not a Superpower. How to Stop Trying so Hard and Actually Succeed

Hi friends! 

In this episode, I share my funny and humbling health struggles—from my treat-yourself mindset to the sweet tooth that just won’t quit—and explain why I finally ditched the guilt. 

We’ll dive into three super simple (but kinda genius) strategies to help you put food in its place—so you can enjoy life without the pantry calling your name 24/7.

Come hang with me as we break free from the myth of willpower, set some realistic goals, and laugh at our perfectly imperfect selves along the way. Let’s ditch the guilt, enjoy our treats when they’re put in their place, and take our power back—together! Ready? Let’s go!
