How Your Words Keep the Scale Stuck Over 40
About this episode
Grab a piece of paper for this interactive and insightful episode, and by the end, you’ll be talking to yourself (and losing weight!) in a completely new way!
For the last couple of months, I've been collecting phrases. Real things that real women say to me on coaching calls, in my DMs, and inside The Method. The things you say to yourself about your health, your body, and your ability to feel good in midlife.
And what this list makes clear is this: the way you talk to yourself is making it harder to lose weight.
In this episode, I walk you through a quiz-style exercise across three categories — food, workouts, and your overall healthy lifestyle — using real phrases I've collected from real women. Then I break down exactly why your brain keeps generating these thoughts (hint: it’s not because you lack willpower or discipline!), and give you three concrete steps to start shifting the conversation in your head, starting today.
Inside This Episode

- Why phrases like "I'm so out of shape" and "nothing ever works for me" are actually your brain doing its job — and why that's the problem
- The three things your brain does that keeps you comfortable but stuck
- Why jumping from "I'm not a morning person" to "I'll wake up at 4am every day" will always fail — and what to do instead
