It’s Not Perimenopause: The 3 Stories Sabotaging Your Summer (Episode 98)

I’m turning up the volume with this highly-downloaded series — the best-of episodes that are filled with everything you need to have more fun, spend less time in the kitchen, and still reach your weight loss goals this summer.

You can have the workout plan, the meal plan, and the perfectly time-blocked calendar, and still not have the summer you want.

This episode is about the one piece that actually determines whether all of that works: how you think.

In this episode, I break down the three stories that quietly sabotage summer goals: time, progress, and desire. I’ll walk you through exactly what each one sounds like in your head, the feeling underneath it (frustration, shame, or the fear of not belonging), and why that feeling is what actually drives the choice you make next. Once you can name the feeling, you can catch it before it talks you out of the thing you actually want.

This episode ties together everything from the rest of the Summer Success Series. The workouts, the meals, and the calendar only work if the thinking behind them is working too.
