If you are the go-to person for everyone else but can’t seem to find the same energy for your own personal goals, this episode is for you. Are you putting everyone else first and letting your own goals fall to the wayside? It’s time to change that. This episode dives into how neglecting your own needs—especially when it comes to your health, fitness, and weight loss goals—keeps you stuck.

In the first episode, we’re diving straight into one of the #1 thing that stands in the way of so many on a health, wellness, or weight loss journey: excuses. Are you sipping on excuse juice? If so, it’s time to put the cup down and get real about the excuses that are holding you back. From "I’m too tired" to "I’ll start on Monday," we are calling out the self-sabotage and unpacking how to break free from the comfort of excuses.
