103- Is Playing It Safe Hurting Your Health? Here’s the Problem.
If you’ve ever felt “safer” taking a half-hearted approach to health or weight loss, I get it. Past “diet traumas”—where you felt deprived, defeated, or ultimately regained weight—can make your brain want to play it safe. The challenge? Playing it safe often leads to mediocre results, keeping you stuck in a cycle of comfort but never truly progressing.
In this episode, we dive into why your mind defaults to safety mode and how even small shifts in perspective can create sustainable, impactful change. I’ll also unpack some familiar statements like “I’m just doing the best I can” and why setting clear, personalized standards for this season of life could unlock the health and energy you actually crave.
Ready to end the year feeling stronger and lighter? Join me for this empowering episode and see if it’s time to break free from the safe zone and aim higher.
