Shownotes

You haven't failed—your method just might be exhausting. In this episode, I’m sharing one of the most powerful mindset shifts I use with clients (and in my own life): What if it could be easy? So often, we assume that change has to be hard, that we need to push, force, or shame ourselves into doing something differently. But what if we’ve been putting all our effort in the wrong place? I’ll walk you through what happens when we stop trying to change our actions directly and instead focus on the thoughts and feelings that create those actions. You'll hear two client stories—one about parenting and one about body image—that show how change can feel natural, even effortless, when we stop forcing and start understanding. If you’ve been stuck in a cycle of “trying harder,” this episode is for you.
