19. Emotional Intelligence: What Your Weight Struggle Is Trying To Tell You

Emotional Intelligence:What if your weight struggle isn't the actual problem?What if the cravings, overeating, self-sabotage, starts and stops, and feeling stuck are actually trying to tell you something important?In this episode, we begin the fifth and final layer of the Lifted You Weight Loss Foundation: Emotional Intelligence.Drawing from the work of emotional intelligence pioneers Peter Salovey, John Mayer, and Daniel Goleman, you'll learn how emotions contain valuable information and how unmet emotional needs can quietly influence your thoughts, habits, eating behaviors, and weight loss progress.Together, we'll explore a new way of looking at your weight struggle—as a messenger pointing toward deeper needs that may have gone unseen for far too long.You'll discover why emotional intelligence is essential to lasting weight loss, how unmet emotional needs can create a personal fog that keeps you feeling stuck, and how learning to understand and respond to those needs can help you reconnect with yourself, strengthen your Doer, deepen Body Connection, rebuild your weight loss identity, and become a natural eater in your mind, body, and heart.Oftentimes the struggle isn't the problem...It's the message.
