197: Why Overachievers Don't Go All-In on Weight Loss (And How to Change It)

from The Burn Stress Lose Weight Podcast · host Dr. Priyanka Venugopal

What if the thing holding you back from your body goals isn't lack of effort—but fear of wasting it? In this episode, I'm recording on the move (literally outside, planes and all) after getting hit with a moment of clarity that stopped me in my tracks. I share two real-life stories—one from my own business and one from a close friend—that reveal a pattern I see constantly with high-achieving women: pulling back right when effort actually matters most. We're talking about why smart, capable women hesitate to go all-in, how that hesitation quietly guarantees stuck results, and what it really costs us over time—not just on the scale, but in energy, confidence, and bandwidth.   Resources:  Get full show notes and more information here: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/197 Learn more about The Unstoppable Group: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/group
