352. Don't Make These Weight Loss Mistakes In 2026

2026 is here, and it's time to permanently lose weight — once and for all. In today's solo episode, I'm calling out the four biggest weight loss mistakes I do not want you making in 2026, especially if you feel like you've tried everything and still can't get results that last. These are the exact patterns I've seen over and over throughout 2025 that keep women stuck year after year. For each mistake, I break down what it is, why it holds you back, and how to approach your goal differently in a way that's rooted in science, practicality, and real life (instead of restriction, overcomplication, or starting over again). I also share a bonus tip that ties everything together and helps you avoid self-sabotaging before your progress even has a chance to build. From understanding what your body actually needs to making food choices feel simpler and more intuitive, by the end of this episode you'll walk away with a solid, grounded framework you can actually stick to for real results. I want 2026 to be the year you finally stop starting over and start seeing sustainable change — and this episode will help you do exactly that. WE START JAN 12TH!
