Ep 143 The Difference Between Wanting Change and Deciding

from The Grit & Grace Podcast with Dr. Lori Doddy · host Lori Doddy

Real change doesn't announce itself. It doesn't come with motivation, confidence, or a rush of certainty. Most of the time, it's quiet… so quiet that many women assume they're still waiting for it. In this episode, I'm talking about the moment women, either decide… or they keep looking for reassurance. We explore: Why effort eventually stops working, even for disciplined, capable women How reassurance-seeking disguises itself as being "responsible" or "doing more research" Why some women feel recognition when they hear this message and others feel irritated The difference between decision and strategy (and why both matter, especially in midlife) This isn't a motivational episode. There's nothing to fix and nothing to rush. Just clarity - for the women who feel it.   Find easy articles for you to read on SUBSTACK, use my FREE link here: https://substack.com/@loridoddy/note/p-182871177?utm_source=notes-share-action&utm_medium=web    When you're ready, here's how I can help you for FREE: (Community + Support) Join my Lori Doddy's Total Wellness community to get research-backed tips, strategies, and free resources to lose weight and manage menopause like  (Lose Fat) Steal my guide with exact 5 Changes I have all clients make in week 1 of working with us, so they lose weight and drop inches even before we put their customized plan in place.
