Ep. 29 - Weeding Out Wellness Myths: “If I Want It, I Should Just Do It”

Have you ever told yourself, “If I really wanted to change, I should just be able to do it” only to end up feeling stuck, frustrated, or even ashamed when you don't follow through? You’re not alone.In this episode, I’m busting the myth that willpower and commitment are all it takes to make lasting change. I share why unconscious ambivalence is a completely normal part of the process, how our environment shapes our habits more than we realize, and why shame cycles can hold us back instead of helping us move forward.I’ll also tell a personal story about how giving up dairy wasn’t as simple as I thought it would be, and the lessons I learned along the way. You’ll walk away with practical strategies that can help you actually do the things you say you want to do.
