Ep. 61 Dunning Kruger Effect

Text us to let us know what you want to hear on the podcast!At the start of a health journey, confidence is high. You’re focused, motivated, and ready to finally get answers. But as the process unfolds and things become more complex, that certainty starts to fade. The more you learn, the more you realize how much you don’t know. And that initial blind confidence fades when you realize there is a knowledge gap. Or maybe what was working before... isn't anymore.This is a pattern we see often. Early motivation gives way to second-guessing. Quick fixes start to sound tempting again. Progress feels slower, even when it isn’t. That shift is a turning point.In this episode, we break down the Dunning-Kruger Effect and how it shows up in every health journey. From inflated confidence to the temptation to override expert guidance based on past experience, we unpack why this happens and how to move through it with more clarity and better outcomes. We’re also calling out how to spot credible advice online and what to ignore entirely.Reviews are everything! We'd love for you to drop us a 5-star rating and anything you want to share if you enjoyed this episode!-----------------------------------------------------------------------------Apply for 1:1 coaching-----------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA!Jillian: www.instagram.com/jillianrfitJess: www.instagram.com/jesserefitFueled: www.instagram.com/fueledby.balanceReality Check: www.instagram.com/realitycheck_fitpodcast Jillian's TT: www.tiktok.com/@jillianrfit
