Episode 206: What Joey (my dog) can teach us about changing our behavior around food

Hey, everyone! Today’s episode is a little different…it’s about my dog, Joey, and what it was like to pick her up after 4 weeks of obedience training. Think there’s a connection to food here? You bet there is.I’m sharing the surprising parallels learning how to implement her obedience training has to learning new habits and skills, especially around food.Here’s a peek at what we cover:What it feels like to be a beginner again—the overwhelm, the frustration, and the reality of learning something brand new.Why practice matters more than perfection, and how “real life” application always looks messier than the ideal scenarios.How to go slow and break things down, focusing on what’s most relevant instead of trying to do it all at once.The truth about progress: it’s not linear, and even when things don’t go perfectly, you’re still learning.My favorite analogy for behavior change and why it takes longer than we want it toWhy keeping going is more important than getting it rightWhether you’re working on leash training your dog (hi, Joey!) or trying to build a new habit around food or exercise, I think you’ll love this episode! this episode is packed with insights, real-life examples, and a little humor to help you navigate the ups and downs of the process.Connect with JordanaFind me on InstagramSign up for my weekly letter with personal stories and nutrition, body image and mindset tipsSchedule a free discovery call to talk more about working together Listen to more episodes of The Diet Diaries
