You have the power to challenge and reframe them.I’ll be sharing:✔️ A personal story about how my post-bariatric surgery brain had me in an all-out war over food cravings and survival instincts✔️ What happens when our lower brain defaults to fear, stress, and self-doubt✔️ Insights from Dr. Amy Johnson’s book, Just a Thought, on how to break free from limiting beliefs✔️ Three fun and practical strategies to flip the script on negative thoughts and start training your brain to work for you instead of against youIf you’re ready to stop letting fear and self-doubt control your decisions, this episode is for you!
