How to Stop Self-Sabotaging My Fitness Goals

Ever wonder why you keep starting strong with your fitness goals, only to find yourself three weeks later wondering what happened?The biggest barrier isn't a lack of knowledge, time, or motivation—it's your relationship with yourself. The voice in your head might be calling you lazy, broken, or not enough. But here's the truth: self-sabotage isn't a character flaw. It's a predictable pattern that happens when you don't understand how your brain actually works.In this episode, I'm pulling together highlights from some of the most popular episodes of 2025, sharing insights on how to stop fighting yourself and start working with your brain to create sustainable change.In this episode, you'll discover:Why you're not lazy—your brain is just running old habit loops designed to conserve energy (and how to use this to your advantage)Why self-compassion beats self-criticism for lasting behavior change (and how hating yourself actually trains your brain to resist healthy habits)Why the comeback after a missed workout is more valuable than maintaining a perfect streak (and the one question that shifts you from self-sabotage to self-support)Ready to start your own transformation?
