Lisa knew exactly how she wanted to eat. She’d researched, made a plan, and was fully committed—until real life got in the way. Vacations, stress, and long days at work would throw her off track every time. If you’ve ever wondered why you can’t stick with a healthy eating plan (even one you like), this episode will show you what’s really going on—and what to do instead.

In this episode, I’ll walk you through:

  • Why knowing what to eat isn't enough to change overeating habits
  • The hidden stories and beliefs that sabotage your “perfect” plan
  • What most smart women get wrong when they try to create new food habits
  • How to create habits that actually work when life isn’t calm, predictable, or easy
  • Why focusing on “not overeating” backfires—and what to do instead
