Ep. 291 - The Illusion of Control | Are you trying to control everything?
So many women try to control everything — food, workouts, the scale — thinking that if they can just do it all perfectly, the weight will finally come off.
But what if that constant need for control is actually the thing keeping you stuck?
In this episode, Coach C dives into the illusion of control — how perfectionism, stress, and fear of losing control keep your body in survival mode and make weight loss harder than it needs to be.
You’ll learn:
✨ Why your body holds onto weight when you’re stressed
✨ The difference between control and self-trust
✨ How to calm your nervous system so your body feels safe to let go
✨ Simple mindset shifts to release anxiety around food and progress
This isn’t about giving up control — it’s about finding peace, balance, and freedom with your body and food again.
If you’ve ever said, “I’m doing everything right, but nothing’s working,” this episode is for you.
