Send us a text

If you’ve ever felt like you know what to do to lose weight—but still find yourself stuck, self-sabotaging, or starting over every January—this episode is for you.

In this video, we dive into the hidden fear of success, how unresolved past experiences live in the subconscious, and why affirmations alone don’t work—especially during the emotionally charged holiday season.

You’ll learn:

  • Why fear of success is more common than fear of failure
  • How your subconscious associates weight loss with stress, judgment, or loss
  • Why restriction backfires during the holidays
  • How emotional eating is often a nervous system response—not a discipline issue
  • What to release before you try to “think positive”
  • How to approach weight loss during Christmas without spiraling
  • Why safety—not force—is the key to sustainable fat loss

This episode also includes:

  • A FREE Christmas Reset Challenge (Dec 26–31)
  • A limited $1,000 OFF retreat experience available until December 31

This is not about grinding harder or starting over in January.
 It’s about creating internal safety so your body finally allows change.

If weight loss has felt heavy, emotional, or exhausting—this conversation may change everything.
