Do you want to get by, or do you want to get stronger?
What do I mean?
Okay, let's say you're determined to eat intentionally all day—from breakfast to bedtime. And you're totally on track until...
Ding!
You get a text from a friend:
"Wanna grab dinner tonight?"
Ugh! I mean, who doesn't want to hang out with friends? But you know the drill: appetizers, desserts, drinks. You can practically feel your day going off the rails.
So much for sticking to your plan, huh?
That last-minute invite—that's what we call a trigger. It's something that pops up that "triggers" an action, and it's usually an action we'd prefer not to do.
And we want to dodge triggers, don't we? 'Cause why slay the dragon when we can avoid it?
But what if that's not always the best strategy...
What if triggers aren't always the enemy?
And what if they're actually an opportunity to test the skills you've been working on?
Imagine being able to go out to dinner with friends while still being in 100% control.
Imagine proving to yourself that this change you’re working on—it’s actually sticking.
Wouldn't that feel amazing?
See—
When you start rolling with your triggers instead of avoiding them, you unlock a new level of self-control.
Because, let's be real, sooner or later, you've got to face them head-on. And ignoring them? It's like pretending a ticking time bomb isn't ticking.
And when you confront the triggers you'd rather avoid, you’re not just getting by—you’re getting stronger!
So let's learn to turn the tables on triggers and make them work for you.
Tune in, and let's make it happen.

What've you got to lose?

Found yourself in the same spot again, haven't you?
There you are, glued to the couch, endlessly scrolling, as your gym clothes collect dust in the bedroom...
You finally snap out of it, check the time, and "Whoa!"—there goes an hour you’ll never get back.
And now? It's way too late to start anything productive.
That's when the inner critic chimes in:
"You swore you'd hit the gym today, and here you are. Seriously, what’s the point?"
You know the voice I'm talking about.
We've all got that inner critic who’s not only a pro at pointing out every slip-up but also loves to rub salt in the wound.
And you know what's even worse?
It constantly tries to convince us we're just not cut out for this and maybe it’s time to stop trying.
That critic isn’t very helpful, is it?
But it could be...
Like, what if the critic changed its tune?
What if, instead of repeating the tired old "I've screwed up again" mantra, it started tossing out some genuinely helpful questions?
Like this: "What got in my way this time?"
Or: "What was the first domino that set off this whole chain reaction?"
Even better, what if it challenged you with: "What exactly can I change so I don’t end up here again?"
That shift from critic to questioner would be super helpful, wouldn't it?
See—
When your inner critic STOPS being a bully and STARTS helping you learn from the situation...
Well, that's when you start to see some real change.
The goal today?
To turn those "mess-up" moments into actionable lessons learned.
So, how can you turn a slip-up into a step forward?
Stick with us because we’re about to dive into exactly how you can make every slip count.

What've you got to lose?

You know how it goes...
You set a goal to lose weight, and, suddenly, everything feels urgent.
You want to see the scale drop now, you want your clothes to fit now, and you’re ready to go all-in.
So, what do you do? You go hard—restricting calories, working out like you’re training for the Olympics, feeling like this time, it’ll stick.
Then, after a week (or maybe two if you’re lucky), something cracks.
Maybe it’s the stress from work, maybe it’s that birthday cake you couldn’t resist, or maybe it’s just plain exhaustion...
Whatever it is, you find yourself eating more than before, wondering how things spiraled so fast.
You’re right back where you started—frustrated, stuck, and asking yourself, "Why does this keep happening?"
This cycle—going too hard, too fast, and then burning out—keeps repeating.
The problem? It’s NOT willpower.
It’s the approach.
The approach you're taking ignores reality—the reality of the world and the reality of your life.
Here’s where we introduce a new way of thinking: reality neutrality.
Reality neutrality means accepting where you are, even if it’s not where you want to be.
It’s about seeing your situation clearly and working with it, not against it.
Okay, so here's a quote to sit with—
“If you can't change what is, at least try to love what is, or else you're going to suffer.”
If you’re resisting reality—whether it’s your fitness level or your packed schedule—you’re setting yourself up for a world of frustration.
So what’s the answer? It’s not giving up on your goals—it’s changing how you approach them.
Instead of going all-in with unrealistic expectations, reality neutrality asks you to slow down, recognize what’s possible right now, and build from there.
Think of it as playing the long game instead of sprinting toward a moving finish line.

What've you got to lose?

Discomfort.
Sounds like a big, scary monster, doesn't it?
But what if it's actually the key to something amazing?
Now -
When I talk about discomfort, I'm not suggesting you gotta turn into David Goggins and pound out a 25-mile run at 3 AM during a blizzard.
But imagine for a moment that you intentionally added a bit of discomfort to your daily life.
Imagine the kind of change that could bring!
Here's the thing -
Stick to the same old, same old, and you're bound to get the same old results, right?
But step out of your routine, embrace a bit of discomfort—and watch the transformation happen.
So, adding a bit of discomfort to your life? It's not just a nice-to-have.
IT'S ESSENTIAL.
And here's the best part:
You're in charge of how much discomfort you take on. Whether it's a big leap or a small step, it's your call.
Maybe start with something easy, like taking a new route to work.
Or how about brushing your teeth with the other hand?
How about a one-minute jog when you really, REALLY don't want to?
Or try this -
Pause intentionally before eating.
(Sounds simple, doesn't it? But it can be surprisingly challenging.)

As long as it's doable, any kind of discomfort counts.
So -
How about a little challenge?
1. Listen to this pod.
2. Pick a discomfort challenge that works for you.
3. Share your choice with me and Haley.
4. Go do that thing.
And guess what? After you've done it, you'll end the day feeling incredible for tackling something difficult.

What've you got to lose?

Stress.
Anger.
Fear.
Worry.
Can you guess what's on the agenda today?
That's right: FEELINGS.
We're talking about those emotions that we love to ignore but, at the same time, are throwing a wrench in your weight loss plans.
I can almost hear you now...
"Feelings? Seriously? I'm out."
But hang on a sec.
We're about to serve up some real talk that's going to shake things up and hand you the key to keeping those pounds off for good.
See, just focusing on what's on your plate or how many reps you're doing isn't going to cut it.
And why's that?
Because ignoring what's bubbling up inside is a recipe for a diet disaster.
Sure, you might drop a few pounds, and things might seem great for a bit.
But is that change here to stay?
It depends on this:
If you don't tackle the emotions sending you to the fridge, it's like taking aspirin for shoulder pain.
Are you going to feel better for a bit? Sure.
Will the pain come back? No doubt about it.
The same is true with unsorted feelings.
Yeah, they're uncomfortable to deal with. I know they're a pain. But pretending they're not affecting you? That's not an option.
And if you're worrying this is going to turn into a therapy session—don't.
We're all about breaking through those emotional barriers with no-fuss, actionable strategies.
