Are You A Solution Hopper?

09/25/23 • 15 min

In this enlightening episode, we venture into the trap of the “Right Way Mentality,” the belief system dictating that a single, flawless solution exists for everyone. It’s a journey to break the cycles of high expectations and constant disappointments. Through an exploration of our own cognitive processes, our host discusses her experiences with the relentless pursuit of perfection in various aspects of life, including dieting and lifestyle choices. This episode is a must-listen for anyone feeling entrapped by the perpetual motion of solution hopping and seeking insight into overcoming the cycle of self-doubt and indecision. You will learn how to carve your unique path with kindness, love, and courage and how to embrace a lifestyle and habits that align with your individual needs and preferences.
