    When it comes to improving your health, weight, energy, or sleep, have you ever said… just tell me what to do and I’ll do it? You are looking for the thing to do to get the result.

    Or the other one that I hear is that you will tell me that you know exactly what you’re supposed to do.

    Let’s break this down. If you know what you are supposed to do, why aren’t you doing it? And if you are doing the thing the expert tells you to do, why isn’t it working? And when you start, why is it such a struggle to stay committed to the plan?

    In this episode, we will answer the question… why is it that goal-setting methods work for high achievers with their careers and families and most other areas of their lives, but these same methods don’t work when it comes to getting healthier?


    Together, we will unpack:
    The right and wrong time to set goals to achieve better health.Why goal-setting methods work for high achievers, but these same methods don’t work when it comes to getting healthier.Why you might be stuck in the perfectionist trap and how to break out of it.Three ways to create your future self, without goal setting.

    110: Your Comeback Experience Part 1 (R = Rear View Mirror)

    If you are in your 40's or 50's give or take, I’m guessing you have tried it ALL when it comes to improving your health. As women with demanding schedules, we go a million miles an hour and we don't stop. Between our career and spouse and kids and even grandkids and aging parents and volunteer stuff and community stuff… we do not have any time for ourselves.

    And then when it comes to things like... I want more energy or I want to get back into my old jeans or I just want to feel better about myself...

    We look to the expert and we say, "Just tell me what I need to do to fix this." We are women who take action in all areas of our lives so we look for the magic bullet that is going to produce the result.

    We are used to taking action. We are used to being successful. We’ve typically got a great career and or great family, and we have everything under control.

    But why can’t we figure it out when it comes to our health?

    Welcome to the brand new look and feel as the Gratitude Builds Fortitude Podcast is now called Your Comeback Story. Yes, the podcast had a little makeover, and I’m excited to begin your new journey with a 5 part series called Your Comeback Experience.


    Together, we will unpack:
    Introduce the ROCKY-inspired framework. The common struggles of busy women and how to balance demanding lives and schedules while trying to improve their health.Why traditional approaches to health often fail, despite determination and willpower.Why diet culture has set you up for failure and how it perpetuates the cycle of
    disappointment and self-blame.Why is short-lived motivation followed by discouragement and a return to old habits?How to identify and heal limiting beliefs and triggers, to promote inner peace and
    emotional control.
