Ep. 525: Why Willpower Won’t Fix Menopause Weight Gain

PODCAST EPISODE 525

You listened to the podcast. You told yourself all the right things. And then you ate the cupcake anyway.

Sound familiar? 

In this episode, I read a beautiful letter from a listener named Josephine who is doing everything she’s supposed to do and still can’t seem to get past her urges. And I want to answer her because I know so many of you are having the exact same conversation in your head.

Here’s what I want you to understand: willpower is not the answer. It never was. What I teach instead is something you can actually build an urge muscle. And just like the gym, you do not start by lifting the heaviest weight in the room.

We are going to talk about why urges are emotions, how to measure them, and how to start allowing them without eating, beginning with the ones that aren’t so hard. Because here’s what I know after coaching women for years: you are already doing this. You just don’t know it yet.

And once you do? That chocolate cupcake in the refrigerator? It’s just a cupcake. Enjoy the show!
