🎙️IN THIS EPISODE:

Struggling to establish consistent follow-through with healthy eating?

If you've been striving to maintain firm discipline with your eating habits but ultimately falling short each time, it's time to rethink what true discipline with food will mean for you.

In this episode, we're diving deep into the true meaning of discipline — where it's not about strict rules or perfect follow-through, but about building certainty, stability, and acceptance with how you show up.

You'll discover:

→ Why traditional views of discipline might be holding you back from following through sustainably.

→ How to redefine discipline to feel empowered and stable, rather than restricted and pressured.

→ The key emotional energies that establish a sustainable relationship with healthy eating.

→ Why discipline and "good performance" with healthy eating are not one and the same.

The truth is, discipline wasn't meant to require harsh willpower; it's an opportunity to begin nurturing yourself towards the eating habits you want effectively.
