Ep 282 How Your Not Mastering Your Weigh...

Leslie M. Thornton
About this episode

Are you a high-achieving leader struggling to align your personal life with the success you’ve built professionally? Despite outward accomplishments, do you feel weighed down by inner turmoil, an unhealthy relationship with food, or self-doubt about your ability to maintain consistent habits? These challenges may be silently holding you back from reaching your full potential.

Many leaders face the hidden struggle of perfectionism, emotional suppression, and negative self-talk, often leaving them feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or out of integrity. These unresolved issues can lead to distractions, burnout, and dissatisfaction, even as you push forward professionally. Without addressing these underlying blocks, true happiness, confidence, and sustainable growth remain out of reach.

Transformation begins with taking an honest look inward and committing to deeper emotional mastery. By addressing your struggles through tools like Hypnosis, Neuro Linguistic Programming [NLP], and aligned action, you can overcome the obstacles holding you back and unlock greater success and fulfillment. It’s time to invest in yourself and build a strong, resilient foundation for a life and business in alignment with your highest potential.

"You have the family, you have the house, you have the car, you've got the kids, you have the animals, you've got all the things. You have all the degrees, you speak on stages, are invited to do extraordinary things. You have a high level space in your career and you still have not yet cracked the code on permanent weight loss. And I want to let you know that any of the goals that you have for yourself to continue to expand your career are being stunted by your not addressing this." - Leslie Thornton
