Better than before

Trista Guertin
About this episode

Are you telling yourself, “I’m better than I used to be, so it’s fine if I stay here”?

In this episode I explain why “better than before” can quietly keep women stuck. Learn how to break free from buffering, stop negotiating with your goals, and step into the next version of yourself with loving commitment—not hustle or self-loathing.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

  • Why “better than before” becomes a comfort cage that stalls your dreams.
  • The hidden cost of buffering with food, scrolling, or other escapes.
  • How to define the real problem: avoiding feelings, not just overeating.
  • A three-step daily plan to build self-trust and consistent progress.
  • How loving discipline—planning from self-respect—creates lasting change.
