We silly earthlings tend to be final-hour creatures: we tend to wait until we hit rock bottom to initiate a change for the better, all while at the same time wanting the results to appear overnight. While this might work flawlessly in the movies, real life operates by a different set of rules. Join co-coach, Steph Miramontes and me as we dive deep into why your expectations are killing your progress softly. Topics discussed: Why it's important to understand the power of the two words: "should" and "is" How to embrace slow progress and see it as the super strength that it is -- slow weight loss is permanent weight loss The benefit of slowing down and how it allows you to be present in your life, and as a result, less interested in food The value of reframing your "struggles" and how to recognize them as an integral part of your success Why you can't diet your way into a healthy relationship with food  What's an area of your life where you've benefited from slowing down and removing the pressure of racing against a timeline?
