Want to get unstuck by simply asking yourself 2 questions?

When we feel stuck in our health or weight loss journey, it can be difficult to see a way out. We often blame it on our circumstances (hello, perimenopause!)

But by asking yourself 2 basic questions, you can help yourself get unstuck...so that you can ultimately reach your goals!

In this episode, we talk about

• The 2 questions that can get you unstuck
• How to guide your thoughts and feelings to change your situation
• Why you need more than a meal plan to lose weight (and what you need instead)

Plus, you'll hear about two of my students who have used these questions to get unstuck, and the results that it gave them!

Have you tried an anti-inflammatory diet before, only to crash and burn? Maybe it was too hard to stick to. Perhaps it was too hard when you needed to cook a meal for yourself, and then a separate meal for your family.
