Episode 228: The Darkest Part of Your Weight Loss Journey
Aug 07, 2026
Last week we talked about the 5 predictable resistance patterns your brain uses to pull you back to your old habits. And I promised you that it’s possible for your brain to work for you instead of against you. But before your brain works for you, it’s going to take you to a place that no other weight loss coach is going to warn you about. This is the place where you will quit or win. It’s not for the faint of heart, but if you want to get past that stop-start dieting thing that you keep doing and finally lose weight in a sustainable and healthy way, going through this dark part is a necessary part of your weight loss journey. Because it’s the key ingredient that makes everything stick.
Today, you’re going to get a front row seat into the darkest part of your weight loss journey, and how to come out on the other side victorious.
Together, we will investigate:
- The darkest phase, where most women quit their weight loss journey, and why it’s completely normal.
- Why your brain fights you trying to eat healthier and change your habits with food.
- The identity shift that has to happen before weight loss becomes effortless.
- What the “liminal space” is during the weight loss journey, and why no one prepares you for it.
