You KNOW what to do to lose weight, get stronger, and live a healthier life… so why can’t you seem to take action?
If you’ve ever found yourself stuck in the cycle of knowing but not doing, you’re not alone. In today’s episode I’m breaking down the three biggest roadblocks holding you back from losing fat —and how to finally get unstuck.
Whether you’re overwhelmed by a busy schedule, trapped in all-or-nothing thinking, or frustrated from trying everything with no results, I’ll help you pinpoint exactly what’s holding you back and how to move forward.
Why Can’t I Stick to Healthy Habits?
Most people assume that lack of action comes from a lack of knowledge—but that’s rarely the case. The truth is, if you’ve ever thought:
“I know I should eat more vegetables and cut back on sweets, but I don’t.”
“I know I should go to the gym, but I never make it happen.”
“I know my nighttime snacking isn’t helping, but I keep doing it anyway.”
…then the issue isn’t information—it’s execution. And if you’re struggling to execute, one of these three things is likely getting in your way.
1. You’re So Busy You Don’t Know Where to Start
The women in my world tend to be high-achieving. You’re trying to balance careers, families, social lives and often feel like you don’t have time for health and fitness. When your schedule is packed, adding one more thing (even if it’s good for you!) feels overwhelming.
2. You’re Stuck in the All-or-Nothing Mindset
One of the biggest reasons people struggle with consistency is because they believe if they can’t do everything perfectly, they might as well not do it at all.
This looks like:
🚫 Starting strong on Monday, but giving up by Wednesday if you “mess up”
🚫 Feeling like one cookie has ruined your diet, so you might as well eat 5 more
🚫 Thinking if you can’t do a full 60-minute workout, it’s not worth doing anything
This mindset keeps you trapped in a cycle of stopping and starting—and prevents you from making real progress.
3. You Feel Like You’ve Tried Everything and Nothing Works
It’s frustrating to feel like you’re putting in effort but not seeing results. You start to wonder, “Is this even possible for me?” When it feels like nothing has worked, it’s easy to lose motivation before you even start.
