Feel Light Mind & Body

138 - If you’ve ever thought, “I know what to do, so why do I keep slipping back?” this episode is for you. In this replay, Clarenda coaches Wanda through the mindset shift from “it has to be hard” to “it can be simple.” You’ll hear how cognitive dissonance (that tug-of-war between old beliefs and new ones) shows up in weight loss, and how practicing new thought patterns makes the process sustainable. Inside this episode, you'll learn: 1. Why old patterns feel easier (even when they’re not helping you) 2. Tools to interrupt self-sabotage: thought downloads, future-self, intentional reframes 3. How group coaching provides real-time encouragement and proof that change is possible 4. A new way to view struggle: you may be closer to your “gold” than you realize “I don’t want it to be complicated and hard, but I want the results. Group coaching is great because I can see the results, so I know it can happen. I’ve got real-life evidence.” ~ Wanda W ✨ Another round of the Feel Light Mind & Body program begins September 22.
