  • 45. What’s Really Getting in the Way of Your Health Goals?
    Jul 23 2025


    When progress stalls or health goals feel out of reach, it’s easy to blame outside circumstances—your schedule, your genes, your age, or even other people. But what if blame itself is the biggest obstacle standing in your way? In this episode, we explore how the habit of blaming can keep you stuck, distract you from solutions, and prevent you from tuning into what your body truly needs.


    This isn’t about guilt—it’s about awareness and ownership. I’ll walk you through the most common roadblocks people face on their health and performance journey, and how shifting your perspective can uncover opportunities for real progress. If you’re tired of spinning your wheels and ready to reclaim your momentum, this episode will help you get clear, get honest, and get moving in the right direction.
