The reason the non-diet approach didn't work isn't the approach. It's that the work stayed too surface level.
Most weight-neutral health coaching teaches behaviors. It doesn't touch identity. And without identity work — without building the version of yourself you are becoming — the old patterns always come back. This episode is about the piece that's been missing.
What you'll learn:
What future self work actually is and why it's grounded in behavioral science, not manifesting
The two phases of future self work — unintentional model first, future self construction second
Why the future self feels like a stranger and what neuroscience says about why
The specific socialization patterns that make this work harder for women
The daily question to use in micro-decisions to start aligning with who you are becoming
