Perimenopause can feel overwhelming, confusing, and downright frustrating… but it doesn’t have to be!

• What perimenopause actually is and how long it lasts
• Why so many women feel lost and unsupported in this transition

In this episode, we dive deep into the crucial connection between self-worth and health, particularly in the context of weight loss. Many people believe that weight loss is all about diet and exercise, but we explore how mindset and self-perception play an even bigger role in achieving and maintaining your goals.

Key Points Discussed:

• The Connection Between Worthiness and Weight Loss: We discuss how feelings of unworthiness can manifest in self-sabotage, low self-esteem, fear of success, and emotional stress. These feelings can lead to negative behaviors like skipping workouts, overeating, or giving up too soon, all stemming from a belief that one doesn't deserve success.
• Common Blocks to Feeling Worthy: Cultural and societal pressures, such as unrealistic beauty standards and weight stigma, can deeply affect how we view ourselves. We unpack how these external influences contribute to self-limiting beliefs like “I’m too old to change” or “I don’t deserve to feel good because I’ve failed before.”
• Rewriting the Story of Your Worth: Shifting from unworthiness to a mindset that embraces health and wellness requires self-compassion, challenging limiting beliefs, setting achievable goals, and surrounding yourself with positive influences. We share practical steps listeners can take to begin this shift and reinforce their sense of worth on their health journey.

By the end of this episode, you’ll be encouraged to reflect on the stories you’ve been telling yourself about your body and your goals. Do you feel worthy of feeling strong and healthy? Let’s challenge those doubts together.
