Summary
You are intelligent. You know what to do… so why can’t you make yourself do it? In this episode I explore why weight loss and business burnout have far less to do with motivation than most people believe. I sat down with Brittany McNabb from Mind, Body, Britt - who lost over 40kg, built a successful personal training business and now helps thousands of women transform not only their bodies but the way they think. With a background in psychotherapy, she explains why willpower isn't the problem - and what actually is. We unpack the surprising role your nervous system plays in weight loss, the mindset successful entrepreneurs and athletes have in common and the psychology behind why you keep failing (even when you know better). If your goal is improving your health, building confidence or creating a business you love, this conversation is packed with practical insights that apply far beyond fitness.
