Let's break down a check-in from a client who is not tracking food, calories or scale weight and then tried on clothing that were far too big for her. Suddenly, the pull to weigh herself or overeat became overwhelming. We break down what motivation really is, how to soothe yourself when you're anxious, and the psychology behind punishment vs celebration ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-paul-dermody-podcast-1118028/episodes/220-client-masterclass-on-motivation-and-self-sabotage/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-paul-dermody-podcast-1118028/220-client-masterclass-on-motivation-and-self-sabotage.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
