Show Notes
My new book, FULL: THE EMPTINESS OF OVEREATING, is available here. This episode explores how limiting beliefs narrow options. From the false choice between dieting and staying miserable, to the feeling that success still does not "count," even after it has been achieved. It looks at why writing a bestselling book does not automatically resolve identity doubt, and what that reveals about permission, self-trust, and why evidence alone rarely dissolves limiting beliefs. The conversation also examines how these beliefs show up in health, food, and body image, not as a lack of effort, but as a lack of possibilities. And why real change begins when rigid binaries are replaced with better questions. This episode is about loosening beliefs that feel protective, but keep people stuck.
