150. The Top Cognitive Distortions Keeping You Stuck
Most of the time, what keeps us stuck in our health journey isn’t food or exercise — it’s our thought patterns. All-or-nothing thinking, “shoulds,” catastrophizing… these distortions twist reality and keep us cycling in guilt, shame, and frustration.
In this episode, I break down the top cognitive distortions I see in my coaching clients (and in my own life too!), with real examples and practical ways to shift them. If you’ve ever thought, “I blew it, might as well start again Monday,” this one’s for you.
You’ll walk away with tools to catch unhelpful thoughts, reframe them, and start renewing your mind so that lasting change actually feels possible.
