If you’ve ever felt like you were doing great with your diet or training, only to fall off track the moment people start noticing your results, this episode will hit home. Kim unpacks why self-sabotage isn’t something that happens to you, but rather a series of conscious or unconscious decisions that you choose in the moment. You’ll learn: Why “falling off track” is not failure—it's just one choice How to shift from victim mindset to radical self-responsibility The real reason praise or progress might trigger your urge to quit Why reframing every moment as a decision puts the power back in your hands How childhood patterns of punishment and shame affect your adult behavior The one mindset shift that can permanently break your sabotage cycle This isn’t just about weight loss.
