What if your struggle with weight has nothing to do with willpower, or food?
In the Close Your Eyes, Lose Weight Series, we begin with a powerful reframe: what if the real reason you haven’t seen lasting results isn’t because you’re doing something wrong… but because your subconscious is trying to protect you?
Drawing from the proven protocol in my bestselling book Close Your Eyes, Lose Weight, I’ll share what I’ve seen in over a decade of hypnotherapy practice, including the unexpected subconscious reasons people resist weight loss, even when they desperately want it.
You’ll hear why emotional safety, identity, and inherited beliefs often drive our behaviors around food, and why “just trying harder” never works long-term. I’ll also open up about my own body image journey as I prepare to give birth to my third baby.
Whether you’ve been on this path for years or you’re just starting to explore a new approach, this episode will help you shift from self-blame to self-compassion, and lay the foundation for lasting transformation.
