Community Works Better Than Willpower w/ Dr. Deena Kara Shaffer
Description
Still relying on willpower to see you through? How well has that worked in the past?
In this episode, Gina Livy and learning strategist Dr. Deena Kara Shaffer unpack why sustainable weight loss feels so hard, and it’s not about knowing what to eat. Together, they get into the psychology of behaviour change, why overwhelm shows up even when the plan is simple, and how to choose a path that actually works for you (without burning you out). It’s a practical conversation about mastering the “how” behind starting, staying, and showing up for yourself, especially when life gets messy (because when isn't life messy!?). If you’ve ever struggled with motivation, follow-through, or feeling like you have to do ALL THE THINGS to be successful, this one will hit home.
