Beyond Willpower: Why Self-Criticism Keeps You Stuck

Many people believe they need more willpower to stay consistent with fasting or eating habits.

🎙️In this bonus episode, Dr. Terri Lance gently challenges that idea and explains why so-called "self-sabotaging" behaviors are often coping responses, not failures. When stress is high and the nervous system is overwhelmed, food can become a fast and familiar way to regulate — not a lack of discipline.

Real, sustainable change doesn't come from pushing harder or criticizing yourself. It comes from understanding what's happening underneath your behaviors and learning how to respond differently when things get difficult.

This episode is part of the Beyond Knowing series — exploring the gap between knowing what to do and being able to do it consistently.
