"The Brat" - The Villain Inside You that Sabotages Weight Loss

Is your Inner Brat sabotaging your weight loss effort?

The Brat is that part of us that asks... "What can I get away with?"

In this episode, we explore the concept of The Brat archetype in dieting and weight loss.

Over 15 years of working with nearly 3000 women, our expert has identified recurring patterns of self-sabotage linked to this 'brat' persona.

We'll discuss how this archetype manifests, particularly when things are going well, and how it often stems from a desire for freedom and autonomy.

Dive into the various sub-archetypes like the rebel, the protector, and the cynic, and learn practical strategies to work with, rather than against, these parts of yourself.

Reframe your approach to dieting by embracing joy and pleasure, and build a sustainable, self-honoring relationship with food.

Let's break away from diet culture and learn how to link arms with the brat for a healthier, happier journey.
