EP 235. Stop Saying Yes, Start Losing Weight: Break Free from People Pleasing with Sara Fisk
People-pleasing is like the junk drawer of bad habits—it’s packed with random, unnecessary stuff that drains your energy, clutters your mind, and, oh yeah, totally messes with your weight loss goals.
You think you’re just being nice, keeping the peace, making sure everyone’s happy. But here’s the truth: Every time you say yes when you want to say no, you’re chipping away at your own well-being. And guess what? That frustration, that exhaustion, that resentment? It’s showing up on your plate—through stress eating, emotional snacking, and mindless overeating.
Enter Sara Fisk, the ultimate Stop People Pleasing Coach. She’s here to blow the lid off the real reason women are stuck in this cycle and show you how to break free—without guilt, without fear, and without needing to explain yourself to Aunt Susan at the next family dinner.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
Why people-pleasing is basically the gateway drug to emotional eating.
The sneaky ways it’s sabotaging your weight loss without you even realizing it.
The one question you need to ask yourself before your next ‘Yes’—that might just change your life.
Why women are conditioned to make their bodies “pleasing” to others (and how to stop that nonsense ASAP).
How to reclaim your personal power—starting with what’s on your plate.
