If discipline-based goals actually worked, you wouldn’t be starting over every January. In this episode of The Life You Crave, Lia breaks down why discipline-based goals fail—and how identity, self-leadership, and feeling good create sustainable weight loss. This conversation invites you to step out of pressure, deprivation, and willpower and into a way of changing that feels aligned, natural, and sustainable.
If you’re already tired of resolutions, rules, and “trying harder,” this episode is for you. Lia explains why most weight loss goals collapse—not because you lack discipline, but because they’re built on suffering and scarcity. And when the path to your goal feels terrible, the destination never feels good either.
Instead, Lia introduces a radically different approach: committing to feeling good now rather than waiting for the scale, the finish line, or the “perfect” version of you. You’ll learn how focusing on identity and self-leadership—who you are being, not just what you’re doing—creates results that actually last.
In this episode, Lia shares:
Why resolutions fail even for highly disciplined, ambitious women
The real reason weight loss feels exhausting and unsustainable
How identity-based change creates natural, lasting results
Why “no pain, no gain” is a myth that keeps women stuck
How committing to feeling good reshapes your relationship with food, movement, and your body
Why sustainable weight loss requires choosing methods you’re willing to live with for life
You’ll also hear real-life examples of how shifting from deprivation to alignment changes everything—from what you eat, to how you move your body, to how you show up in your life.
This episode is an invitation to make this the last year you feel deprived. The last year you’re consumed by food and weight. And the year you finally stop starting over—by becoming the woman who creates change naturally, from a place of self-leadership, love, and feeling good.
