159: Transform Your Relationship With Exercise and Batching (And Stop Dreading the Gym and the Kitchen)

In this solo episode, I share about my upcoming summer in France 🇫🇷 while being rudely interrupted by my cat, Sweet Pea! 😂

Then, I dive into something that has completely shifted the way I approach healthy habits: my relationship with the process itself.

For years, I told myself the story that I hated working out. I exercised because I knew it was good for me, but I complained about it constantly and approached it with resistance and dread. Recently, I realized that my mindset about exercise, not the workouts themselves, was what was making the experience feel so difficult.

This episode is all about how our thoughts shape our emotional experience and why learning to enjoy (yes, it’s possible!) the process of healthy habits is the key to making them sustainable.

In this episode, I talk about:

Why your thoughts about the process matter more than the habit itself
How reframing your relationship with exercise can change your results
The power of enjoying the journey instead of obsessing over outcomes
My personal story of going from dreading workouts to actually loving them
Why self-compassion and kindness are essential for sustainable change
How shifting your mindset can completely change your emotional experience around a habit
