    You Don't Have to Be Perfectly Ready to Show Up

    This Saturday I'm doing a 25 mile charity bike ride, and I want to be really honest with you. I have barely ridden more than five or ten miles at a time all winter long. So am I perfectly prepared? Nope, not even close. But I'm going anyway. And today I want to talk about why you do not have to be perfectly ready to do the thing you actually want to do, because I have a feeling there's something you've been holding yourself back from too. In this episode I'm getting into the difference between genuinely not being able to do something and just not feeling ready for it (and why one of those is almost never a real reason to stay home). I'm sharing what my actual prep has looked like, how I'm making peace with being slower than I'd like and letting my son smoke me up the hills, and a story from last year's ride that taught me you never have to prove anything to anybody. There may also be a tater tot confession in here, and a very important sandwich. If this one meant something to you, the best thing you can do is follow or subscribe to the podcast wherever you're listening. Every follow helps this little show reach more women just like us, and it genuinely helps me grow this community. I would so appreciate your help.

    Feeling Behind Before Summer's Even Here? Start With This.

    I was driving into work the other day and I passed a couple of women out riding their bikes. And my very first thought was not "good for them." It was "must be nice." They looked like they were living the dream, and there I was feeling like summer was already here and I'd completely missed my window to get ready for it. If you have ever had that exact thought, that everyone else has it together and you somehow don't, this episode is for you. In this episode I'm getting into why "I'm behind" is just a thought, not the truth, and how that one thought quietly keeps you stuck and talking yourself out of even starting. I'm sharing where I actually am right now (spoiler: I've got a charity ride coming up that I feel wildly unprepared for), and the one place I want you to start instead of trying to fix everything at once. And it's probably not where you'd expect. I'm running my free Summer Reset Challenge right now and it is not too late to jump in. Go to sascy.com/challenge to get signed up so you don't miss a thing. And if you're hearing this after the challenge has already wrapped up, head to that same link anyway and get on the waitlist, because I run these all the time and I'd love to have you in the next one.

    You Don't Have to Lose Weight Alone Anymore: Why Hiding It Is Holding You Back.

    You've read the articles. You've downloaded the apps. You've tried the diets. At this point you could probably teach a class on how to lose weight. And yet here you are, still trying to figure out why it isn't working. Today I want to talk about the one thing that changed everything for me, and it's the one thing nobody is selling you, because you can't put it in an app and you can't print it on the cover of a magazine. In this episode I'm getting into why a diet built for somebody else was never going to fit your actual life, why doing this all alone and in secret is the hardest possible way to do it, and how the fear of messing up in front of people is the very thing that keeps you stuck. I'm sharing the story of how I lost 50 pounds without telling a single soul it was even my goal, why that made everything so much harder, and what finally changes when you stop white-knuckling it by yourself and let the right people in. I'm running a free Summer Weight Loss Challenge starting Monday, June 8th and it is built around everything I've been talking about on the podcast. Go to sascy.com/challenge to get on the list so you don't miss a thing. And if you're hearing this after the challenge has already happened, go to that link anyway because there will always be something there for you.

    Why Diets Have Never Worked for You (And What Needs to Change)

    Over the last few weeks I've been talking about why you already know what to do but can't do it, why you quit every diet by week two, why you've stopped believing it's possible, and how finding movement I love was the real turning point in my weight loss. Today I'm tying all of that together. Because it all points to one thing. And once you see it, you can't unsee it. In this episode I'm getting into why the way we've been taught to think about weight loss is completely backwards, why starting with calorie counting and restriction and intermittent fasting and saving up your points for the weekend is the reason nothing has stuck, and what actually needs to change if you want to lose weight in a way that you can keep up for the rest of your life. I'm running a free Summer Weight Loss Challenge starting the week of June 2nd and you will have direct access to me during the challenge. I've had hundreds of women go through my free challenges over the years and I want you to be one of them. Go to sascy.com/challenge to get on the list so you don't miss a thing. And, if you're hearing this after the challenge has already happened, go to that link anyway because there will always be something there for you!

    I Was in the Best Shape of My Life and Still Overweight. Here's What Finally Changed.

    I've talked about the moment I stood in front of the mirror and decided to lose weight for the last time. But I've been thinking about it, and that wasn't actually when everything changed. The real moment happened a couple of years before that and it had nothing to do with food or dieting or calories. In this episode I'm sharing the story of how my husband buying me a bike for our anniversary was the actual turning point in my weight loss journey, why falling in love with movement completely changed the way I thought about my body, and why I was probably in the best shape of my life while still being overweight. I'm also talking about why this isn't about biking and how finding YOUR thing, whatever that is, might be the piece that changes everything for you too. I'm running a free challenge starting the week of June 2nd. Go to sascy.com/challenge to get on the waitlist so you don't miss a thing!

    I Stopped Believing I Could Lose Weight. Here's What Changed.

    If you've tried to lose weight so many times that you've quietly decided you're just not the kind of person who can do it, this episode is for you. I'm sharing what it was like to grow up thinking I just loved food too much, the PowerBar and Powerade lunches in college to look good in a dress, the years of calorie counting and never having enough points, and how I eventually just stopped getting my hopes up. And I'm talking about what actually made me believe again, because it had nothing to do with finding the right diet. If you don't believe it's possible for you yet, that's okay. I'll believe it for you until you're ready to believe it for yourself. Also, I'm working on a brand new challenge for the lead up to summer starting the week of June 2nd! Go to sascy.com/challenge to get on the waitlist so you don't miss a thing. It's going to be SO good.

    Why You Fall Off Every Diet By Week 2

    If you have ever started a diet on a Monday, been SO excited about it, kept it up for a week or maybe two, and then completely fallen off and spent the next few months feeling guilty about it before trying again, this episode is for you. I'm sharing what this cycle looked like for me for years, including my very exciting first round of Weight Watchers with the little wallet and the McDonald's points booklet, the hand-me-down Nutrisystem food that tasted like cardboard, and the pattern of only being able to lose weight over the summer when I wasn't working. And I'm talking about why this keeps happening and why it has absolutely nothing to do with your willpower or motivation. If you're tired of starting over, I am working on a brand new challenge for the lead up to summer that I am really excited about.

    You Already Know What to Do. So Why Aren't You Doing It?

    You know what to eat. You know you should be moving your body. You've read the books, you've done the calorie counting, you could probably give someone else advice on how to lose weight. And you still can't make it work for yourself. In this episode I'm getting really honest about the gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it. I'm sharing what it used to look like for me standing in front of the pantry after a long day shoveling in Goldfish and pretzels and Doritos knowing it wasn't helping but not being able to stop. And I'm talking about what I actually needed to bridge that gap, because it wasn't more information. If you've ever thought "I know what I should be doing, I just can't make myself do it," this one is for you. I'm working on a new challenge for this summer and I'm building a waitlist right now.
