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 Auntie 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.
This episode is a MUST-LISTEN for every woman who’s tired of living for other people and is so ready to take her body, her health, and her life back.
Listen now, and start putting you first—without the guilt.

Why do you keep doing the opposite of what you say you want? You plan to eat healthy, then find yourself elbow-deep in tortilla chips.
You lose a few pounds, then suddenly “forget” to meal prep.
You’re not lazy, undisciplined, or broken—your brain is just clinging to an identity that no longer serves you.
In this episode, I’m breaking down why self-sabotage isn’t really sabotage—it’s just your identity fighting to stay the same. If you don’t shift who you believe you are, you’ll keep sabotaging yourself, no matter how many diets you try.
So, if you’re stuck in the same cycle of losing and regaining weight, press play, and let’s get to the root of it.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
-
Why self-sabotage is an identity crisis—not a willpower problem
-
The sneaky ways fear of change keeps you stuck in old patterns
-
How diet culture shaped your “health identity” (without you realizing it)
-
4 powerful steps to shift your identity and stop sabotaging your weight loss
-
Why the key to losing weight for good has nothing to do with food

If you’ve ever thought, “Once life settles down, I’ll lose the weight…” – this episode is your wake-up call. My guest, Serena Hicks, is here to show you how she dismissed 30 pounds without perfection, without obsessing, and while going through one of the hardest seasons of her life.
This isn’t just about weight loss—it’s about identity. Because here’s the truth: you don’t lose the weight first and THEN become a new person. You become that person along the way. Serena spills it all: the journaling, the mindset shifts, and how she stopped self-sabotaging to become someone who just takes care of herself.
Her story will challenge everything you believe about “perfect conditions” and weight loss, and inspire you to start showing up for yourself, right now, no matter what’s happening in your life.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
-
Why perfection is NOT required to lose weight (and what actually is).
-
How to stop self-sabotaging when life feels chaotic.
-
The ONE daily habit that changed everything for Serena.
-
What it looks like to shift your identity (and why this matters more than willpower).
-
Why the scale isn’t your enemy—it’s just data.
