EP 228. How to Stop Self-Sabotaging and Lose Weight: Serena Hicks’ 30-Pound Identity Shift

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.
