Two Ways to Start Before the New Year and How to Pick (opens the original)
Read excerpt
"I'm not ready yet" might be the most common reason women physicians put off getting help, and it almost never means what it sounds like. In this episode, Alison explains exactly what a Clarity Call is (and isn't), walks through the two ways to start working with her this fall, the October small group and 1:1 coaching, and gives you the one question that decides which is right for you. In this episode: Why "I'm not ready" is a willpower idea, and why there's nothing to get ready for What actuall
The October Window: Why Now Beats January (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You already know the instinct: wait for January, start clean, do it right. This episode makes the case that October is actually the better window — not as a marketing angle, but because the chaos of summer has genuinely settled, the holidays haven't started yet, and the seasonal shift in cravings is just beginning instead of already in full swing. Then Alison takes on the three things that talk people out of starting now. In this episode: Why October beats January on the actual conditions — not
The Process Reward: Why Keeping a Promise to Yourself Beats Chasing the Result (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You already know what to do. That was never the actual problem. What determines whether any of it sticks is where your reward is coming from — and if you're waiting on the scale, on praise, or on a treat you've decided you've earned, you're building on the least durable kind of motivation there is.

The fix isn't a better rewa

Read excerpt
Most of us handle the foods we love, once weight loss becomes the goal, in one of two ways: we cut them out entirely, or we quietly replace them with a smaller, "acceptable" stand-in that never actually satisfies us. Both are restriction wearing a different outfit — and both build the exact pressure that eventually shows up as a hard-to-control urge. This week, Alison borrows a rule from improv comedy — yes, and — to lay out a third option: naming the food you genuinely love, honestly, and build
The Myth of a Normal Week: What's Actually Keeping You From Losing Weight (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You're waiting for a calm, uninterrupted week to finally focus on this — and that week isn't coming. This episode covers why your brain keeps promising you one anyway, what "once things calm down" actually costs you, and how to build a plan designed to survive the real week instead of the imaginary one. In this episode: Why your brain craves predictability, and why "normal" is a fiction, not a baseline "Once things calm down, I'll..." — the postponement trap and why the external thing resolving
