Chasing A Goal vs Chasing A Lifestyle: Why Women Struggle To Maintain Their Results

In this episode of Empowered Radio, host Emma Montgomery kicks off a new series by tackling one of the biggest reasons women struggle to maintain their results: chasing a goal instead of building a lifestyle. She shares her own journey of repeatedly losing weight for competitions only to gain it back, and breaks down why goals alone are never enough. This episode covers the finish line mindset, the difference between knowing what to do and becoming the person who does it, and why identity — not information — drives lasting change.

BTS Of Shred with Em, How + Why My Most Loved Program Was Created

Em shares the raw, personal origin story behind her popular fitness program, Shred with Em. It started not as a business plan, but as a desperate need for structure during one of the hardest seasons of her life — seven months postpartum, struggling with undiagnosed postpartum depression, and feeling unrecognizable in her own body. What began with a simple 21-day online challenge grew into a passion for helping women, then a coaching practice, and ultimately the Shred — a six-week macro-based fat loss program that has now transformed the lives of 10,000+ women. Em breaks down exactly what the Shred is, what results to expect, and who it's truly designed for.

What Happens When You Chase Too Many Goals

One of the biggest mistakes I see women make is chasing too many goals at the same time. Yes, it's great to be ambitious and have goals, however most of the time the goals are not aligned (ie: wanting to lose fat but also training for a half marathon). So instead of making real progress on either of them, you feel stuck in the middle of both and splitting your effort between 2-3 different things. Today I'm going to walk you through the most optimal way to reach your goals.  Submit a question [https://macroswithem.com/pages/podcast] for the podcast  Summer Shred [https://macroswithem.com/pages/shred-with-em]: May 18th Apply for coaching [https://macroswithem.com/pages/one-on-one]  Join the Monthly Membership [https://macroswithem.com/pages/monthly-membership]  HAPI supplements [https://www.hapibodi.com/] The EmPowered Community free Facebook group [https://www.facebook.com/groups/macroswithemcommunity/]  Follow Emma on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/macroswithem/] Follow Emma on Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/macroswithem] Apply for coaching [https://macroswithem.com/pages/one-on-one]  Join the Monthly Membership [https://macroswithem.com/pages/monthly-membership]  Submit a question [https://macroswithem.com/pages/podcast] for the podcast  HAPI supplements [https://www.hapibodi.com/] The EmPowered Community free Facebook group [https://www.facebook.com/groups/macroswithemcommunity/]  Follow Emma on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/macroswithem/] Follow Emma on Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/macroswithem]
