The Anti-Should Fitness Psychology Podcast

Episode 2: Guilt, shame, & the myth of just "trying harder"

Well-intentioned plans. Not fulfilled. Spirals of guilt and shame. All or nothing cycles. Restart. Repeat. Try again on Monday. If that loop sounds familiar, this episode is for you. I explain what's actually happening, and why "just trying harder" won't help you move forwards.

Episode 1: The road to anti-should fitness

In this episode I set the scene for the origins of my anti-should fitness psychology approach. The professional journey, but also the personal one - a relationship with health and fitness filled with guilt and shame, and how this led to me ditching my own "shoulds" and using psychology to do things differently!
