😒What if the biggest source of your stress… is focusing on the wrong things?

🚌 In today’s episode, we’re revisiting a powerful conversation with author and confidence coach Robin Sacks, who wrote Get Off My Bus. Even though this interview originally aired years ago, the message is more relevant than ever — especially if you feel overwhelmed, stuck, or frustrated in your health journey.

Robin shares a simple but life-changing truth:

There are things in life you have zero control over.
 And there are things you have complete control over.

Most of us spend the majority of our time obsessing over the first category — which creates stress, drains our energy, and keeps us from taking action on the things that actually move the needle.

Sound familiar?

Whether you're navigating weight loss, hormonal shifts, career stress, or just trying to keep up with daily life — learning to focus on what you can control changes everything.

🧠In this episode, we unpack 5 powerful shifts that will help you:

    Identify where you're leaking energyReduce self-inflicted stressStop waiting for perfect conditionsRegain clarity in your daily flowTake ownership of your habits, mindset, and choices

Because here’s the truth:
When you stay stuck in what you can’t control, you stall progress.
When you focus on what you can control, you build momentum.

And momentum builds confidence.

If you’ve been saying, “I know what to do, I’m just not doing it,” this conversation will hit home.

🙌 In This Episode:

    The “bus” metaphor and why it’s so powerfulHow misplaced focus creates unnecessary stressWhy regret often stems from inactionThe connection between control, confidence, and consistencyHow this mindset shift directly impacts your weight loss journey
