Episode #194

In this week’s episode, Terri and Coach Heather talk about how so often people struggle to achieve their health and weight-loss goals because they maintain an underlying expectation of perfectionism.
They share how perfectionism may present in the fasting and nutritional efforts you are engaging and encourage more realistic expectations.
