216 Could you be trying to solve the wrong problem? Why your fitness and wellbeing goals still feel out of reach

Have you ever felt like you’ve tried everything to reach a goal – new plans, new hacks, more discipline – and yet somehow, you always end up back where you started?

In this episode, we'll explore why that happens so often. Spoiler: it’s not because you’re lazy, unmotivated, or bad at sticking to things. It’s usually because you’ve been trying to solve the wrong problem.

Today I'm sharing a few stories with you of trying to solve the wrong problem. And I’ll give you three powerful questions you can ask yourself today to find the right problem to solve so that you can finally get different results.

Key Takeaways

  • Why repeating the same strategies often leads to the same stuck feeling
  • How focusing on surface-level fixes keeps you from addressing the real issue
  • Real examples of clients who shifted their focus and found lasting change
  • The role of self-reflection, compassion, and body awareness in finding better answers
  • 3 powerful questions to ask when you feel like nothing’s working

Sometimes it’s not about trying harder – it’s about stepping back and asking a better question.

Listen in to discover why identifying the real problem can change everything, and how to finally create a path forward that works for you.

About the Podcast

Busy Woman's Guide to Wellbeing
Mindset, Balance & Fitness for Real Life
The Busy Woman’s Guide is a wellness podcast for women looking for a healthy lifestyle that fits THEIR rhythm, not a cookie cutter version of all the “shoulds” and to-do lists out there.

Hosted by Alix Hubble, women’s therapeutic, fitness and life coach, I take you deeper into a wellbeing for YOU.

Because you already know what it takes to build healthy habits, and you’ve got enough productivity tips, workout motivation hacks, and tips for how to be consistent, how to stop procrastinating and how to achieve work life balance to last a lifetime.

So let’s explore what really sits beneath your burnout, your lack of consistency, your self sabotage, or your need to always “be on it.”

This is your permission slip to stop performing, start listening to yourself, and create a rhythm that actually fits your life.

If you’re asking questions like these….this is the place to be:

- How to stop overthinking?
- How can I be productive without burning out?
- How can I stop tying my self worth and self esteem to being busy?
- How can I stop self-sabotaging my progress?
- How do I feel more comfortable in my own skin again?
