MYWL Workshop Day 1 Q&A

Episode Summary:

In this live Q&A session following Day 1 of the MYWL Workshop, Eliza Kingsford dives into real-life questions from participants who are struggling with food, frustration, and the shame of “knowing better but not doing better.”

Through compassionate coaching and science-backed insight, Eliza unpacks why this happens — and how it connects to your nervous system, identity, and decades of patterned behavior.

If you've ever asked yourself, "Why can't I just follow through?" — this is your session.

What You’ll Learn:

Why “just do it” is toxic advice when your nervous system is dysregulated
How your subconscious patterns override conscious goals
The truth about willpower (hint: it’s not a character flaw)
How to move from shame to curiosity when change feels hard
The importance of noticing and naming your state without judgment
Why “fixing” your body doesn’t fix your relationship with food

Big Concepts Covered:

“Knowing vs. Doing” Disconnect: Understanding the nervous system’s role in self-sabotage
Stress-Induced Eating: How daily stress loads impact decisions even before a trigger moment
Shame Spirals: Why failure feels so defeating — and how to reframe it
“Tiny Nudges”: Small nervous-system-informed shifts that actually stick
The Myth of Control: Why trying to “white-knuckle” your way to change backfires
Real client example: “I was calm all day, and then I numbed out at night…” (and what it really meant)

Real Coaching Moments:

“If you’ve been dieting for 10, 20, 30 years, you’ve trained your system to not trust you.” “This is not a willpower issue — it’s a survival system doing its job.” “The goal is not to never eat emotionally. The goal is to understand what’s happening underneath.”

Reflection Questions:

When do you feel most “out of control” with food?
What nervous system state are you typically in when that happens?
How would it feel to replace shame with self-study?

Action Steps:

Jot down your biggest “aha” from this Q&A — share it in the All Access Portal.
Practice one Tiny Nudge today (take a breath, name a state, pause before autopilot).
Don’t skip Day 2 — the conversation builds beautifully into beliefs and identity.
