Does your effort, meaning the time, energy, and work you are putting into your goals, match the results? If the answer is no, you have an addiction to working.

You might not think of this as a problem. After all, it is better than the opposite, like never finishing a project or struggling to start. We live in a culture that praises hard work and accomplishment. But overwork leads to burnout, and burnout leads to chronic stress.

In this episode, Lisa discusses the addiction to overworking, unbridled ambition, and chronic stress. She shares the beliefs she was holding on to that kept her stuck in a cycle of overwhelm and burnout.

Lisa explains what you can do to combat the new, dangerous, and prevalent lifestyle disease: work addiction. She explains not just how to eliminate chronic stress from feeling like you are never doing enough, but also how to make sure you don’t return to the mindset of doing too much.

If you are constantly pushing yourself to hit goals and be successful, but feel like your ambition is getting in the way of your health and peace, this episode is for you. Tune in to learn the five things that compel you to overwork and over-commitment, and how to balance your drive with your health.

In this episode, Lisa explains the risks of carrying around excess weight and why being overweight is a preexisting condition. She shares her journey of losing over 60 pounds and why the eat less, burn more mindset isn't effective or safe.

To hit your goals, you need endurance. That starts with your health.

Lisa talks about what changes when you shift your goal from vanity (losing weight) to health (extending life). She shares her proven method to lose weight and keep it off without counting calories or starvation.

This episode is for you if:

• You've been eating "better", but not seeing results.
• You are moving more, but still can't get rid of those extra pounds.
• You think being overweight is okay because you aren't on prescription medications or haven't been diagnosed with another condition.

Being overweight is a precursor to lifestyle diseases. Does food have more control over you than you have over it? It is time to take control. Tune in to learn how to move the scale in 30 days while improving your health overall.
