The Paul Dermody Podcast

Discover how limiting beliefs create false choices, like dieting versus misery, and why success doesn't always quell identity doubts. Explore the integration of desires instead of suppression, and how perfectionism may mask deeper fears. Learn practical strategies to test your beliefs and allow doubt while taking action. Paul challenges common motivation misconceptions and emphasizes that real change often comes from unspectacular but effective efforts. Embrace a compassionate approach to self-integration and act like the person you aspire to be.

Give me 20 minutes to show you that you're motivated. We think of weight loss as discipline and willpower. But every action (every skipped workout, every frustrating failed time you overeat, every time you diet) has a motivation behind it. Some are obvious: wanting to look better. Others are subtle: control, comfort, identity, even love. Motivation works in layers. And unless you understand those layers, you're fighting the wrong battle. This episode explores why every behaviour has a story, and why finding the real reason behind your choices is important. To book a one-hour personalised click here.
