Wanting Results vs Practicing Change: Why Process Goals Matter More Than Outcome Goals

[00:00:00] Emily Field: Welcome back to the Macros Made Easy podcast. I’m your host, Emily Field, registered dietician, personal trainer, and someone who has spent years helping women navigate food, fitness, and behavior change in a way that actually works in real life. As we head toward the end of the year, this is when a lot of people start thinking about goals, not reflecting, but planning, thinking about the way they want their next year to look, what they want their body to do, what they wanna fix, change, or finally get right.

 

[00:00:27] Emily Field: And after years of coaching women through nutrition training and habit change, I’ve noticed something really consistent. Most people are very good at knowing what they want, but very bad at choosing what they’re willing to practice. We know how to want results. We’re just not very good at designing change because for most of our lives we’ve only been taught one kind of goal setting.

 

[00:00:51] Emily Field: Outcome-based goals, and in the health and fitness space, those usually sound like, I wanna lose 15 pounds, or I wanna get leaner, or I wanna feel better in my body, or I just wanna be more consistent. And those goals aren’t wrong, but they’re super vague, emotionally loaded, and completely non-instructional.

 

[00:01:10] Emily Field: They don’t tell you what to do on a random Tuesday when you’re tired. They don’t help you navigate imperfect weeks, and they don’t survive stress hormones or real life. If someone has gone a step further, they might say something like, okay, maybe a smart goal is what I need. In the health and fitness world, that often turns into something like, I’ll lose 10 pounds in 12 weeks, or I’ll work out five days a week, or I’ll track my food every day, but here’s where things quietly fall apart.

 

[00:01:39] Emily Field: Smart goals work best when conditions are predictable. Variables are controlled and execution is fairly linear. Health, fitness and nutrition are none of those things. Your energy changes, your appetite changes, your hormones change, your schedule changes, your stress load changes. Sometimes daily and smart goals don’t tell you what to do when you miss a workout.

 

[00:02:01] Emily Field: Don’t hit your macros. Feel exhausted, or life doesn’t cooperate. So when those goals inevitably break down, most people don’t rethink the goal design. They internalize it. They assume they’re inconsistent, undisciplined, and bad at follow through. But here’s what I wanna be very clear about before we go any further.

 

[00:02:22] Emily Field: Most women don’t fail because they lack motivation. They fail because they were never taught how to practice change. This is not a willpower problem. It’s not a character flaw, it’s a goal design problem. So in today’s episode, I wanna teach you the difference between wanting results and practicing change because the women who make real lasting progress aren’t the ones with the most aggressive goals.

 

[00:02:47] Emily Field: They’re the ones who choose behaviors they can repeat even when life isn’t perfect. And once you understand that distinction, everything about goal setting starts to ship. Welcome to Macros Made Easy, the podcast that takes the confusion out of tracking macros. I’m your host, Emily Field, a registered dietician that specializes in a macros approach.

 

[00:03:08] Emily Field: In each episode, I help you learn how to eat in a way that supports your health, body composition, and athletic performance goals. We’ll cover the basics of macronutrients, how to track for various goals, the role of macros in your health, and how to make sustainable changes to your habits. I’ve helped hundreds of people experience more food freedom and flexibility while navigating their nutrition.

 

[00:03:27] Emily Field: So whether you’ve tried macros and it just didn’t stick. Or you just heard the word macros yesterday. I can’t wait to help you too. Now we’ve established the difference between wanting results and practicing change. I wanna talk about why this disconnect becomes even more obvious and so much more frustrating in midlife because a lot of women listening to this are not new to goals.

 

[00:03:51] Emily Field: You’ve set goals before. You’ve hit goals before, and at some point, the same strategies that used to work just stopped working in the same way, and that’s not in your head. What I see over and over again in coaching is that traditional goal setting tends to fall into a few predictable traps, and those traps hit harder in midlife than they did in your twenties and thirties.

 

[00:04:11] Emily Field: Trap number one is outcome only goals. These are the goals that most of us were taught to set, and they sound like, I wanna lose 15 pounds. I wanna get lean by spring. I just wanna be more disciplined, and I wanna be very clear here. There is nothing wrong with wanting those things. The problem is that outcome goals feel motivating at first, and then they collapse quickly.

 

[00:04:35] Emily Field: You cannot directly control outcomes. You can’t decide to lose 15 pounds today. You can’t force your body to cooperate on a timeline. Outcome goals give you zero guidance for daily decision making. They don’t tell you what to do when you miss a workout. They don’t tell you what to eat for lunch. If they don’t help you navigate stress, travel, or exhaustion, and very quickly those goals become emotionally charged.

 

[00:05:00] Emily Field: Every choice feels like it’s either moving you toward the outcome or ruining it, and that’s where the pressure creeps in. And pressure is not a great environment for behavior change. Trap number two is stacking too many goals at once. This one shows up constantly, especially in January. So I’m calling you out if you feel like this.

 

[00:05:20] Emily Field: Women tell me, I want to clean up my diet. I wanna lift more, I wanna sleep better. I want to cut back on alcohol. I wanna manage stress. I wanna get my steps up. Diet, training, sleep, stress, alcohol, movement, supplements, that’s not ambition. That’s overload. Here’s the midlife reality that doesn’t get talked about enough.

 

[00:05:40] Emily Field: Midlife bodies have less margin for error, not more. You don’t bounce back from undereating as quickly. You don’t recover from poor sleep as easily. Stress lingers longer. Hormonal shifts amplify the impact of extremes. So when everything becomes a goal, nothing actually sticks. Not because you’re incapable, but because your system is overwhelmed.

 

[00:06:02] Emily Field: Trap number three, goals based on who you should be. This next piece is quieter, but it’s one of the most powerful patterns I see in coaching, especially with women and midlife. A lot of the goals women set aren’t actually based on who they are now. They’re based on who they used to be or who they think they should be, or who the internet keeps showing them.

 

[00:06:24] Emily Field: It’s the version of you from your early thirties when your energy was higher, your recovery was faster, and your life had more white space in it. It’s the version of you you see on social media. The woman who somehow wakes up early, lifts heavy, cooks beautiful meals, drinks grain juice, manages her stress perfectly, and still has time to look put together.

 

[00:06:45] Emily Field: Or it’s this vague idea of who a disciplined woman is supposed to be. Someone who never misses a workout, never skips a meal prep, and never feels tired or overwhelmed, so without even realizing it, you set goals that assume unlimited energy, unlimited time, minimal stress, a body that responds the way it used to, and then real life shows up.

 

[00:07:06] Emily Field: Your work gets demanding, your family needs, you mental load stacks up. Your sleep isn’t as deep. Your hormones are shifting, your recovery takes longer, and your body just doesn’t tolerate extremes the way it once did, so you try to push through it anyway. You tell yourself you just need to be tougher, more disciplined, more consistent.

 

[00:07:25] Emily Field: You white knuckle the plan and instead of working, eventually it backfires immediately. Not in a dramatic way, but in quiet, familiar ways. You’re more exhausted than you expected. You’re hungry than you should be. Your motivation feels fragile. One missed workout turns into three. One off day with food turns into I’ll start over next week.

 

[00:07:48] Emily Field: And suddenly the discipline you thought you needed feels brittle instead of empowering. That’s why just try it Harder stops working in midlife, not because you’re weak, but because the strategy no longer matches the reality of your life or your physiology. And that’s why so many women feel like they’re constantly starting over, not because they’re failing, but because they keep trying to run the same play with a completely different body nervous system and season of life.

 

[00:08:12] Emily Field: This is the core philosophy behind Eat Lean, and the reason this approach works when others don’t. You don’t need more grit. You don’t need stricter rules. You don’t need to shrink yourself into a old version of who you were. You need goals that work with your physiology, goals that respect your energy, your hormones, and your real life goals that fit the season of life you’re in, not the one you’re comparing yourself to.

 

[00:08:34] Emily Field: And the way we do that is by stepping away from outcome, obsession, and building something far more sustainable. So let’s talk about what that actually looks like. Most women know exactly what they want when it comes to their health. They’ll say, I wanna lose 15 pounds. I wanna feel leaner, I want more energy.

 

[00:08:51] Emily Field: Those are outcome goals. An outcome goal is about the result you’re hoping to achieve, the end point that you’re aiming for, and to be clear, outcome goals aren’t bad. They often reflect something very real and meaningful, wanting to feel better in your body, to feel stronger, to have more energy. Those are very valid desires.

 

[00:09:10] Emily Field: The problem is that in health, fitness, and nutrition outcomes are often the least controllable part of the equation. Your weight can fluctuate based on hormones, stress, sleep, inflammation, and digestion. Fat loss doesn’t happen on a predictable timeline, and energy doesn’t improve in a straight line. So when an outcome goal becomes the goal, especially a very specific one, you end up judging your success based on something you can’t fully control.

 

[00:09:37] Emily Field: And that’s where the frustration sets in. This is why we shift the focus to process goals. Process goals aren’t about what you want, they’re about what you practice. They focus on habits, behaviors, routines that you can actually execute regardless of what the scale does that week. So instead of I wanna lose 15 pounds, the process goal becomes, I eat protein forward meals most days of the week.

 

[00:10:02] Emily Field: Instead of, I wanna feel leaner, the process goal becomes, I lift weights three to four times per week and fuel my recovery instead of, I want more energy. The process goal becomes, I eat regularly and stop skipping meals. This might seem like a subtle shift, but it really changes everything because now the goal is something you can actually control.

 

[00:10:22] Emily Field: You can choose a protein forward breakfast today. You can show up for a lift today. You can eat lunch instead of pushing through on coffee today. And here’s another piece that’s really important and often overlooked. Sometimes the outcome goal isn’t even the right goal. Let’s go back to that example. I wanna lose 15 pounds.

 

[00:10:43] Emily Field: What if she loses seven pounds but feels noticeably leaner, stronger, and more fit? According to the goal she failed. What if she doesn’t lose much weight at all, but her body composition changes, her clothes fit better. Her confidence in the gym skyrockets and her energy improves. She failed again. What if chasing that number requires extreme restriction, damages her relationship with food, or puts her health at risk?

 

[00:11:09] Emily Field: She failed even though stopping was probably the smartest decision she can make. Outcome goals leave no room for nuance. They don’t account for progress that shows up differently than expected, and they often cause women to miss the very wins they were hoping for in the first place. Process goals keep the outcome open-ended.

 

[00:11:29] Emily Field: They allow you to stay curious instead of critical. Instead of asking did I hit the number, you start asking what’s happening as a result of how I’m showing up right now. What happens if I eat this way most days? What happens if I train consistently for strength? What happens if I actually support my energy instead of pushing through exhaustion?

 

[00:11:49] Emily Field: And that’s where something powerful happens. You start building confidence through action, not willpower. You collect wins. Even during imperfect weeks, you stop feeling like you’re constantly starting over. This is why process goals work better, especially in midlife. You can control them, you can repeat them.

 

[00:12:07] Emily Field: They can survive stress, travel, and messy weeks. They build trust in yourself over time, and this is the line I want you to remember because it applies far beyond food or fitness process. Goals turn consistency into a byproduct, not a personality trait. You don’t need to be more disciplined. You don’t need to want it more.

 

[00:12:27] Emily Field: You need goals that anchor you to behaviors you can return to again and again, even when life isn’t perfect inside of ETO Lean, we don’t ignore outcomes, but we don’t chase them either. We practice the habits that make outcomes possible, and in doing so, we often end up somewhere better than we once thought we were headed.

 

[00:12:45] Emily Field: This is where I wanna offer you a different question to sit with as you think about the year end. Instead of asking yourself, what do I wanna change next year, which usually sends your brain straight to everything that feels broken or unfinished, try asking a much more useful question. What do I want to practice next year?

 

[00:13:04] Emily Field: That one small shift changes the entire tone of the conversation you’re having with yourself. It moves you out of judgment and into curiosity. It takes you out of overhaul mode and into refinement mode. So I wanna walk you through this like I would with a client, and you can reflect quietly as you listen or come back to this later with a journal.

 

[00:13:24] Emily Field: Start by thinking about this past year, not through the lens of what you didn’t do, but through the lens of what actually worked, even if it wasn’t perfect, what habits showed up more often than they used to? What routines helped you feel grounded instead of depleted? When did you feel strong in your body, capable in your choices or steady in your mindset?

 

[00:13:45] Emily Field: This part can feel uncomfortable at first, especially if you’re used to scanning for what went wrong, but I see this pattern over and over again in coaching. Most women are much closer to their goals than they think they are. They just don’t trust what’s already working. They dismiss progress because it didn’t feel or look dramatic enough.

 

[00:14:03] Emily Field: They overlook habits because they weren’t executed perfectly. They minimize the very behaviors that if practiced more consistently would actually move them forward. This is another core part of the Eat Lean philosophy. We don’t burn down everything at the end of the year. We don’t erase progress because it was messy or inconsistent.

 

[00:14:21] Emily Field: We build forward from what’s already there. Because growth doesn’t come from constantly starting over. It comes from noticing what’s working, choosing it on purpose, and practicing it with a little bit more intention. And once you shift into that mindset goal, setting stops feeling like pressure and starts feeling like direction.

 

[00:14:40] Emily Field: This is the part of the episode I really want you to steal and use because this is exactly how we work through goals inside of Elene. Not by asking, is this goal ambitious enough? But by asking, is this goal actually supportive enough? One of the biggest mindset shifts I see in coaching is when a woman realizes that changing a goal or even letting one go isn’t quitting it’s skill building.

 

[00:15:04] Emily Field: It’s learning how to set goals that work with her life instead of constantly fighting against it. So when someone comes into coaching with a goal, we run it through a simple filter, and I want you to imagine doing this for any goal you’re holding onto right now, whether it’s about food, fitness or your body.

 

[00:15:20] Emily Field: The first question we ask is, can I control this on a daily or weekly basis? This matters more than almost anything else. In health, fitness, and nutrition, many outcomes are influenced by things you can’t fully control. Hormones, stress, sleep, inflammation, life circumstances, but behaviors, those are within your control.

 

[00:15:40] Emily Field: You can’t decide how fast your body loses fat, but you can decide whether you eat balanced meals most days. You can’t control exactly how your weight responds week to week. You can control whether you show up to train or fuel yourself consistently. If a goal lives entirely outside your control, it will eventually turn into pressure or disappointment.

 

[00:16:01] Emily Field: A good goal gives you something you can actually do. The second question is, does this goal fit my current season of life? And I wanna be really clear here, not an idealized season, not the version of you with unlimited time, energy, and motivation. Your real life right now. Your work demands, your family responsibilities, your stress load, your sleep, your hormones.

 

[00:16:23] Emily Field: A lot of women are unknowingly trying to execute goals that would have worked 10 years ago or in a completely different phase of life, and then wondering why everything feels harder. Now, if a goal requires you to ignore your reality, it’s probably not a good goal no matter how healthy it sounds. The third question is, what does imperfect execution look like here?

 

[00:16:44] Emily Field: Because perfection isn’t coming like ever. If a goal falls apart, the moment you miss a workout, you don’t hit your macros or have a chaotic week, it’s too brittle. A supportive goal is one you can return to without shame. Inside of Eat Lean, we talk a lot about patterns over perfection because behavior change only sticks when you can keep going after life inevitably interrupts.

 

[00:17:07] Emily Field: And the fourth question is one that often brings the most clarity. If I did this about 70 to 80% of the time, would it actually move me forward? If the answer is yes, you found a really good goal. A goal that only works if you execute it perfectly is not a supportive goal. It’s a stress generator. A good goal moves you forward even when motivation is low and life is messy.

 

[00:17:33] Emily Field: Now, let show you what this looks like in real life. A woman comes in to eat, to lean with a very specific goal. She tells me she wants to lose X percent of body fat. She had a number, a timeline, and a very clear idea of what she thought success was supposed to look like. But as we started coaching and I asked better questions, it became obvious that the number wasn’t actually the thing that she cared about most.

 

[00:17:56] Emily Field: What she really wanted was to feel strong in her workouts. She wanted the endurance to be a confident, powerful skier. She wanted it to enjoy food again without constantly feeling like she was on a diet. And she wanted structure without restriction, progress, without punishment. And when we put those desires next to the goal of being X percent body fat, they didn’t actually align.

 

[00:18:20] Emily Field: Chasing that number would’ve required chronic dieting and aggressive timelines, the exact opposite of what her body and her life needed. So we changed the goal. Not because she was lowering her standards, but because we were finally aiming at the right thing instead of chasing a body fat percentage, we set process-based goals and left the outcome intentionally open-ended.

 

[00:18:41] Emily Field: Things like what happens if you strength train with progressive overload four times per week for the next four months? What happens if you track macros with about 80% consistency, not perfection for four months? What happens if you fuel your training instead of dieting through it? Those were the goals.

 

[00:19:00] Emily Field: They were controllable. They fit her life. They supported the version of herself. She actually wanted to become. Where she ended up physically, mentally, emotionally, was a place she probably never could have imagined. When she first walked in with that original outcome goal, she was stronger than she’d ever been.

 

[00:19:17] Emily Field: Her endurance improved dramatically. Her relationship with food changed, and yes, her body composition shifted, but it happened as a byproduct, not a pursuit. That’s the beauty of leaving the outcome open-ended. When you stop forcing your body towards a number and start practicing behaviors that support the life you want, the results often end up better than what you originally planned, just different than what you expected, and that’s the core takeaway I want you to hold onto.

 

[00:19:44] Emily Field: A good goal doesn’t demand more from you. It supports you. It works with your physiology, it fits your season of life, and it gives you something you can return to again and again without starting over. One of the reasons outcome goals feel so frustrating is that most people don’t actually know which habits and behaviors lead to the results they’re chasing.

 

[00:20:07] Emily Field: They know what they want, they don’t know what reliably produces it. That’s where coaching becomes incredibly clarifying because when you zoom out and look at hundreds of women over time. Patterns start to emerge, and those patterns are often very different from what diet culture tells us to focus on.

 

[00:20:24] Emily Field: For example, one of the most common shifts I see happens when a woman stops chasing the scale. She doesn’t stop caring about her body. She stops letting the scale number dictate her effort or her mood. She starts lifting consistently, eating enough to support, training, and measuring progress in more than one way.

 

[00:20:43] Emily Field: And almost without fail, that’s when body composition starts to change. Clothes fit differently, muscle shows up, her posture changes, her confidence changes often before the scale ever reflects it. Another pattern I see constantly is consistency with eating women who eat regularly, not perfectly, not rigidly, but consistently.

 

[00:21:05] Emily Field: Become calmer around food craving. Soften decision fatigue decreases the urgency around meals fades. Food stops feeling like something that needs to be controlled and starts feeling like something that supports them. That calm doesn’t come from more rules. It comes from removing chaos. And then there’s strength training and recovery, a combination that’s wildly underestimated.

 

[00:21:29] Emily Field: Women who lift weights consistently and allow themselves to recover, start feeling confident in their bodies long before they see visual changes. They feel capable, strong, grounded. Their identity starts to shift from, I’m trying to change my body to this is a body I can trust. That confidence shows up in how they move, how they eat, and how they talk to themselves.

 

[00:21:53] Emily Field: What’s interesting is that none of these women were the most intense. They weren’t white knuckling their plans. They weren’t doing everything perfectly. They weren’t constantly pushing harder. What they shared instead was a quieter shift. Less urgency, less panic, less all or nothing. Thinking, more trust, more patience, more willingness to stay in the process even when results weren’t immediate.

 

[00:22:16] Emily Field: I come back to this message again and again in coaching, the women who make the most progress aren’t the most intense. They’re the most patient. They understand that the goal isn’t to force an outcome. It’s to practice the behaviors that support it, and when you understand which habits actually move the needle.

 

[00:22:33] Emily Field: Eating consistently, training with intention, recovering well, letting go of constant evaluation. The process stops feeling like a grind and starts feeling purposeful. That’s the power of process goals. They don’t just help you reach an outcome. They teach you how to live in a way that supports it long after the initial goal is met.

 

[00:22:54] Emily Field: Now, let’s get very practical because this is where a lot of well-intentioned goals quietly fall apart. A good goal is not a feeling. It’s not a mindset, it’s not a vague promise to do better. A good goal tells you what you are practicing during the week, especially when motivation is low and life is busy.

 

[00:23:14] Emily Field: So I’m gonna give you a few examples here, and I wanna be explicit about this. These are process goals, and you’re welcome to steal ’em exactly as they are, or use them as a template to create your own. Okay. Instead of saying something like, I want to get stronger, which is a classic outcome goal, or even I wanna deadlift three times my body weight this year, which sounds specific, but is still an outcome, a process goal, zooms in on the habits that actually lead to that result, because wanting strength and practicing strength are two very different things.

 

[00:23:46] Emily Field: A true process goal might sound like I will follow a strength-based program three to four times per week. Track my working weights for compound lifts, and aim to progress at least one lift every one to two weeks. That’s how strength is built, not by declaring a number, but by practicing progressive overload over time.

 

[00:24:05] Emily Field: Or instead of saying, I want better endurance, or I wanna be a stronger skier, a process goal might be I’ll complete two lower body strength sessions per week and one longer conditioning or aerobic session weekly during ski season, while eating enough carbohydrates to support that training. Now, the goal isn’t the outcome, it’s the training behavior and fueling strategy that make endurance possible.

 

[00:24:29] Emily Field: Instead of saying, I wanna get leaner, which is one of the most common and emotionally loaded goals I hear, a process goal might sound like, I’ll eat three meals per day with at least 25 to 35 grams of protein per meal. Log my intake four to five days per week, and lift weights three days per week for the next four months.

 

[00:24:48] Emily Field: That’s a goal that you can actually execute. It tells you exactly what to practice during the week, even when motivation is low or life gets busy. This is why process goals are so powerful. They remove guesswork, they shift your focus to behaviors you can control, and they give you something concrete to return to when things aren’t perfect.

 

[00:25:08] Emily Field: And once again, this is why I encourage you to choose one primary process goal, not because you aren’t capable of more, but because depth beats breath. When you practice the right behavior consistently, the result has room to emerge without being forced. So remember this as you think about your goals. One well chosen process goal practiced imperfectly will take you further than five.

 

[00:25:31] Emily Field: Outcome goals you abandoned by February. That’s not a motivational quote, it’s just how behavior change works. If you’re listening to this episode and thinking, I understand all of this, but I don’t fully trust myself to execute it alone, that thought makes complete sense because knowing what to do and actually doing it consistently in real life are two very different things.

 

[00:25:52] Emily Field: That’s exactly why E two lean exists. For many women, the hardest part isn’t learning what a process goal is. It’s clarifying their real underlying goal in the first place, the one beneath the number, beneath the should, beneath the outcome they’ve been chasing for years. Inside coaching, we slow things down enough to ask better questions.

 

[00:26:12] Emily Field: What do you actually want your body to do? How do you wanna feel in your training, in your daily life? What kind of relationship do you wanna have with food? Because when the goal is misaligned, no amount of discipline will make it stick. The next layer is helping you align your behaviors and actions with that true goal.

 

[00:26:31] Emily Field: This is where a lot of people get stuck on their own. They want strength, but they’re still eating like they’re dieting. They want endurance, but they’re under fueling. They want consistency with, they’re chasing perfection. Inside of Eat to Lean, we help you connect the dots, translating your goal into the habits that actually lead you there based on your body, your life, and your season.

 

[00:26:51] Emily Field: Not someone else’s plan, not a generic template, a strategy that you can actually execute. And then there’s the third piece, the one that matters most once you get started. Support when challenges show up, because they always do. Motivation dips. Life gets busy. Stress spikes, progress stalls, old patterns resurface, and without support, that’s usually when people quit or start over.

 

[00:27:14] Emily Field: Etsu Lean is a place to practice, not perform, to adjust instead of abandon, to reflect instead of spiral, to stay in the work when it’s imperfect. Inside E two Lean, we help you turn process goals into actions You can actually execute week after week. So the outcomes you want become a side effect, not a struggle.

 

[00:27:34] Emily Field: If you’re listening to this thinking, this actually feels like the right time, I want you to know that we are currently onboarding for our next coaching cycle, which starts January 12th. If you’re ready to work with me and my expert team on achieving your big, bold goals in a way that’s supportive, sustainable, and aligned with your life, I’d love to see you apply.

 

[00:27:53] Emily Field: Now you’ll find the application link in the show notes. As we wrap up this episode and this year, I wanna bring everything we talked about back to one simple idea. Most people don’t struggle with change because they lack motivation or discipline. They struggle because they’ve only been taught how to want outcomes, not how to practice the behaviors that lead to them.

 

[00:28:13] Emily Field: When you stop obsessing over results and start choosing process goals, habits, you can repeat even within perfect weeks, something shifts. Progress becomes steadier. Trust builds and consistency stops feeling like a personality trait you either have or don’t. This is what we do inside of Eat to Lean. We don’t chase numbers, we don’t.

 

[00:28:32] Emily Field: White knuckle January. We build forward by practicing behaviors that support your body, your life, and your season. So as you head into the new year, I wanna leave you with one question to sit with. What do you want to practice next year? What do you want to fix? Not what do you want to force, but what are you willing to return to again and again?

 

[00:28:53] Emily Field: That question will take you further than any resolution ever has. Thank you for being here this year for listening, learning, and thinking differently about food fitness in your body. This is the final episode of 2025, and I’m really looking forward to what we’ll build together in the year ahead. I’ll see you in 2026.
