The Claire O'Sullivan Podcast

If fat loss feels harder than it should, this episode might change how you see the whole process. In this episode, we’re breaking down why fat loss success has far less to do with motivation or willpower and far more to do with the environment you’re living in every day.

In this episode, I reflect honestly on the beliefs I held - and how real-life coaching completely changed my perspective.

From thinking that knowledge alone leads to action, to believing exercise was the main driver of weight loss, this episode dives into the lessons I’ve learned about behaviour change, consistency, pain, motivation, and sustainable fat loss.

This isn’t about being wrong - it’s about growth, nuance, and understanding real humans living real lives.

If you’ve ever felt like you “know what to do” but still struggle to follow through, this episode will resonate deeply.
