Did you know that most people give up on their New Year’s resolutions by January 10th—a day known as Quitter’s Day? In this episode of Food Freedom for Fempreneurs, Lia Pinelli breaks down why so many well-intentioned health goals fail and how you can set yourself up for lasting success.

Lia shares the four biggest reasons why people abandon their goals:

✔️ Setting goals that are too big or unsustainable

✔️ Not finding pleasure in the process

✔️ Ignoring the root thoughts and feelings driving behavior

✔️ Failing to make a clear, full commitment to change

She explains why creating sustainable, enjoyable habits and shifting your mindset are the keys to long-term success—especially when it comes to food and sugar. Plus, Lia highlights the power of community support, comparing the process of changing eating habits to learning a new language.

If you're ready to break free from the cycle of quitting and achieve real food freedom, this episode is a must-listen!
