Fast Results vs. Sustainable Change: Living Through the Process whether it's Weight Loss or Job Searching

Quick shout out and a HUGE thank you to everyone who reached out to me about my previous Let’s Be Health Latinas episode where I share my job search experience over the past year.

Many of you shared your own challenges with searching for a job, what has helped you, conversations, connections, encouragement, and even monetary generosity to treat myself.

I am writing about it lightly here, but just know that opening up about this experience, and receiving in different ways, has been VERY triggering for me. There is a lot of reflecting, processing, and healing I’ve had to do around this experience. My therapist reminded me that these lessons were PIVOTAL for me, and they would have never happened if I had already found employment.

It got me thinking about how QUICK we want to get to the finish line. To get what we want ASAP. Cause for me, it relieves a lot of feelings. Feelings that I rather not feel, because they are so strong. Another problem I solved and got to check off my list. Moving on…right?!

Then a friend shared with me how she bought a weight loss program and it turned out to be a BS cookie cutter flop.She told me, “They got me. It's cause we want everything so quick”.

It got me thinking about how important the depth of the lessons are in our journeys. And why it is important to slow down. I made the connection as to why a lot of people yo-yo diet, to find a quick solution to the physical versions of themselves. And how short lived the results are. Plus the frustration and desperation of trying to find the next quick fix that you HOPE will be the solution…forever!

In this episode on Let’s Be Healthy Latinas I reflect on the parallels of my job search and a weight loss/ wellness journey and what they have in common. I share examples of stories I've heard and what would it look like if we slowed down, went a little deeper, and actually decided to learn the lessons along the way.

Reminder! I really LOVE hearing back from you. So like last week, feel free to email, text, DM me back.

And by the way, a few of you asked if I was still coaching. Yes, I am! Others were surprised that I offer one off session. YES, both are true. Feel free to find out more about coaching and one off sessions below.
