You train hard. You try to eat well. You stay disciplined. And yet progress slows. Energy drops. Fat loss stalls.
The Redefining Strength Podcast is for women who work hard on their health… but still feel like their body isn’t responding the way it used to.
Hosted by Cori Lefkowith, founder of Redefining Strength, this show helps you understand what’s actually happening inside your body — and what to do about it.
Cori is the creator of the STRONG System, used by over 10,000 women around the world to transform their bodies and build results that last.
Through real coaching insights and conversations with leading experts in women’s health, metabolism, and behavior change...each episode breaks down the science in a way that actually applies to real life.
Because the answer isn’t working harder. It’s learning how to work smarter so your effort finally creates the strength, energy, and confidence you’ve been chasing.
If you’re ready to stop starting over and start building a body you can count on, this podcast will help you get there.

FHP 452 - The Self Control Gas Tank
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
As we go into a New Year, we may be motivated to make some changes - to reach new goals.
But all too often, only a few weeks into the New Year and new habits, we find ourselves completely unmotivated and lacking the “willpower” to maintain some of the habits we’ve created.
Are we just doomed to fail?
Do we just not have the self control or discipline that others have?
Or are we just approaching changes the wrong way?
I think it is key we realize one big thing and then implement these 4 tips to help us see results…
And that big thing we need to realize is that…
SELF CONTROL IS LIKE A GAS TANK!
During the day, there are so many things that happen that can deplete it.
That’s why the more changes we make at once, and the more dramatic those changes, the more they become harder to implement when other things come up and our tank is already on EMPTY.
It’s why we can feel like we just don’t have the willpower of someone else.
Because we are trying to force changes that don’t meet us where we are at and cause the gas tank to have to be full to be maintained.
Since life though so often doesn’t allow for us to maintain a full gas tank all of the time, I wanted to share 4 tips I think can help you make changes that don’t just rely on motivation and self control to sustain….
#1: Understand your current lifestyle - your beastette origin story.
- Where are you truly at currently? Realistic changes mean knowing your current position…and even understanding your pain!
--> LEARN MORE
#2: List your nonnegotiable.
- What are things that you like that the restriction instantly drains you?
#3: Create one small repeatable habit that can fly under the radar.
- What habit will you not even notice you have to do?
#4: Have a reminder of WHY you want this goal and why these changes are worth it to replenish your stores!
- Why does the pain of staying stuck outweigh the pain of change?
By creating changes in this way, we can help ourselves not feel like we need a full gas tank to keep moving forward. We can even find ways to create habits that keep us moving forward when times are tough.
We can even better embrace doing the minimum at times when we know our tank is on E!
