How to Effectively (& Appropriately) Gauge Progress | PD Podcast Ep.78

Listen on

Episode notes

We have found that the scale can sometimes do more harm than good, so we have clients that don't weigh themselves. The scale is just ONE tool to gauge progress. Today, we chat about additional ways to measure your progress effectively and their importance in your ability to continue making progress over time.

As always, it is our goal not only to supply you, the listener, with valuable insights on the topics or questions but also to plant some seeds for further research and thought. Without further ado, let's get into today's episode.
