In this episode of the Fueled & Free Podcast, Margaret has an honest conversation about one of the most common questions she hears: “How long is this going to take?” Whether it’s balancing hormones, healing the gut, improving energy, or reaching weight loss goals, many women expect a clear timeline. But the body doesn’t work that way.

Instead, Margaret reframes the process of health and healing — comparing it to learning a new skill that takes time, practice, and patience. She emphasizes why expectations can become one of the biggest obstacles to progress, and how showing up consistently with the right support makes the difference.

This conversation sheds light on why healing is not a quick fix, but a personal journey that requires patience, consistency, and a willingness to embrace the process.
