About this episode
You've been setting the bar based on who you think you should be on your best days. And then feeling like a failure every time you show up as a real person having a real day. This episode proposes a different approach — one that sounds counterintuitive but has a remarkable track record.
I make the case for starting smaller than feels significant, protecting the bare minimum, and understanding why the most durable habits are almost always the simplest ones. Not because small is your goal. Because small is what stays when everything else gets difficult. And staying is everything.
This episode is for the woman who keeps setting ambitious health goals, losing momentum, and starting over. The bar is not in the wrong place because you are not capable of more. It is in the wrong place because a bar that breaks your consistency isn't a standard — it's a trap. Let me show you where to put it instead.
