Summary

Let’s talk about something a lot of people get wrong.

Grace is not the same thing as giving yourself a pass. It’s not pretending the slip didn’t happen, and it’s not code for “oh well, I’ll try again tomorrow.”

In this episode, we’re breaking down the critical difference between giving yourself grace and letting yourself off the hook — and why that distinction might be the key to finally building the consistency you’ve been chasing.

I’m sharing personal stories, powerful mindset shifts, and a simple way to move forward when things don’t go as planned — without spiraling, shaming, or slipping into all-or-nothing thinking.

🔑 In this episode:

A practical definition of real grace (and what it’s not)
How to respond to missed goals without making them mean something about you
A 3-step process to recalibrate and move forward with purpose
How to know when you're actually letting yourself off the hook
