Summary
Hey beautiful human!
Fall is here, and with it comes that fresh-start energy. The kids are back in school, the routines are settling in, and you’re probably thinking, “This is it. I’m ready to get back on track.”
But if you’ve ever started September strong, only to feel burnt out and off-track by week two, you’re not alone. The problem isn’t your motivation. It’s the all-at-once approach that so many of us fall into.
In this episode, I’m sharing 6 actually helpful, sustainable ways to get back on track this fall without fizzling out fast.
We’re getting into:
-
Why following a structured workout plan removes excuses and builds momentum
-
How counting macros stops the binge–restrict cycle and fuels real results
-
The power of your “non-negotiable 30” and how to protect it like a promise
-
How to avoid burnout by focusing on one habit at a time (and how to make it stick)
-
How to turn your phone into a tool for accountability instead of distraction
-
Why consistency, not perfection, is what actually transforms your life
If you want this fall to actually feel like a reset that lasts, this episode will help you start strong, stay consistent, and feel good doing it.
