Summary

Lose Fat With My Clubhouse App HERE https://theclubhouse1.lpages.co/erfclubhouse-app-info/ In this episode, Sophie and I break down why planning matters more than motivation—and why so many people avoid it. We get practical with real-life scenarios, from fitting in workouts as a busy professional to hitting protein goals as a parent, getting daily steps with an office job, and even improving sleep. By the end, you’ll see that motivation isn’t the problem—your lack of a plan is.

0:05.2	Hope you're having a great day thus far. And we are back with the best episode of the week.
0:11.6	We got co-host Sophie here, who's going to carry the show as always. What's going on, Sof?
0:17.0	Hello. What is going on with you?
0:19.1	Nothing much. Everything's great.
0:38.3	Everything's wonderful. Yep. I was so... Go ahead. I was just going to ask how's the sleep going. Sleep is going great still. I got like nine hours last night. So, you know, just rocking and rolling. I had like three hours of REM sleep, an hour and a half of deep sleep. So we're rocking, yeah.
0:39.5	I love that. I've been sleeping like shit. I don't know what's going on. It is what it is. Just like I've been waking up a lot. I don't know why. Yeah. Yeah. Are you waking up like going pee? Are you waking up just like, just like waking up all the time? Sometimes it's to go pee or sometimes I just wake up.
0:55.3	Like it's weird.
0:56.2	But I don wake up.

Totally. So it can happen in places or even with people that you don't necessarily know. Yeah. The same thing happens to me. So anytime I travel, I know for a fact, there's going to be two nights where I just
1:46.3	like cannot sleep.
1:47.7	Mm-hmm.
1:48.3	Yeah.
1:49.4	Well, I'm never, I'm never sleeping with people I don't know.
1:52.0	So if there's something you want to share with us on the pod today?
