177. Stop Quitting on Yourself: Why Your Consistency is More Powerful Than Your Program
Jan 11, 2026
Have you ever caught yourself saying “nothing works for me”? If so, you’re NOT alone!
I recently had a call with a new client that turned into a major lightbulb moment - not just for her, but me, too!
One of the biggest hurdles that happens with your fitness journey is CONSISTENCY. While you’ve probably tried all the diets and programs under the sun by now, have you *actually* tried staying consistent with a REAL lifestyle change??
Most of us skip over the basics like eating more protein, lifting weights, walking regularly, and even getting more sleep. Yep - the boring, ‘unsexy’ stuff no one online wants to talk about, but actually works!
Fitness really isn’t that complicated, but…you’ve got to CONSISTENTLY show up for yourself (even when it feels like nothing is changing). This is where the magic *really* happens, because it’s in YOU and your habits - not another fancy gadget, program, or supplement!
I say all of this with LOVE, because I need you to believe in yourself. I hope this episode reminds you to stop quitting, and start showing up for yourself, consistently. You ARE worth it!!
Episode Recap:
- What you’re actually staying consistent with + why this is keeping you from seeing lasting results
- Why you need to stop chasing ‘shiny objects’ & master the basics in your life
- Realizing the magic is actually in YOU (not another program or supplement)
- Taking a hard look at the habits that got you where you are today + choosing to do the slower, ‘unsexy’ work that *really* works
