#131: 5 Ways to Stay Consistent Without Pushing Yourself Harder


Listen Later

Episode Description:
If you’ve ever said, “I know what to do, I just can’t seem to stick to it” — this one’s for you.

In this episode, I’m sharing the five gentle-but-powerful shifts that have helped me stay consistent without pushing harder, burning out or beating myself up. 

I’ll show you how to build habits that feel safe in your body (not like another pressure), and how to design your routines around your real life — not some perfect version of it.

We'll explore:
💛 Why consistency often feels hard — and why it’s not your fault
💛 What’s really going on when motivation fizzles (and what to do instead)
💛 Why starting smaller isn’t cheating — it’s neuroscience
💛 How to build identity-based habits that reflect who you are now
💛 The secret power of micro-wins and why they matter so much in midlife

This isn’t about forcing change — it’s about creating conditions where showing up for yourself feels natural again.

It’s about creating rhythms you can return to — even on your hardest days.

Let’s stop measuring consistency by how perfectly we do the thing — and start honouring how often we come back to it. Even gently. Even imperfectly.
