If you’ve ever felt like one “bad” choice ruins the whole day, this one’s for you.

You start strong. You’re “on it.” Then life happens… and suddenly the day is a write-off. But progress isn’t lost in the biscuit or the skipped gym session.
It’s lost in the story that follows.

In this episode, we dig into the psychology behind the all-or-nothing cycle, why perfectionism feels safer than “good enough” and how that mindset quietly keeps you stuck. You’ll learn simple tools to keep momentum going on the messy days, so progress starts to feel easier… not fragile.

Key Takeaways

• The spiral, not the slip-up, is what stalls progress
• Consistency comes from showing up imperfectly
• Your average days matter more than your best day
• Momentum builds when you respond, not restart
