Have you ever found yourself starting the year with big health goals, only to feel like you’ve fallen short by February? What if I told you the problem isn’t a lack of willpower or discipline, but a critical mistake almost everyone makes when trying to overhaul their health?

In this episode, I’ll reveal the key reason traditional health plans don’t work and share a completely different, counterintuitive approach that could transform the way you think about your health goals—no more exhausting cycles of starting over.

I’ll dive into what I call the “River of Misery,” that emotional space where trying to maintain new habits feels overwhelming and tempting you to give up. You’ll hear about Claire, a client of mine, who struggled with all-or-nothing expectations and learned how to create a realistic plan that could bend without breaking. I’ll also introduce you to the concept of “B Minus Habits”—a sustainable way to make progress without the pressure of perfection.

If you’ve ever said, “I know what I should be doing, but I just can’t get myself to do it,” this episode is for you. I’ll explain why knowing isn’t enough, how to set achievable goals that work in real life (not just on paper), and why having a coach can make all the difference. I’ll also share how breaking free from perfectionism isn’t just about you—it’s about the legacy you leave for the next generation.

So, are you ready to stop starting over and start building habits that stick? Tune in to learn how you can embrace small, realistic changes to create lasting health transformations—even when life gets messy.
