Episode 204: Why you aren't making progress


Listen Later

In this episode, I’m talking about one of my favorite concepts: the often overlooked value of small, consistent actions—and how this connects back to your struggle with the all or nothing mindset around food. 

We’ll dive into why consistently doing the smallest possible thing can have a much bigger impact than trying to do the giant changes with quick, dramatic results.  

Here’s a sneak peek at what’s inside this episode:

  • My favorite analogy to show why even a 0.01% effort counts—and why doing nothing just keeps you stuck.
  • How to swap the “Why bother?” mindset for “What’s one small thing I can do right now?”
  • Real-life examples to help you make small, manageable changes around food, movement, and even self-talk.
  • Why trying to change everything at once usually backfires—and how to pick one simple thing to focus on.


If you’re tired of feeling like you have to do it all to see results, this episode is for you. Let’s break down those big, overwhelming goals and find small, doable steps that actually add up.

And it’s not too late to join Photo Freedom! My holiday gift to you: stop obsessing over how you look in photos and letting a “bad” picture send you into an emotional spiral. Click here.
