Episode 210: The most underrated and overlooked part of behavior change


Listen Later

Kicking off year 5 of The Diet Diaries today!

So many of us create these perfect plans for eating better, exercising more, or making any kind of change. And then life happens. You miss the grocery store, work gets crazy, or your kids need you, and suddenly, your plan goes out the window. Without a backup, it’s easy to fall into the all-or-nothing trap, swinging between doing everything and doing nothing. Sound familiar?

In this episode, I’m sharing:

  • Why a backup plan is the secret to consistency and staying on track long-term.
  • How I work with my clients to identify potential obstacles ahead of time.
  • Real-life examples of backup plans for food (like keeping frozen smoothie ingredients on hand) and workouts (a pre-planned 5-minute session for busy days).
  • Why small efforts, even just “0.01,” add up over time—and how this mindset shift can change everything.


If you’re working on New Year’s resolutions or trying to build healthier habits, this episode will help you feel prepared and confident no even when life gets lifey.
