This week, I am helping you to understand how to push through plateaus, what to do when your results are stalling, and how to regain consistency after setbacks.

As the pressure mounts towards the end of the year and motivation wanes, I will tackle actions versus expectations, the impact of stress, and the importance of realistic timelines. Join me as I unpack how to align your actions with your goals and why it’s crucial to manage expectations.

Plus, tune in for insights on navigating social norms, maintaining consistency, and the power of community support. Let’s push through together and finish the year strong.
