  • Episode 269: You Feel Off Every Monday—Are Your Weekend Habits Out of Sync?

    You feel off every Monday.

    Tired, bloated, overwhelmed—like you’ve gone too far again, and now you’re starting over.

    In this episode, we’re slowing things right down. We’ll look at what’s really going on with your weekend habits—not from a place of shame, but from curiosity. If you’ve been stuck in that “I’ll start fresh Monday” loop, this is a chance to step back and get honest.

    Because this isn’t about willpower—it’s about alignment, awareness, and figuring out what you actually need.

    Tune in to learn:

    ✔️ Why you might be clinging to habits that no longer serve you
    ✔️ What the constant “starting again” is costing your energy and mindset
    ✔️ How to start building a calmer, more sustainable rhythm—without rules or guilt
