The Metabolism and Menopause Podcast

You Know What to Do—So Why Do You Keep Starting Over? | MMP Ep. 204


Listen Later

Let’s be honest: you know what to do. You’ve read the blogs, watched the reels, maybe even bought the planner.


But somehow… you’re still not following through.


In this episode, we’re getting real about why it’s so hard to be consistent—and how the right kind of accountability can change everything.


👊🏼 Maybe you think you just need more “willpower.”

💔 Maybe you feel like you should be able to do it on your own.

🎯 Or maybe you're stuck in a perfectionist cycle: if you can’t do it perfectly, you don’t do it at all.


We unpack:

🔁 The danger of relying only on motivation and what to do

instead

💡 The difference between self-accountability vs. external accountability (and why you need both!)

🔥 Real talk: what accountability looks like when life feels unhinged

✨ How to build momentum even when you're tired, discouraged, or doubting yourself


If you’ve ever said, “I know what to do—I just don’t do it,” this episode is your wake-up call.


👉🏼 Tune in and find out which kind of accountability YOU actually need right now—and how to build it in a way that feels supportive, not shameful.
