    In this episode of The Abundance Effect, Larisa Makuch breaks down what’s really missing when life feels disjointed—and why the answer isn’t doing more. It’s rhythm. Because when your life isn’t supported by a rhythm, everything requires more effort than it should. You’re constantly switching gears, making decisions, and trying to catch up. And over time… that creates friction. In This Episode • Why your week can feel “off” even when nothing is wrong• The hidden cost of living without structure or rhythm• The neuroscience behind decision fatigue and cognitive load• Why high achievers burn out trying to stay in “go mode”• How to create a weekly rhythm that supports your life• The power of clustering, theming, and anchoring your time• Why rhythm creates flow, clarity, and better execution What You’ll Learn You don’t need a better plan. You need something that holds your week together. Because everything in life operates in rhythm—your energy, your focus, your results. And when you start working with that…things finally begin to flow.

    S1 E19 How to Build Confidence Through Consistency (Why You Keep Starting and Stopping)

    Why do you keep starting strong… and then falling off? Not completely.Just enough to know you didn’t follow through. In this episode of The Abundance Effect, Larisa Makuch breaks down why inconsistency is draining your confidence—and what’s actually happening beneath the surface. Because confidence isn’t something you think your way into. It’s something you build through evidence. Through follow-through. Through doing what you said you would do—consistently. If you’ve ever felt the gap between your intentions and your results, this episode will help you understand why… and how to rebuild self-trust, discipline, and confidence in a way that actually sticks. In This Episode: • Why confidence is built through evidence, not mindset alone• How inconsistency erodes self-trust and identity• The neuroscience behind habits and repeated behavior• Why “starting strong then fading” is the real problem• How small, consistent actions rebuild confidence• A powerful question to close the gap between intention and action• A simple structure to create lasting follow-through Powerful Reflection Question If you take one thing from this episode, let it be this: “If I already had the result I want… what would I be doing or not doing differently from what I’m doing now?” List it out. Then pick one thing and follow through—fully. Because confidence isn’t built through intention.It’s built through evidence. 📞 Book a call with Larisa: https://go.myabundanceacademy.ca/meetandgreet-calendars 🔗 Connect with Larisa: LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/larisa-makuch/ Instagram https://www.instagram.com/myabundanceacademy/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/larisa.makuch Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/unleashyourabundancenow Website https://myabundanceacademy.ca/ For topic suggestions email bookings@myabundanceacademy.ca
