    Why You Know What To Do But Can't Do It Consistently - Macro Mindset 23

    If you’ve ever started the week convinced “this time will be different” and then felt everything unravel by mid-week, this episode is for you. I’m talking to you about the gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it consistently—and why that gap does not mean something is wrong with you. In this short, focused episode, I walk you through why willpower isn’t a personality trait and why “just try harder” is not only unhelpful—it’s cruel. Then I give you one small shift that changes how consistency works: instead of chasing perfect outcomes, you start building identity through tiny, repeatable promises. Because small actions create identity, and identity makes follow-through feel more automatic over time. By the end, you’ll choose one tiny identity-based habit you can practise this week—something that takes under two minutes—and you’ll track one thing only: whether you kept the promise to yourself. This is about learning to return to the path again and again, even when life gets messy. Need more help?!

    The Sports Season Survival Guide: When Tracking Meets Tournament Chaos

    The Identity Switch: Stop Trying, Start Becoming - A Busy Mom's Guide to Lasting Change (ep. 1.16)

    What You'll Learn: • How to shift from "trying to change" to "becoming the kind of person" who naturally makes healthy choices • The PEACE framework for creating lasting habits that work with mom-life chaos • Why your relationship with food reflects your relationship with yourself (and how to heal both) Today's Story: Sarah, a mom of twin two-year-olds, went from feeling like she'd "disappeared" after becoming a mother to becoming someone who prioritizes herself in small but powerful ways. Her journey shows you that you can love being a mom AND miss aspects of your pre-mom life—and that modelling self-care teaches your children they matter too. Key Takeaway: "The woman who can adapt to any situation, who can be imperfect and keep going anyway, who can honor all the parts of herself while showing up for her family—she's unstoppable. And that woman? That's who you already are. You just need to start treating yourself that way.💜" Ready to take action?
