Whether you're a health novice or a seasoned pro frustrated with plateaus, I've got mindset shifts that can transform your wellbeing. Two main areas that act as barriers to achieving results or creating healthy changes we can sustain are around consistency and volume of change we introduce. So this episode is a deep dive into those two key beliefs: consistency over intensity and mastering one habit at a time. 

Actionable steps with included examples to help you look into any of your unhelpful thoughts of patterns. Listen now to ditch the perfectionism and overwhelm, and embrace a sustainable, intentional approach to healthy living as you age.
