    The Streak Is Ending (And Why That’s a Good Thing)

    Last January, I set a simple- but uncomfortable- goal: walk outside every single day for the month. Not for more steps. Not for better fitness results. But because I had gotten a little too comfortable staying inside. Michigan winters don’t exactly make that easy. Below-zero wind chills, travel days, tight schedules- it took grit. But I did it. Every day. And then… I kept going. What started as a 30-day challenge quietly turned into a habit. Then an identity. And eventually- a 365-day streak. In this episode, I’m reflecting on my year of outdoor walks: • The brutally cold days • The travel days that required creativity • The almost-midnight walks to “save the streak” • And the moments that made it all worth it- sunrises, fall evenings, quiet woods, walk-and-talks, and miles with my dog and my family But I’m also sharing something important: why I’m intentionally letting the streak end. Because even healthy habits can become unhealthy when they turn rigid. Because “all-or-nothing” thinking doesn’t just show up in dieting- it shows up in fitness, routines, and goals, too. And because real, sustainable behavior change requires flexibility-not perfection. If you’re heading into a new year thinking about habits, consistency, or becoming “a different version of yourself,” this episode will help you rethink what success actually looks like- and how identity is built over time. This one isn’t about walking. It’s about who you become when you show up- imperfectly, consistently, and on purpose.
