Let’s be real—how many times have you felt like you were “starting over” with your fitness, your consistency, or your goals?
In this episode, I’m flipping that story. Because here’s the truth: you’re not starting over. You’re building on everything you’ve already done. You’ve got muscle memory, momentum, and lessons learned—and those things don’t just disappear.
This one’s part pep talk, part strategy session, and all heart. I’m sharing exactly what to do when you feel stuck or frustrated, why perfection is not the goal (in fact, it’s a trap), and the small but powerful actions that make all the difference.
If you’ve ever thought, “Ugh, I’ve been here before…” this episode is your reminder that every time you start again, you’re actually further ahead than you think.

💡 HERE ARE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:
1️⃣ You’re Not Starting Over—You’re Starting With a Foundation
Every time you come back to a goal, your body, brain, and habits remember. You’re further ahead than you were the first time, even if it doesn’t feel like it yet.
2️⃣ Perfection is Just an Excuse in a Fancy Outfit
We wait to get it right, to be ready, to feel motivated. But those are all just ways to avoid action. Progress doesn’t need perfect. It needs presence.
3️⃣ Small Wins Deserve Big Celebrations
Stepping up one stair after an injury might feel small—but it’s not. The more you celebrate every goal (big or tiny), the more likely you are to keep going.
