Michelle Segar
Plans for a long run can collapse when life intervenes, but a shorter workout or kitchen dance may still count. Michelle Segar explores why perfection can derail healthy eating and exercise, how mindset and executive function shape decisions, and why rigid habit loops may struggle with real-life disruptions. Plus, music brings a little joy to the conversation.
