One of the biggest challenges face by my audience when it comes to goal setting is unexpected setbacks. Whether it’s a small misstep like eating that cookie, a tough co-parenting situation, or just life’s curveballs, it’s easy to feel discouraged. But here’s the truth: your 100% effort is going to look different every day—and that’s okay.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

Why perfection isn’t the goal and how to embrace progress over perfection.

How to redefine your 100% effort based on your current circumstances.

The power of small actions: why something is always better than nothing.

How to interrupt the “I’ll start again Monday” mindset and take action right now.

Why self-compassion is key to long-term growth and success.

Real-life examples of how to reframe setbacks as part of your journey.

Challenge for the Week:This week, identify one area where you’re holding yourself to an unrealistic standard. Ask yourself: “What is one small and simple step I can take right now to stay aligned with my goals?” Remember, showing up—even imperfectly—is what creates lasting change.
