Episode 102: After I took a poll on Instagram, I realized that almost everyone had one obstacle in common that is keeping them from reaching their goals: consistency. Consistency isn’t about perfection, it’s about putting the puzzle pieces together day after day. In this episode, we break down the key components that have made consistency possible for me: mindset, non negotiables, flexible frameworks, systems, and self-compassion. You’ll learn how each piece plays a role in keeping you on track, why consistency is the secret ingredient behind long-term results, and how to stay steady even when motivation fades. If you’ve ever struggled with staying consistent, this conversation will help you see that the power is in showing up, stacking the small wins, and letting time work in your favor.CONNECT WITH ME:Cookin Up Wellness Ebook: HERE Nite Nectar Restock: HEREInstagram: @Gracie_NortonWellness Her Way Instagram: HEREProduced by Dear MediaSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
