79. You Don’t Suck at Consistency—It's Your Expectations That Suck!
Wed Feb 04 2026
In this episode, Jess challenges the belief that you “suck at being consistent” and offers a more compassionate, realistic take on fitness and nutrition habits.
She breaks down why perfectionist expectations—like working out 5x/week, hitting 10,000 steps daily, or cutting out carbs and sugar—often backfire, and how to set goals that actually fit your life. You’ll learn what consistency really means, how to build self-trust with small habits, and why your “bounce-back rate” matters more than never messing up.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why unrealistic fitness and nutrition standards sabotage consistencyHow often you actually need to work out to see resultsWhy walking and low-intensity movement are underratedHow to build self-trust with small, realistic habitsWhat a “bounce-back rate” is and how to strengthen it
If you’ve been stuck in all-or-nothing thinking or feeling guilty for not being perfect, this episode will help you reset your expectations and create sustainable routines that last.
