Sun Jan 04 2026
After Christmas or the holidays, so many people feel like they need a “reset” — stricter food, harder training, more discipline. But most resets don’t fail because people aren’t trying hard enough… they fail because they’re built on guilt, extremes, and motivation that doesn’t last.
In this episode, we break down the difference between a reset and a baseline — and why rebuilding simple, repeatable habits is the key to long-term consistency.
You’ll learn:
