Picture this: You're sitting on your couch in pajamas, congested from being sick, knowing you should feel motivated to jump back into your routine but instead feeling that familiar Sunday resistance creeping in. Even when you love your job, your life, and everything you've built, the Sunday scaries can still hit hard—especially during summer when you're constantly shifting between fun weekends and structured weekdays.
In this episode we dive into:
• Why the Sunday scaries affect everyone (yes, even people who love their routines)
• The 5-step reset strategy that gets you back on track without the all-or-nothing mentality
• How to navigate summer flexibility without derailing your progress
• Why taking a pause doesn't undo all your hard work
The Gray Zone Reality
• That weird in-between feeling when you've been off routine and need to restart
• Why summer makes the Sunday scaries even more intense with constant schedule shifts
• The guilt that comes with wanting to rest when you "should" be productive
• How even fitness coaches struggle with the pressure to bounce back immediately
The 5-Step Summer Reset
• Find just one anchor instead of overhauling your entire week
• Zoom in on the next 2-3 days rather than planning the whole week ahead
• Brain dump instead of panic—get those swirling thoughts out of your head
• Give yourself permission to take a pause without shame or guilt
The Maintenance Mindset
• Why expecting the scale to drop during peak summer isn't realistic
• How to give yourself credit for maintaining your weight through social season
• The difference between flexibility and throwing everything out the window
• Why your past consistency gives you permission to be more flexible now
This conversation reminds us that progress isn't about perfection—it's about showing up one day at a time, even when your rhythm feels off. Whether you're coming off a holiday weekend feeling blah or struggling to get back into routine after travel, this episode offers the practical permission to reset without the drama of starting over.
