This week, I didn’t hit the gym like I planned — but I did show up for myself in other ways: more walking, less snoozing, better meal prep, and being honest about my setbacks. I’m learning that healing doesn’t always look like progress on paper. Sometimes, it’s just not giving up when it gets hard. In this episode, I talk about the power of specific goals, confronting the voices in my head, and learning to fight for the version of me I know I deserve to become.
Progress isn’t perfection — it’s redirection.
