Why Imperfect Consistency Beats Trying to Be Perfect Every Time

Perfectionism has a sneaky way of showing up in fitness, even when your intentions are good. It sounds like needing the perfect plan, the perfect week, or the perfect amount of motivation before you start. And when something doesn't go exactly right, it can feel easier to stop altogether than to keep going imperfectly.

In this episode, I talk about why that mindset keeps so many women stuck, not because they don't care or don't try, but because the pressure to do everything perfectly makes consistency feel impossible.

I walk through what your body actually needs to adapt and change, why repeated effort matters more than flawless execution, and how learning to show up imperfectly is what builds real momentum. This is about releasing the pressure and choosing habits you can return to, even when life feels messy.

Here is what you will learn:

• Why perfect plans usually fall apart in real life
• How all-or-nothing thinking interrupts progress
• What your body actually responds to when it comes to change
• Why repetition matters more than intensity
• How imperfect follow-through builds confidence over time
