Is AI your new accountability partner… or just another shiny distraction?

In this episode, I’m sharing a real, nuanced conversation about the rise of AI tools—how they can support your goals, where they fall short, and why none of it matters if you’re still skipping the root work.

I use AI. I love it. It’s smart, fast, and powerful. But I’m seeing more and more people treat it like a replacement for coaching, for community, for consistency—and that’s where things get dangerous.

🔑 We talk about:

• What AI can help you with (meal plans, workouts, motivation…)

• Where it completely fails you (especially on your hard days)

• Why self-awareness still beats strategy every time

• The truth about “on/off” behavior loops and how AI can make them worse

• A story about a client who had all the tools—and was still stuck

Because here’s the truth:
You don’t need more information.
You need to become the person who actually follows through.

🧠 This episode will help you:

• Use AI without outsourcing your self-leadership

• Spot the patterns that keep you stuck (and call them out)

• Finally understand why your problem isn’t about the plan—it’s about the practice

🎯 And if you’re tired of ghosting your goals and calling it “life happens”…
This is exactly why I created The Consistency Course. It’s time to stop starting over. Let’s build the skill together.
