456-Consistency Fetish

You've been told consistency is the goal. But what if chasing it is actually what's keeping you stuck?

In this episode, I'm introducing a concept I call the consistency fetish — the belief that being consistent is a moral indicator of your worth. I'm breaking down why women are especially conditioned to chase it, how it mirrors the thin ideal, and what we need to build instead.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• Why consistency has been moralized — and how it mirrors chasing the ideal body size
• The two root causes behind the consistency obsession: gender socialization and the nervous system threat system
• What coaches get wrong when they coach clients toward consistency
• The two skills that actually create long-term sustainable results: behavioral flexibility and return rates
• How to start building nervous system capacity to handle failure without spiraling
