In this episode, Rossie sits down with April Gutierrez, a yoga teacher and small-business bookkeeper who turned her own healing journey into two thriving businesses. April opens up about how yoga found her during a dark season marked by anxiety, depression, and burnout — and how movement, meditation, and mindset practices became the foundation of her transformation.

She also shares how after 20+ years in the finance industry, she took a courageous leap from the security of a full-time job into entrepreneurship — building a bookkeeping business that supports small business owners while continuing to teach yoga with heart, depth, and intentionality.

This conversation is packed with wisdom about healing, self-trust, starting over, and following the quiet nudges that lead to a more aligned life.

In this episode, Rossie talks about how to get back on track when life throws off your routine — whether from a busy summer, travel, or just losing momentum. These simple habits will help you refocus, stay consistent, and finish the year strong.

1. Set a Realistic Goal

Choose a goal you can stick with for the rest of the year. Write it down and keep it visible — it’s more likely to happen when you see it daily.

2. Schedule Your Workouts

Block your workouts like important appointments. Even 2 days a week is better than none — consistency matters most.

3. Move Daily

Aim for at least 30 minutes of movement every day — walk, dance, stretch, or follow a free online workout.

4. Meal Prep for Success

Plan your protein first (25–30g per meal), then add veggies, healthy carbs, and fats. Keep quick, healthy snacks handy.

5. Stay Hydrated

Drink half your body weight in ounces of water daily. Carry a bottle, set reminders, and make it a habit.

6. Prioritize Sleep

Aim for 7–8 hours a night. Keep a routine, and turn off electronics 1–2 hours before bed.

7. Practice Self-Care

Do one thing daily that makes your heart happy — journaling, a walk, a call with a friend — whatever recharges you.

8. Have Grace

If a day doesn’t go as planned, don’t dwell on it. Every day is a fresh start.

9. Follow the 80/20 Rule

Stay on track 80% of the time, and give yourself 20% for flexibility.

Recap: Set a goal, schedule workouts, move daily, meal prep, hydrate, sleep, practice self-care, have grace, and find your balance. Small, consistent actions will set you up for a strong finish to the year.
