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.

Let’s talk about something a lot of people get wrong.

Grace is not the same thing as giving yourself a pass. It’s not pretending the slip didn’t happen, and it’s not code for “oh well, I’ll try again tomorrow.”

In this episode, we’re breaking down the critical difference between giving yourself grace and letting yourself off the hook — and why that distinction might be the key to finally building the consistency you’ve been chasing.

I’m sharing personal stories, powerful mindset shifts, and a simple way to move forward when things don’t go as planned — without spiraling, shaming, or slipping into all-or-nothing thinking.

• A practical definition of real grace (and what it’s not)

• How to respond to missed goals without making them mean something about you

• A 3-step process to recalibrate and move forward with purpose

• How to know when you're actually letting yourself off the hook
