In this episode, we’re talking about why staying consistent feels so hard — especially when you’re over 40 and trying to lose weight, feel better, and build healthy habits that actually last. We’ll go over why motivation fades, why life gets in the way, and the real reasons you get stuck in that start-stop cycle. You’ll learn the small shifts that make consistency feel doable, not overwhelming, and how to build routines that fit your real life.
