One week into the New Year—how are you feeling? [6 tips I swear by]


Hey Reader,

I can’t believe it’s already been a full week since the New Year started.

That first “fresh start” energy is still there…
But now reality is setting in.

You’ve probably already noticed:

  • Life didn’t magically slow down
  • Stress didn’t disappear
  • Motivation didn’t stay sky-high every day

And that’s exactly where most people go wrong.

They think something’s wrong with them.

But the truth?

Nothing is wrong with you.
You just haven’t been given a real structure—one that works in real life.

After coaching women for over a decade (especially women over 40), here’s what I know for sure:

Consistency doesn’t come from motivation.
It comes from habits, clarity, and support.

So instead of piling on more rules this year, I want you to focus on these six things—the ones that actually make results stick:


1. Drop the All-or-Nothing Mindset

Perfection is not the goal. Progress is.

One missed workout doesn’t erase your efforts.
One indulgent meal doesn’t “ruin” your week.

The women who succeed don’t do everything perfectly—they do something consistently.


2. Eat in a Way Your Body Can Sustain

If you hate the plan, you won’t follow it.

Healthy eating isn’t about restriction—it’s about finding foods that fuel you, satisfy you, and fit your life.

This year isn’t about eating less.
It’s about eating better.


3. Choose Movement You Don’t Dread

You don’t need to punish your body to change it.

You need workouts that feel doable, effective, and aligned with your goals.

Enjoyment creates consistency.
Consistency creates results.


4. Focus on Progress—Not Perfection

Every win counts.

More protein at breakfast? Win.
A walk instead of skipping movement? Win.
Showing up when it wasn’t perfect? Huge win.

Momentum builds quietly—until one day it clicks.


5. Have a Plan (This Changes Everything)

Winging it works… until it doesn’t.

When you know what you’re doing and why, you remove decision fatigue, overwhelm, and excuses.

The same goes for meals, workouts, and weekly routines.

Clarity = confidence.


6. Stop Waiting for Motivation

Motivation comes after action—not before it.

The days you don’t feel like doing it?
Those are the days your habits matter most.

This is where support makes the difference.


If this year you want something different—
Not another restart…
Not another crash plan…
But a structure that actually fits your life—

I’d love to help.

Hey Reader, Let’s reset something real quick. You don’t need: A perfect routine A flawless meal plan A full hour workout Or an all-or-nothing mindset You need one solid next step. That’s it. Because progress doesn’t come from big declarations — it comes from repeated follow-through on small decisions. Here’s what that might look like today: A 10-minute walk Drinking a full glass of water before coffee One protein-focused meal A short strength session instead of skipping entirely Going to bed...

Hey Reader, Most people don’t quit because they’re incapable or because they expect it to be easy. They quit because they they don't realize just how hard it is going to be. And when it is? They assume something’s wrong. The truth is… The beginning is really hard That discomfort is part of the process.… And it does get easier. But NOT if you keep quitting! The days you don’t feel motivated. The workouts that feel harder than expected. The moments where old habits tap you on the shoulder....

Hello Reader, There’s a lot of noise right now about doing everything right in January. New routines.New rules.New pressure. But the women who actually feel good by the end of January don’t do more. They anchor one small decision… and repeat it. Here’s what I mean: • A 10-minute walk after dinner• One strength-focused workout instead of five random ones• Drinking water before coffee• Protein at breakfast• A plank, even when motivation is low Small doesn’t mean ineffective.Small means...
