209 Why allowing yourself to be inconsistent might be the best thing you do for yourself this week

“Consistency is key” — or so we’ve been told. Whether it’s sticking a particular number of workouts each, hitting your macros, waking up at 5am to meditate and journal, it’s become the holy grail of health and wellbeing. But what if that relentless push for consistency is actually quietly sabotaging you?

In this episode, we challenge the traditional view of consistency and explore why rigid routines may not be serving you — especially if you’re someone juggling real-life, fluctuating energy, or simply craving more ease. You’ll learn how to redefine consistency on your terms and start creating a way of showing up that works with your life, not against it.

If you’re stuck in the all-or-nothing loop or constantly beating yourself up for “failing” to be consistent, this episode is your invitation to let that go — and finally build the kind of flexibility, trust, and rhythm that actually gets results.

Key Takeaways:

  • Why the traditional definition of consistency may be sabotaging your wellbeing
  • The hidden cost of trying to force a rigid routine (and what to do instead)
  • How to work with your real-life rhythms — hormones, energy, work, chaos and all
  • The difference between short-term perfection and long-term sustainability
  • How redefining consistency can help you feel more successful, motivated, and free

The truth? You don’t need to be perfectly consistent to succeed. You just need to keep showing up — with compassion, honesty, and a willingness to adapt.
