I know what it feels like to start a routine, feel proud… and then one day life happens and everything falls apart. In this episode, I’m breaking down the most common “consistency killers” that make routines hard to stick to—especially for busy working moms. I’ll show you how to redesign your routines so they work in real life, not just in a perfect week. And I’ll walk you through simple, practical fixes you can start using right away so you can stop restarting from scratch.

3 Takeaways from this episode:

Consistency isn’t about “more discipline”—it’s about designing routines that still work when life gets messy.
The smaller your routine, the more likely you are to keep moving (a 10-minute version beats a perfect 90-minute plan).
Your restart plan is part of the routine—pick a reset trigger so you don’t quit when you miss a day.
