What You'll Learn:• How to shift from "trying to change" to "becoming the kind of person" who naturally makes healthy choices• The PEACE framework for creating lasting habits that work with mom-life chaos• Why your relationship with food reflects your relationship with yourself (and how to heal both)Today's Story:Sarah, a mom of twin two-year-olds, went from feeling like she'd "disappeared" after becoming a mother to becoming someone who prioritizes herself in small but powerful ways. Her journey shows you that you can love being a mom AND miss aspects of your pre-mom life—and that modelling self-care teaches your children they matter too.Key Takeaway:"The woman who can adapt to any situation, who can be imperfect and keep going anyway, who can honor all the parts of herself while showing up for her family—she's unstoppable. And that woman? That's who you already are. You just need to start treating yourself that way.💜"Ready to take action?

When it goes off, take 10 minutes to pre-log tomorrow's meals in Macro Sync. That's it. No perfection required.Did something resonate with you today?

If you've ever felt like you're "just someone who never has time for anything," I need you to know something: you're not broken, and you don't need a complete life overhaul. What if I told you that 30 seconds—literally 30 seconds—could shift you from feeling time-starved to feeling resourceful? Amy discovered this, and her story is going to show you exactly how tiny changes create massive transformation. 💜What You'll Learn:• How to shift from "I don't have time" to "I find tiny pockets of possibility" with micro-habits that actually stick• The Behaviour Change Blueprint—a 4-step framework that turns psychology into practical action• Why identity-based habits work better than willpower (and how to use them starting today)Today's Story:Amy, a mom of twin 4-year-olds working part-time from home, went from feeling "bone-deep tired" and completely lost to becoming "the strongest she's ever been" by starting with wall push-ups while her coffee heated up. Her journey shows you that transformation isn't about finding more time—it's about seeing yourself differently in the time you already have.Key Takeaway:"You're not trying to force yourself to do things that feel foreign. You're just being who you are. When you tie behaviours to identity, you stop fighting against yourself and start living into who you're becoming."Ready to take action?

In this episode, Coach Catharine tackles the common habit of repeatedly "starting over" with health and fitness goals. She explains why the constant cycle of restarting every Monday, after vacations, or following "off-plan" moments actually hinders long-term progress and offers a more sustainable approach.KEY CONCEPTS• The restart cycle keeps us stuck in a pattern of perfection or abandonment• Progress comes from learning and adjusting, not from perfect execution• Small, consistent adjustments create more sustainable change than periodic fresh starts• Identity-based motivation is more powerful than outcome-based goalsPRACTICAL TAKEAWAYSReplace "starting over" with "next best step"Create a Minimum Viable Plan (MVP) for challenging timesUse the WOOP method (Wish, Outcome, Obstacle, Plan) to navigate challengesPractice daily reflection instead of weekly restartsACTIONABLE TIPS• Track restart triggers for three days to identify patterns• Focus on identity ("I'm becoming someone who...") rather than outcomes• Make small adjustments instead of complete overhauls• Celebrate learning moments, even uncomfortable onesBOTTOM LINEBreaking free from the restart cycle isn't about finding the perfect plan—it's about building consistency through small adjustments, learning from experiences, and maintaining momentum even when things don't go as planned.NEXT EPISODETune in next week for a deep dive into emotional eating, including the science behind it and practical strategies for navigation.NEXT EPISODE PREVIEW:Topic: Breaking the hold of emotional eatingFocus: Science behind emotional eating and practical strategies  RESOURCES FROM THIS EPISODE:Mindset Reset Toolkit [link]CONNECT WITH CATHARINE:All Things Catharine  Instagram:  @catharineadamsREADY FOR TRANSFORMATION?Work with our teamMacros Inc Free Macro CalculatorMacros Inc FB CommunityMacro Sync Tracking App📱 SHARE THE EPISODELoved this episode?
