The checklist era is over
Description
Warrior woman, welcome back to the mic girl. It's been a hot minute since we hung out, and today I wanna go deep with you on something that's holding so many women back in their health, their training, and their lives: the 'checklist era'.
You know her. The macros. The reps. The Zone 2. The rules. The never-ending to-do list of what to eat, how to train, and when to sleep.
But here’s the truth girl: checklists don’t build bodies. Systems do.
In this EP, I break down what strategy actually means, why it's the missing link in your training and nutrition, and how to build a system that actually fits your life. I talk through the 3 identity shifts you need to make to move from exhausted and stuck to powerful and consistent. And I tell you exactly what I teach inside Warrior School when it comes to becoming a woman who can hold the body and the life she wants.
So grab a coffee, go for a walk, and let’s hang out.
IN THIS EPISODE I BREAK DOWN:
- Why we cling to checklists when we feel overwhelmed, tired, or stuck
- The biggest identity shift I had to make (that changed everything)
- What an elegant strategy actually looks like (hint: it's not a plan)
- The four pillars of every powerful strategy
- How to move from reactive to resilient
- Why doing more isn’t the answer—but holding more is
3 BIG IDENTITY SHIFTS TO BECOME THE WOMAN WHO HOLDS MORE
- From checklists to systems: Becoming the woman who trains with strategy (not just ticking boxes)
- From just showing up to execution: Learning to execute at the level required for the results you want
- From reacting to adapting: Building the skill of pivoting, not pausing, when life gets messy
POWERFUL QUOTES FROM THE EPISODE
- "You don't become a badass by doing more. You become a badass by learning how to hold more."
- "Checklists live in isolation. Systems talk to each other."
- "Everything you've done so far has gotten you here. But becoming her? That’s a whole new identity."
- "Execution is doing the right thing, the right way, at the right time—at the level required for the results you want."
- "If you're still stuck, it's not because you're lazy. It's because no one taught you how to build a system that fits your life."
