Why You Keep Starting Over Every Monday (And What To Do Instead)

Episode Summary

This episode reveals the real psychological reasons people restart their fitness journey every Monday and why the “fresh start” mentality sabotages progress. You’ll learn the mindset shifts and simple behaviour strategies that actually break the cycle.

Episode Notes

Ever wondered why you keep starting over every Monday? In this episode, I break down the real psychology behind the “fresh start” mindset — why it feels good in the moment, why it keeps you stuck long-term, and what actually creates consistency that lasts longer than a week. I share coaching lessons, real client examples, and personal stories about perfectionism, snacking triggers, weekend spirals, and the start-stop cycle so many people fall into.
