How to Stop Making Excuses And Become Someone Who Does Hard Things May 29, 2025

Show notes

If you feel stuck in a cycle like you’re trying, but progress just isn’t happening fast enough, you’re not alone.
It’s not that you’re not capable. It’s that there are hidden bottlenecks, subconscious beliefs, old habits, and tiny decisions you’re making daily—that are keeping you stuck.
In this episode, I’m sharing a replay from a live event inside the Land of Plants community where we talked about the uncomfortable truth: real progress starts with radical honesty.
We’ll dive into why integrity with yourself matters more than motivation, how to spot the patterns that are silently sabotaging your results, and how asking the hard questions is the key to moving forward.
This is the kind of deep mindset work we do in the coaching program—because when your habits align with who you want to be, change isn’t a fight anymore.

Why You’re Not Making Progress (break the cycle NOW) May 19, 2025

Show notes

If you keep gaining weight, sabotaging your progress, or feeling like you’re on a loop — you’re not lazy or broken.

You’re just making tiny directional choices every day that are steering you somewhere.

In this episode, we talk about how your daily habits are shaping your identity, why you don’t need massive motivation to change, and how to course-correct before the cost of staying the same gets too high.

Let’s dive into some hard hitting truths from CS Lewis and James Clear, and explore the power of identity-based habits, the true cost of inaction, and how to start steering the ship.

One decision at a time.

Show notes

Ever feel like life is just too much? Like you're drowning in emotions, trapped in a whirlwind of inconsistency, and the only thing that sounds remotely manageable… is lying in bed, crying, and eating chocolate?

In this episode, I sat down with one of our amazing one-on-one Lean with Plants coaches, Abbie, to talk about how to manage those intense emotions that derail our progress, routines, sabotage our habits, and make us feel like total failures.

We’re getting real about what it’s like to feel overwhelmed, and more importantly, what to actually do about it.

We’re talking overwhelm. We’re talking sabotage. We’re talking about the real stuff and how to take your power back.

I’ve already started using some of these tools in my own life, and I’m blown away by how simple (and powerful) they are.

If you’re someone who struggles with motivation, emotional highs and lows, or the shame spiral that comes with inconsistency, then this episode if for you!!!

Let’s break the cycle. Let’s get unstuck. Let's go!
