If you’re heading into January thinking you need better routines, better time blocking, or more discipline—this episode will change the conversation.

Because the real issue isn’t time.
It’s energy.

In this episode, you’ll learn how protecting your mental, emotional, and physical energy is the missing link to easier follow-through, steadier eating, and less burnout—and how one simple phrase, “No, thank you,” can become one of your most powerful self-regulation tools.

This episode will feel like a deep exhale.

✨ What You’ll Get from Listening

After this episode, you’ll understand:

• Why time management fails when your energy is depleted
• How low energy—not lack of willpower—drives overeating and procrastination
• The four types of energy that quietly determine how your days (and nights) go
• Why people-pleasing directly drains the energy you need for self-control
• How saying “No, thank you” protects your capacity without guilt or conflict
• Why boundaries improve eating habits, mood, and consistency—backed by behavioral science

🧠 Why This Works

You’ll learn how boundary-setting:

• Reduces decision fatigue and emotional overwhelm
• Preserves self-regulation (the resource you need for intentional eating)
• Increases agency, self-trust, and follow-through
• Prevents burnout-driven nighttime overeating

In short:
When your energy is protected, everything feels easier.

📘 Planning with Energy (Not Pressure)

You’ll also hear how this concept reshaped the Time Management 101 and Weekly Planning pages in the 2026 Follow-Through Planner, so your planner supports your real life instead of demanding more from you.

🧩 This Week’s Simple Challenge

You’ll leave with a clear, doable challenge to:

• Remove one unnecessary energy drain
• Protect one recovery moment
• Practice “No, thank you” once—on purpose
• Feel the difference immediately

🎧 Listen now and give yourself a calmer, more supported start to January.

🎧 What You’ll Learn in today's episode:

If you’re tired of setting goals you want to follow through on but never quite do — this episode is going to change everything.
You’ll learn why your follow-through issues aren’t personal flaws… they’re design flaws. And you’ll walk away knowing exactly how to set goals your nervous system can actually execute.

Most women blame themselves when they can’t stick to big, exciting goals.
But the truth? Aspirational goals trigger pressure, overeating, and self-judgment because they ignore your emotional bandwidth.

You’ll learn:

• How to spot goals that are secretly unsustainable
• The ONE weight-loss target that keeps progress steady
• Why your emotional state determines whether a goal gets done

👉 This is how you finally stop breaking promises to yourself.

Perfection isn’t the answer — relief is.
You’ll hear how planned overeats, mindfulness, and realistic weekly targets keep you consistent without the mental gymnastics.

👉 Weight loss gets easier when you stop fighting your biology.

Meet your new superpower: implementation intentions.
This research-backed technique helps you bypass overwhelm and stick to your goals even on stressful days.

You’ll learn:

• The “If X happens, then I will do Y” formula
• Real examples you can steal today
• How to stay in motion even when you feel off

👉 This is how motivation stops mattering.

• Pick one doable goal you’re 90% sure you’ll hit
• Write your implementation intentions
• Log overeats without drama
• Translate your goals into tiny daily steps
