EP167 - One bad Week doesn’t mean disaster In today’s solo episode, I’m sharing something real, honest, and very human… because even as a coach, I’m not immune to the wobbles. Over the last couple of weeks, life hectic. I had a crazy work schedule, long days in the office, dinners out every night, no gym sessions, calories all over the place, and - the cherry on top - I missed a podcast episode. Cue Clive (my inner critic) shouting louder than ever: “You’re failing.” “You’re going to get fat again.” “You may as well give up.” “You’re inconsistent.” “You’re a coach - you should be perfect.” Sound familiar? Because for so many of us, one thing goes wrong… then suddenly it feels like everything’s gone wrong. Today’s episode is all about: 🧠 Why we catastrophise when we fall out of routine 🔥 How one wobble can spiral into a week of self-sabotage 🎄 Why Christmas can make this even harder — and how to protect yourself 📋 How to create your own Back to Basics list 🧩 Choosing your non-negotiable when life gets chaotic 🚫 How to catch your “Clive” before he derails you 🟢 The exact steps I used to pull myself out of the spiral 🧘‍♂️ Why rest, water, food planning and self-compassion matter more than perfection 💬 How YOU can approach Christmas without losing control ❤️ The reminder you probably need: You haven’t failed unless you quit This episode is for anyone who’s ever thought: “I’ve blown it.” “What’s the point?” “I’ll just start again in January.” If you’ve ever been there - you are exactly who I recorded this for. 👉 And if you know Christmas is a challenging time and you’d love support, structure and accountability to get through it without that January regret… come join us inside The Rising Warrior.
