Do you ever feel like you're constantly starting over in your fitness journey?
Many of us struggle with the frustration of setbacks and the mental challenge of beginning again, especially when life gets in the way of our wellness routines.
In this episode, you'll learn how to embrace the beginner's mindset, practice self-compassion during setbacks, and find motivation in small, consistent actions rather than focusing solely on end goals.
