If you’ve ever felt the rush of motivation, made a plan, invested in a program, said “this time is different,” and then somehow slid right back into old patterns…
you’re not alone.
you’re not alone.
In fact, what you’re experiencing is far more common — and far more human — than you think.
Today I want to walk you through what’s really happening underneath the surface when you “start over” again and again… and how you can finally break the cycle before the New Year even begins.
This is not about discipline.
This is not about willpower.
And it is definitely not about you being weak.
This is not about willpower.
And it is definitely not about you being weak.
Let’s get into it.
The Truth: It’s Not Motivation… It’s Your Nervous System
Most women believe they fail because they’re not motivated enough.
Let’s throw that lie out right now.
Your struggle has nothing to do with motivation or willpower.
It has everything to do with what I call muscle memory of failure — old patterns stored inside your nervous system that automatically pull you back into what feels familiar.

Your brain is wired to keep you safe, not to keep you healthy.
So when you try to make a change, your mind says:
So when you try to make a change, your mind says:
“We’ve done this before. It didn’t work. Let’s protect ourselves by not trying too hard.”
That’s not sabotage.
That’s survival.
That’s survival.
Once you understand that, everything shifts.
Three Hidden Reasons You Keep Falling Off Track
Let’s break down the real reasons your patterns repeat themselves.
1. You don’t have a system — you have a desire.
Desire gets you excited.
Desire gets you to click “buy.”
But desire alone won’t carry you when life gets busy.

But desire alone won’t carry you when life gets busy.
Healing requires structure.
Consistency requires rhythm.
Change requires support.
Consistency requires rhythm.
Change requires support.
That’s why group coaching works so well — it helps your nervous system find stability and routine.
2. You’ve been trying to heal in isolation.
Healing alone is like trying to row upstream with one paddle.
When you’re by yourself:
• you get in your head
• you default to old patterns
• you lose momentum without anyone noticing
• you get in your head

• you lose momentum without anyone noticing
We are not meant to heal alone.
Community is medicine.
Accountability is medicine.
Being seen is medicine.
Community is medicine.
Accountability is medicine.
Being seen is medicine.
This is why group coaching is such a powerful tool — and why it’s becoming a global trend. People change faster together.
3. You haven’t updated your identity.
Identity drives behavior.
You will always act like the person you believe you are.
If you subconsciously believe you are the woman who quits, who fades out, who never finishes…
then your behavior will keep proving that belief true.
then your behavior will keep proving that belief true.
To change your life, you must change your identity — and that begins with awareness.
A Simple 3-Step Pattern Breaker
Here are three steps to start breaking the pattern you’ve been stuck in:
Step 1: Name the trigger.
You cannot change what you won’t name.
Identify what pulls you off track — emotions, people, situations, certain environments, hormones, time of day.
Once you name it, it loses power.

Step 2: Create one small win this week.
Not 10 habits.
Not a complete overhaul.
Not a complete overhaul.
Just one small win.
Five minutes of movement.
A glass of water before coffee.
A commitment to eat sitting down.
Five slow breaths before reacting.

Tiny wins rebuild trust with your body.
Trust creates momentum.

Step 3: Anchor your December identity.
Most people write December off.
But December is actually the most emotionally potent month of the year. This is when your nervous system is already reflecting, evaluating, and craving something new.
January is not magic.
Your identity is.
Your identity is.
Ending the year with intention is FAR more powerful than starting the year with pressure.
Five Free Actions You Can Take Today
These cost nothing.
They only require intention.
They only require intention.
1. The two-minute awareness pause
Once a day, stop what you’re doing and sit in silence for two minutes.
No scrolling.
No noise.
Just awareness.
No scrolling.
No noise.
Just awareness.
Notice when the old pattern shows up.
Awareness alone breaks autopilot.
Awareness alone breaks autopilot.
2. Gratitude instead of guilt
Guilt keeps you stuck.
Gratitude moves you forward.
Gratitude moves you forward.
When you catch yourself beating yourself up, pause and name three things your body did for you today.
Your body needs your partnership, not your punishment.
Your body needs your partnership, not your punishment.
(If you missed last week’s teaching on this, go back to YouTube and watch the Gratitude vs. Guilt replay.)
3. One five-minute promise a day
Pick a five-minute action and follow through.
A walk.
Breathwork.
Stretching.
Filling your water bottle with intention.
A walk.
Breathwork.
Stretching.
Filling your water bottle with intention.
This is how you rebuild trust in yourself.
4. Connect with a human
We are not meant to heal in isolation.
Call a friend.
Text someone.
Say your goals out loud.
Call a friend.
Text someone.
Say your goals out loud.
Accountability is free — and powerful.
5. Change one thing in your environment
Your environment shapes your behavior.
Move the junk food.
Set your supplements by your toothbrush.
Put your walking shoes by the door.
Place your journal on your pillow.
Set your supplements by your toothbrush.
Put your walking shoes by the door.
Place your journal on your pillow.
Small environmental shifts prevent big setbacks.
Why You’re Not Weak — You Were Under-Supported
Let me speak truth here:
You have never been weak.
You have never been broken.
You have simply been under-supported for the level of life you’re living.
You have never been broken.
You have simply been under-supported for the level of life you’re living.
Healing is not supposed to be a solo sport.
Inside my group coaching programs, you get structure, community, accountability, clarity, and a leader (me!) who is walking a few blocks ahead — not miles ahead.
You get a safe space where your nervous system can finally relax long enough to change.
This isn’t a “follow these steps and hope it works” program.
This is:
We do this together. I’m not letting you fall through the cracks.
We do this together. I’m not letting you fall through the cracks.
Your Identity Activation (Do This Now)
Take a moment and imagine the version of you who keeps starting over.
See her.
Feel her frustration, shame, exhaustion, and disappointment.
See her.
Feel her frustration, shame, exhaustion, and disappointment.
Now put your hand on your chest and say:
“I release the version of me who always quits.”
Then ask:
“Who am I choosing to become in December?”
Not January.
December.
December.
Fill in the blank:
“I am becoming the woman who ___.”
“I am becoming the woman who ___.”
Your body will follow your identity.
