OVERVIEW:
If you’ve ever felt like you need to be perfect to see results—and when you can’t be, you fall completely off—this episode is for you.
So many women approach their health journey with an all-or-nothing mindset:
100% effort or nothing at all.
Perfect weeks or complete burnout.
Strict plans followed by starting over… again.
In today’s episode, Ashley breaks down why this mindset is one of the biggest reasons women stay stuck, especially after 35—and why consistency at 40% is far more powerful than 100% followed by zero.
You’ll learn how chasing perfection sabotages fat loss, increases stress, and keeps you trapped in a cycle of extremes—and how shifting your mindset can finally unlock sustainable progress.
What We Cover in This Episode:
What the all-or-nothing mindset actually looks like in real life
Why perfection feels productive—but rarely produces results
How “on plan vs off plan” thinking fuels burnout and inconsistency
Why showing up at 40% still counts—and compounds over time
How stress, guilt, and unrealistic expectations impact progress
What consistency really looks like in a busy, full life
How to build momentum without waiting for the “perfect” week
