Why do we instinctively jump to a five-day cleanse or punishment workout after one “off” day? They explore the physical and psychological reactions behind this pattern, debunk the myth that you can gain fat overnight, and offer practical reframes to stay on track. This conversation is packed with clear logic (hello, calorie maths!), protein truths, and permission to stop catastrophising. Whether it’s Easter chocolate or a Friday night pizza, Mikki and Jess remind us that it’s what you do most of the time that matters. Real talk, real strategies—and real protein shakes.

But the real heart of the conversation centres on the deceptively simple question: "I'm doing my best—why isn’t it working?" Mikki and Jess unpack what “doing your best” actually looks like when it comes to health and fitness goals. They explore the importance of clarity, honesty, and having a game plan—whether that means tracking food, taking small consistent action steps, or re-evaluating what’s really holding you back. Expect a blend of humour, practical wisdom, and encouragement to take ownership—without the overwhelm.
