## Resource

Perfectionism is not a high standard. It is a trap. And in midlife, it is one of the single greatest barriers to the health and the life you actually want. The women who make the most consistent health progress aren't the ones with perfect days — they're the ones who are very good at recovering from imperfect ones. Courtney breaks down the psychology behind the 'what-the-hell effect' and introduces the minimum viable day strategy that keeps you in the game when life inevitably gets hard.
