Summary
Episode 8 of The Consistency Club Podcast is all about the “fresh start” trap and why constantly restarting might be the thing holding you back more than missed runs, bad meals or imperfect weeks ever could. Adam talks about all-or-nothing thinking, perfectionism and the emotional side of setbacks, explaining why so many people believe they’re failing when in reality they’re simply experiencing normal life. Using personal experiences, coaching stories and relatable analogies, this episode covers: Why people constantly feel like they need to “start again” The problem with all-or-nothing thinking Why perfectionism often destroys consistency How social media creates unrealistic expectations Why missing one run or having one bad meal means very little The importance of momentum over motivation How shame keeps people stuck Why flexibility matters more than perfection The difference between setbacks and stopping completely Why focusing on the next good decision changes everything This episode is a reminder that progress rarely comes from perfect weeks. It usually comes from imperfect weeks where you continue anyway.
