Ever wondered why you keep starting over every Monday? In this episode, I break down the real psychology behind the “fresh start” mindset — why it feels good in the moment, why it keeps you stuck long-term, and what actually creates consistency that lasts longer than a week. I share coaching lessons, real client examples, and personal stories about perfectionism, snacking triggers, weekend spirals, and the start-stop cycle so many people fall into.
