I'm a little embarrassed by this...🥴


Recovering perfectionist here, telling you that the lesson this week is, do it messy. Do it scared. Just fucking do it.

Stop waiting. Stop sitting there researching, looking up more recipes and meal plans, and habit change help. You already have all the knowledge you need to show up and start making a change.

Sure, maybe it’s not everything you will need to get to the life and body and health of your dreams. But you do not have to know everything right off the bat. I promise.

I know you might think you do. But that is exactly what is holding you back. You might think that it has to be perfect or fit into your life in a certain way. But if you wait for the perfect time or perfect moment - then you’ll never make any progress.

This is exactly why I get so frustrated with people who don’t want to start making a change in their health till after the holidays. THERE WILL ALWAYS BE MORE HOLIDAYS.

And yes, that’s me yelling at you.

Why am I so worked up about this today?

Because I realized I’ve been doing the exact same thing with my upcoming course. I want it to be perfect and have all the best material and information, and behavior change tools for you. I want a certain level of quality with the videos and audio - and while all of that is wonderful. It’s just bells and whistles. What people actually want and need from the course is to get results in a way that is easily implementable into their busy lives.

So I sat down and recorded module one today. And it might not be perfect, but at least I am one step closer to getting it out there.

So if you are ready to make a change in your health, start getting your energy back, start having more focus, start finally feeling like you’re not ravenous and snacky all day — then hope over to my Instagram here and watch a couple of videos where I share tactical tools to get you going right away.

And also, sign up for the Priority Waitlist for The Breakfast Habit - my new program coming soon that will get you from rushing out the door and trying to survive on coffee to finally being able to have a protein-packed breakfast every day that supports your body change goals. (Signing up does not put you under ANY obligation to buy; it just gets you on the list to be the first to know when doors open and get all the best bonuses.)

Cheers,

Morgan

You do NOT need to do everything perfectly in order to get results. You just need to do a few things mostly well and consistently. I went through a bulk (where I was eating in a surplus to put on muscle) a couple years ago and I had a spreadsheet where I was tracking probably 20 different metrics - steps, sleep, protein, carbs, fat, fiber, my cycle, sleep, hydration, energy, measurements, weight, my lifts etc… And it while I THRIVE in data - even for me it was overwhelming each week to have...

I underestimate big projects (“Oh, that’ll take 30 minutes!” *It took 3 hours)I’m brilliant at creating monster to-do lists- I’m terrible at figuring out what actually needs to happen TODAY- I underestimate big projects (“Oh, that’ll take 30 minutes!” *It took 3 hours)- I overestimate small tasks (“This will eat my whole morning!” *It took 5 minutes)I'm feeling behind this week. Last week? I managed three late nights of dancing, head-banging to great music, living my best life. This week? I’m...

I squashed my perfectionist brain yesterday and painted for the first time in maybe years. Instead of spending another day thinking about how much I wanted to do art, that I needed to set up a space, carve out some time, and dig out my art supplies buried deep in the dreaded junk closet, I took a straw from coaching. I asked myself, ‘How can I make this as low-lift as possible? What do I need? What keeps getting in the way? How can I lower the barrier to entry?’ We often get stuck in these...
