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

I see this every New Year: A client shows up to their onboarding call, eyes bright with determination. They’ve emptied out their pantry of every “bad” food in favor of fresh-cut veggies, splurged $200 on some new LuLu leggings, and meticulously planned their new 5 am workout routine. I’ve felt that excitement, that rush of believing “this time will be different.” But here’s the thing: two weeks later, the strict meal plan will be abandoned, the early morning alarm snoozed, and the workout...

I got called out by a friend at Friendsgiving. I was talking about the Pumpkin Spice Maple Pecan cheesecake I had made from scratch and how it probably would have been better with a maple pecan drizzle, but I couldn’t be bothered to take the time to do that because the glaze would be hot and then partially melt the cheesecake and then I would have to reset it in the fridge, and it would be a whole process. So I just didn’t. My friend laughed and said that the way I could put in the energy and...

It’s rave day! 🦄🌈 Today, I am going to Dreamstate, a must festival here in SoCal that I have been going to since 2016. The festival runs from 1 pm to 1 am, with afters that go till 6 am both Friday and Saturday. This is my "epic shit" that I have been training for. I am very much treating this as an endurance sport. This week, I made sure to get in two lifting sessions and my “now” regular morning walks, but I’ve made it a lighter deload recovery week in preparation. Today is the day that I...
