191. Let’s Talk About 75 Hard… Is This Discipline or a Setup for Failure?

You’ve probably seen the 75 Hard challenge everywhere.

Two workouts a day.
No missed days.
Start over if you mess up.

It looks like discipline.
It feels like commitment.
But is it actually helping you stay consistent… or setting you up to fail?

In this episode, we break down what 75 Hard really is, why it’s so appealing, and why it often backfires for women trying to build sustainable fitness habits.  

Because the truth is:

You don’t need a harder plan.
You need one that fits your real life.  

We’re talking about:

  • why extreme fitness challenges don’t create lasting results
  • how all-or-nothing thinking keeps you stuck
  • what real consistency actually looks like
  • how to build workouts that work in busy seasons

Consistency isn’t built in perfect conditions.
It’s built in the messy ones.

And that changes everything.
