Why I Hate The 80/20 Rule

Most women unintentionally sabotage their progress byclinging to the 80-20 rule—thinking flexibility equals freedom. But what if true transformation comes from embracing discomfort daily?

In this eye-opening episode, I break down why the classic 80-20 approach often backfires, especially when that elusive 20% turns into 100% indulgence. You’ll discover why setting firm boundaries—and intentionally sitting in discomfort—accelerates progress far more than flexible cheating ever could. I unpack the real 20% that builds self-trust, the psychology behind weekendbingeing, and how to structure your daily routine so that discipline becomes effortless.
Most importantly, I explain why avoiding discomfort stalls growth—and how embracing it regularly is the key to thriving during perimenopause and menopause. If you’re tired of feeling frustrated, stuck, or like you're constantly starting over, this episode delivers the mindset shifts needed to accelerateyour journey.
