Why "sprinting" is proactive in the third week of January and How to double your ROI


Hi Fabulous Friends!

Week 3 is where most people quit their new year diet/exercise program.

Not because something is wrong with them.
Because effort feels high and results feel non existent.

We’re calling it out and choosing to be proactive, not reactive.
I’m sending a short burst 10 email series to move us out of the quitters window and into the next phase.
Life is already hard. We don’t need to make it harder.

Here’s the truth plans don’t explain:

The effort → results curve is not linear.
Early on, effort climbs fast while results barely move.
That flat line isn’t failure. It’s foundation.

Slow.
Then leverage.
Then acceleration.

With the right systems in place, the curves catch up.
Results rise fast because the base is already built.

When the right habits are leveraged → practiced → automated, progress compounds.
Life gets a little easier

People quit because they expect results to match effort immediately.
When they don’t, they bail.

The fix isn’t more grind, or fewer calories.
It’s better return on your effort investment. Time and energy are currencies- invest them wisely.

One mobility example.
One minute. Full body.
The world’s greatest stretch targets shoulders, hips, core, thoracic rotation, glutes, and breath.
High ROI. Low time.

Next time, we’ll cover another high-LEVERAGE move: breakfast for performance + taste in under 3 minutes.

You weren’t the problem (stop talking shit about yourself-that makes you go backward).
And most of the time, it wasn’t the program (if it has you consuming 1200 calories it most definitely is the program).
It was willpower without systems.

For now, lower friction and keep moving forward here: Strong Women Free Community, Coaching + Resource Hub

More soon on the step by step how to feel better + look better for life. Cart opens next week. Stay tuned!

Cheers to thriving together,

If the goal is preserving and building muscle, breakfast is one of your best daily decisions. Here’s why: After ~10–12 hours without food, your body is primed to absorb nutrients—especially the amino acids from protein.This is a high-efficiency window. When you hit it, you get more return for the same effort. A lot of women overlook it. What I commonly hear:“I’m not hungry, plus there’s not enough time.”They figure the calorie reduction from a skipped meal will be beneficial. But for women,...

Hi Fabulous Friends!! The same mindset we try to teach the kids about becoming mentally strong athletes is the exact same mindset required to get healthier, stronger, and leaner as adults. Yet it’s almost completely overlooked. That’s why so many well-intentioned people are getting sicker instead of stronger—not because they’re lazy or undisciplined, but because they’re missing the framework. In sports, mistakes aren’t failures—they’re crucial data. They reveal the constraint. After Kobe...

Hi Fabulous Friends!! In blackjack, if you’re holding eleven and the dealer shows a six, you double down—no debating, just a no-brainer move with fantastic odds.
