'THE EXCELLENT TAX': WHAT SAYING 'YES' TO EVERYONE & EVERYTHING IS REALLY COSTING YOU

You started your fitness journey and the results were flying and now you feel like you're doing everything the same but the progress has stalled. It's the crumbs. The bites, licks and tastes that aren't being tracked. The water that's slipped. The meals that are eyeballed instead of weighed. In this episode we're talking about why the small stuff matters MORE as you progress, why your body requires more precision over time and how to audit what's actually going on before you blow everything up and start over.

The conversation delves into the concept of the 'excellent tax' and its impact on personal and professional life. It explores the signs of paying the tax, the cost of people pleasing and the warning signs of burnout. Solutions to lower the excellent tax are discussed, emphasizing the importance of setting boundaries and prioritizing personal well being.Chapters00:00 Inside Look at Coaching Call06:02 Paying the Excellent Tax19:34 Solutions to Lower the Excellent Tax
