If you’ve ever had one “off-plan” moment and immediately thought, “Well… I blew it. I’ll just start again in January,” this episode is your new holiday survival guide.

December is basically a giant obstacle course — school events, travel, office parties, cookies multiplying like they’re trying to take over the world. Your routines will absolutely get shaken up… but that doesn’t mean your progress has to.

Today, I’m teaching you how to turn any slip-up into momentum using one simple mindset shift and a powerful 60-second evaluation tool. No shame. No spiraling. No “I’ll start over Monday.”

Inside this episode:

✨ Why slip-ups are neutral data, not moral failures
✨ The 4 evaluation questions that turn mistakes into strategy
✨ What makes restarting feel SO hard (hint: brain momentum + dopamine)
✨ How to use a “Minimum Reset Step” to reboot your habits fast
✨ The 6-Hour Turnaround for getting back on track the SAME day
✨ Why compassion—not perfection—is what actually creates consistency

Whether you overate at a holiday party, skipped meals all day, or had a “cookie ambush” moment at work, this episode shows you exactly how to recover quickly… and confidently.
