Why Going “All In” Keeps Making You Start Over

Cori Lefkowith

If you’re a driven, disciplined, all-or-nothing person… this episode might sting a little.

Because the truth is, the same “go all in” mindset that helps you succeed in other areas of life is often the exact reason your fitness progress keeps stalling, burning out, and restarting.

In this episode, we break down why perfection feels like commitment — but actually destroys consistency.

You’ll learn:

  • Why rigid rules and “perfect weeks” make progress fragile
  • How the all-or-nothing mindset turns small slips into total restarts
  • Why your body doesn’t care about perfect days — only what you do most often
  • And how to use consistency as the system, with perfection as a tool (not a requirement)

If you’re tired of the cycle of pushing hard, burning out, and starting over — and you want results that actually compound and stick — this episode will change how you think about effort, discipline, and progress.
