Why wait for motivation to get healthy? What if that’s exactly what’s keeping you stuck, and there’s a better way forward?
I’m joined by Jenn Trepeck, host of Salad with a Side of Fries and an optimal health coach who helps people build sustainable habits, without extremes. We break down why motivation is not the key to fitness success and how relying on it keeps us in a cycle of guilt, shame, and inconsistency. Instead, we talk about building momentum through simple, repeatable actions that fit into real life, even on your busiest days. Jenn also shares two practical movement routines anyone can start today.
Today, you’ll learn all about:

3:43 – Replace motivation with another M word
6:23 – What discipline really looks like
10:21 – Make fitness fun and doable
16:07 – How to start without overwhelm
20:04 – Consistency beats intensity
25:49 – Aligning expectations with your life
35:02 – When tracking helps more than hurts
54:27 – Your sustainable plan starts here
58:45 – Two-minute routine for busy days
1:01:17 – Affirmations that actually work
