The Morning Dig Hosted by Chris Williams
What if five minutes could shift the way you show up for the entire week?
I launched The Morning Dig in 2023 as my first podcast. I wanted to create a space where I could share quick, meaningful thoughts to help you reset, refocus, and keep digging in, especially when life feels heavy or unclear.
Every Monday, I release a short episode centered on leadership, mindset, and personal growth. Some are less than five minutes, some are a little longer, but each one is rooted in real experience and built to help you move into your week with clarity and intention.
This podcast was born out of my own journey through burnout, realignment, and learning how to lead without losing myself. I’m not here to give you all the answers. I’m here to share what I’ve lived, what I’ve learned, and what I’m still working through.
If you’re building something meaningful and trying to stay aligned with what matters, you’re in the right place.
Start your week with purpose, not pressure.

Why Consistency Matters More Than Perfection in Health.
Have you ever wondered how a shift in mindset can change your approach to health and happiness?
Welcome to another episode of The Morning Dig Podcast.
In this fourth episode of Season 4, we explore the complexities of diet and the balance between strict routines and enjoying life’s moments. Long-term diet transformations can be effective, but they often come with challenges—those moments when the pressure to maintain perfection can lead to stress and frustration. It’s all too common to see progress during a focused period only to feel overwhelmed when the structure slips.
After a few weeks of tight discipline, it’s easy to feel the need for a break. The realization dawns that food doesn’t just fuel the body; it also creates memories and connections with family and friends. So, what happens when that strict routine gives way to a meal or a day off? It turns out that taking those moments doesn’t derail progress—instead, it can rejuvenate both the mind and body.
Maintaining flexibility in a routine can lead to a healthier relationship with food and wellness. Instead of feeling pressured to adhere to rigid boundaries, allowing space for spontaneity can enhance motivation and satisfaction. A few days of indulgence often lead back to a healthy routine more quickly than expected, with a refreshed mindset ready to tackle goals anew.
This episode isn’t just about diet; it’s a broader reflection on life’s balance. The strain of perfectionism can ripple through personal and professional relationships, affecting how one interacts with loved ones and colleagues. Real progress lies in consistency, not rigidity, and knowing when to prioritize life’s moments over strict routines can lead to sustainable health and happiness.
