Soft Discipline: Consistency Without Burnout
Discipline doesn’t have to be harsh to work.
In this episode of Giggles & Glutes, we’re talking about soft discipline — the kind of consistency that supports your life instead of punishing you for having one.
We break down why discipline has been misunderstood, how guilt sabotages progress, and why tiny daily habits build more confidence than extreme “all-or-nothing” approaches. This episode is about self-respect, sustainability, and learning how to show up for yourself without burning out.
If you’ve ever felt stuck in the cycle of starting strong and quitting harder — this one’s for you.
