Ep. 9 – Dealing with Hard Days & Learning to Adapt When Nothing Goes as Planned

Alani, Caroline, & Kait Season 1 Episode 9

Life doesn't always go according to plan, and that's okay. In this episode, we're getting real about those hard days when your routine gets thrown off, motivation dips, or life just feels overwhelming. Instead of seeing these moments as setbacks, we're talking about how to adapt, adjust, and keep moving forward - because progress doesn't come from being perfect.

Kate opens up about her recent struggles with getting a new puppy, working 12-hour ICU shifts, and how her coach helped her realize that sometimes rest is more important than pushing through. We dive deep into the anxiety we all face - from social media comparison to feeling like everyone else has their life together while we're just trying to keep up.

We're also talking about the reality behind our highlight reels, the privilege of being busy and stressed, and why comparing yourself to others is just wasted energy. Whether you're dealing with work stress, feeling overwhelmed by your fitness journey, or struggling with that constant "go, go, go" mentality, this episode reminds you that hard days are part of the process.

If you've ever felt like you're the only one struggling or wondered how to keep showing up for yourself when everything feels chaotic, this conversation will remind you that you're not alone. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is just take it one step at a time.

We're all figuring it out together, and that's what makes us human!
