December is basically a holiday obstacle course — and if you’re feeling like your routines are slipping through your fingers, this episode is your safety net. Today, we’re breaking down how to stay consistent without perfection, pressure, or pretending you suddenly have more free time than you actually do. Spoiler: you don’t.
Instead, I’m giving you The Bare-Minimum Blueprint — tiny, doable, non-negotiable habits that keep you feeling grounded and in control, even when life looks like a glitter-covered circus.
Inside the episode, we cover:
✨ Why December is exactly the time to simplify
✨ How to stop the all-or-nothing spiral before it starts
✨ Why “bare minimum” isn’t slacking — it’s strategy
✨ Six tiny habits you can pick from (choose 1–3!)
✨ Micro habits you can do even while traveling
✨ How these small actions build the identity you want for January
You’ll walk away knowing exactly what your “no matter what” habit is — the one thing you’ll do to support yourself through the rest of the year.
