After having Half Dome on her bucket list for years, Jess unexpectedly got the opportunity to tackle it this year—and she’s sharing the full adventure, from getting their permits to climbing the infamous cables, and everything that happened along the way.

  94. The 3 S’s of Consistency: Systems, Structure & Scheduling

  Sep 2, 202627 min

  What if the problem isn’t that you lack motivation or discipline…but that your habits just aren’t supported enough? In this episode, Jess breaks down the 3 S’s of consistency: Systems, Structures, and Scheduling. Rather than relying on motivation to maintain healthy habits, she explores how to create routines that support you through busy seasons, low-energy days, travel, stress, changing schedules, and all the other ways real life likes to get in the way. Jess also talks about why we so often build routines for our ideal life instead of our real life. Because if your routine only works when everything goes perfectly…is it really a sustainable routine? You’ll learn how to: Create systems that make your habits easier and require less motivation Build a realistic baseline so one hard week doesn’t turn into starting over Use scheduling to actually make space for the things that matter Create lower-bar options for the days when you’re tired, busy, or just not feeling it Plan for the interruptions instead of treating them like failures Build routines around your real life—not your ideal self AndJess brings it all back to the Bounce Back Rate—because consistency isn’t about never getting off track. It’s about getting better at finding your way back. The goal isn’t to create a routine you can follow perfectly. It’s to build one you can return to when life gets in the way. If you’re tired of constantly starting over and want to build healthy habits that actually fit your life, this episode is for you.

  Five years ago, Jess took a leap and started her coaching practice with a simple mission: to help people build healthier, happier lives.

In this special five-year anniversary episode, Jess reflects on the biggest lessons she's learned—not just as a coach, but as a person.
