🎧 Episode 199 - When Progress Gets Interrupted (And How to Come Back Without Starting Over)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
You didn’t quit.
Life interrupted.
If you’ve ever felt like you were doing well — and then suddenly found yourself “starting over,” this episode explains why.
Spoiler: it’s not about motivation.
It’s about design.
Here’s what we’re unpacking:
Why progress really stalls
Research shows most habits don’t fail because people give up — they fail because of disruption.
Travel.
Illness.
Schedule changes.
Stress.
Caregiving.
Real life.
Most systems are built for ideal weeks — not unpredictable ones.
The re-entry problem
When routines break, most people don’t need a new plan.
They need a way back in.
Diana shares a personal story about a season where everything was working — until life shifted. The lesson?
“I didn’t need a new plan. I needed a re-entry point.”
The 4 invisible progress blockers
- All-or-nothing systems – Great when life is calm. Fragile when it’s not.
- No re-entry point – Miss a week and it feels like starting over.
- Too many decisions – Restarting feels heavier than stopping.
- Shame-based self-talk – “I should be further along.”
These aren’t character flaws.
They’re design flaws.
Why restarting feels harder than starting
Research shows people resume habits faster when restarting feels:
- Small
- Familiar
- Neutral
Shame delays progress.
Accessibility restores it.
“Consistency isn’t about intensity. It’s about accessibility.”
This week’s challenge
Instead of asking:
“Why can’t I stick with this?”
Ask:
“How easy is it for me to come back when life interrupts?”
