#65 - Why "I'll Start When Things Calm Down" Is a Trap

If you've ever said "I'll start when the kids are back in school" or "I'll get serious once work slows down" - this one's for you.In this episode, Daniel and Santo break down why waiting for the perfect time is the exact thing keeping you stuck. We talk about what's really going on when life feels too full to prioritize your health, how to identify what you're actually saying yes to instead, and why the woman who finally gets results isn't doing more - she's just stopped waiting for conditions to be perfect.We cover the rubber vs. glass priority framework, what Bare Ass Minimums (BAMs) are and why every busy mom needs them, and why a relapse week doesn't mean you've failed - it means you're learning.We also get into why your diet doesn't need to be your whole personality - and what actually works long-term.Timestamps0:00 - "I'm so busy.
