I’m talking to you about the gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it consistently—and why that gap does not mean something is wrong with you.

In this short, focused episode, I walk you through why willpower isn’t a personality trait and why “just try harder” is not only unhelpful—it’s cruel. Then I give you one small shift that changes how consistency works: instead of chasing perfect outcomes, you start building identity through tiny, repeatable promises. Because small actions create identity, and identity makes follow-through feel more automatic over time.

By the end, you’ll choose one tiny identity-based habit you can practise this week—something that takes under two minutes—and you’ll track one thing only: whether you kept the promise to yourself. This is about learning to return to the path again and again, even when life gets messy.

✓ Perfect tracking isn't the goal - consistent practice is
✓ Your macro practice adapts to your life, not vice versa
✓ Self-care isn't selfish - it's modeling healthy habits for your kids
✓ Community connection matters more than perfect compliance

Your Homework:
Circle every sports commitment on next month's calendar. Choose 3-4 emergency meal combinations and pre-log them in your tracking app. Remember: 80% consistency during sports season beats 100% perfection followed by burnout.

Did something resonate with you today? I'm genuinely curious which of these hit home:
~"My macro practice adapts to my life" (for my perfectionists)
~"Self-care isn't selfish" (for my guilty parents)
~"Progress over perfection" (for my all-or-nothing thinkers)

Drop a comment sharing which message you needed to hear most. Your breakthrough might be exactly what another sports parent needs to hear today. 💜

~Coach Catharine

Learn how to maintain your macro tracking goals during busy sports seasons. Discover practical strategies for tournament days, mindset shifts for success, and how to balance family time with nutrition goals. Perfect for parents navigating sports season chaos while maintaining their health journey.

• How to shift from "trying to change" to "becoming the kind of person" who naturally makes healthy choices
• The PEACE framework for creating lasting habits that work with mom-life chaos
• Why your relationship with food reflects your relationship with yourself (and how to heal both)

Today's Story:
Sarah, a mom of twin two-year-olds, went from feeling like she'd "disappeared" after becoming a mother to becoming someone who prioritizes herself in small but powerful ways. Her journey shows you that you can love being a mom AND miss aspects of your pre-mom life—and that modelling self-care teaches your children they matter too.

Key Takeaway:
"The woman who can adapt to any situation, who can be imperfect and keep going anyway, who can honor all the parts of herself while showing up for her family—she's unstoppable. And that woman? That's who you already are. You just need to start treating yourself that way.💜"

I'm sharing how my CFO client went from spending 20 minutes playing "macro tetris" every night to enjoying peaceful dinners with her family.

What You'll Learn:
• The 8:30 PM planning ritual that transforms tracking from obsession to freedom
• Why my CFO client stopped spending 20 minutes rearranging dinner macros
• The simple math that eliminates perfectionism (divide protein by meals!)
• How pre-planning actually gives you MORE flexibility, not less
• Real client transformations from reactive chaos to proactive peace

Featured Client Story:
Follow a busy CFO's journey from frantically calculating 47 grams of chicken and 8 almonds at dinner to enjoying peaceful family meals while still hitting her goals.

Key Takeaways:
✓ Close enough is good enough
✓ Plans changing isn't failure - it's life
✓ Pre-planning isn't taking time - it's giving you time back
✓ Strategic planning beats perfect tracking every time

Your Homework:
Set an 8:30 PM alarm tonight. When it goes off, take 10 minutes to pre-log tomorrow's meals in Macro Sync. That's it. No perfection required.

Did something resonate with you today? I'm genuinely curious which of these hit home:
~ 'Close enough is good enough' (for my recovering perfectionists)
~'Plans changing isn't failure - it's life' (for my all-or-nothing thinkers)
~ 'Pre-planning isn't taking time - it's giving you time back' (for my "too busy" friends)

Drop a comment with which one you needed to hear most - or share your own mantra that's helping you track without obsession. Your breakthrough might be exactly what someone else needs to hear today. 💜

What if I told you that 30 seconds—literally 30 seconds—could shift you from feeling time-starved to feeling resourceful? Amy discovered this, and her story is going to show you exactly how tiny changes create massive transformation. 💜

What You'll Learn:
• How to shift from "I don't have time" to "I find tiny pockets of possibility" with micro-habits that actually stick
• The Behaviour Change Blueprint—a 4-step framework that turns psychology into practical action
• Why identity-based habits work better than willpower (and how to use them starting today)

Today's Story:
Amy, a mom of twin 4-year-olds working part-time from home, went from feeling "bone-deep tired" and completely lost to becoming "the strongest she's ever been" by starting with wall push-ups while her coffee heated up. Her journey shows you that transformation isn't about finding more time—it's about seeing yourself differently in the time you already have.

Key Takeaway:
"You're not trying to force yourself to do things that feel foreign. You're just being who you are. When you tie behaviours to identity, you stop fighting against yourself and start living into who you're becoming."

]]> Tue, 15 Jul 2025 15:58:36 +0000 Brad.dieter@macrosinc.net (Catharine Adams) https://the-macro-mindset-with-catharine-adams.simplecast.com/episodes/small-steps-big-growth-quick-wins-for-busy-moms-113-MscOACdB If you've ever felt like you're "just someone who never has time for anything," I need you to know something: you're not broken, and you don't need a complete life overhaul. What if I told you that 30 seconds—literally 30 seconds—could shift you from feeling time-starved to feeling resourceful? Amy discovered this, and her story is going to show you exactly how tiny changes create massive transformation. 💜

What You'll Learn:
• How to shift from "I don't have time" to "I find tiny pockets of possibility" with micro-habits that actually stick
• The Behaviour Change Blueprint—a 4-step framework that turns psychology into practical action
• Why identity-based habits work better than willpower (and how to use them starting today)

Today's Story:
Amy, a mom of twin 4-year-olds working part-time from home, went from feeling "bone-deep tired" and completely lost to becoming "the strongest she's ever been" by starting with wall push-ups while her coffee heated up. Her journey shows you that transformation isn't about finding more time—it's about seeing yourself differently in the time you already have.

Key Takeaway:
"You're not trying to force yourself to do things that feel foreign. You're just being who you are. When you tie behaviours to identity, you stop fighting against yourself and start living into who you're becoming."

Ready to take action? Tag me @catharineadams and share your biggest takeaway from today's episode, I would LOVE to hear from YOU! 

💜, 

Catharine

]]> Fuel with Confidence: Why Carbs Are Key to Energy & Sustainable Fat Loss (Ep.1.9) Catharine Adams 00:38:18 In this episode, I tackle one of the biggest struggles I see in my coaching practice - the fear of carbs. From my heartbreaking consultation with a client eating only 30g of carbs daily to transformative stories of women finding food freedom, I break down why adequate carbohydrates can be crucial for both performance and sustainable fat loss. Through science, client experiences, and my own journey from carb-fearer to confident coach, I show you how to fuel your body without fear. If you've ever felt guilty about eating an apple or anxious around bread, this episode will help you start to rebuild trust with food and your body.

• Why the "bulky" fear is based on outdated myths, not science
• The powerful physical AND mental benefits of strength training for women
• Three myths I help bust wide open:

  1. Lifting weights makes women bulky
  2. Cardio is better for fat loss
  3. I'll lose my curves

Key Takeaways:
• Women lack the testosterone to "accidentally" bulk up
• Strength training benefits mental health as much as physical health
• Building muscle is crucial for healthy aging and independence
• Progress comes from starting, not waiting to be perfect
• Every lift builds evidence of your capability

Your ONE Action Step:
Choose one simple movement (bodyweight squats, wall push-ups, or carrying groceries differently) and do it three times this week. Notice how you feel before, during, and after.

Quotes From This Episode To Inspire YOU:
• "You're not trying to get bulky. You're trying to get powerful."
• "Every squat today is an investment in getting off the toilet at 80."
• "You don't need to be perfect to start. You need to start to get better."

]]> Tue, 10 Jun 2025 14:11:18 +0000 Brad.dieter@macrosinc.net (Catharine Adams) https://the-macro-mindset-with-catharine-adams.simplecast.com/episodes/ep-18-strong-not-bulky-the-real-power-of-womens-strength-training-6s8ldvYC In This Episode, I Share:
• Why the "bulky" fear is based on outdated myths, not science
• The powerful physical AND mental benefits of strength training for women
• Three myths I help bust wide open:

  1. Lifting weights makes women bulky
  2. Cardio is better for fat loss
  3. I'll lose my curves

Key Takeaways:
• Women lack the testosterone to "accidentally" bulk up
• Strength training benefits mental health as much as physical health
• Building muscle is crucial for healthy aging and independence
• Progress comes from starting, not waiting to be perfect
• Every lift builds evidence of your capability

Your ONE Action Step:
Choose one simple movement (bodyweight squats, wall push-ups, or carrying groceries differently) and do it three times this week. Notice how you feel before, during, and after.

Quotes From This Episode To Inspire YOU:
• "You're not trying to get bulky. You're trying to get powerful."
• "Every squat today is an investment in getting off the toilet at 80."
• "You don't need to be perfect to start. You need to start to get better."
• "Strength training doesn't just build muscle. It builds mental evidence that you can do hard things."

She explains why the constant cycle of restarting every Monday, after vacations, or following "off-plan" moments actually hinders long-term progress and offers a more sustainable approach.

KEY CONCEPTS
• The restart cycle keeps us stuck in a pattern of perfection or abandonment
• Progress comes from learning and adjusting, not from perfect execution
• Small, consistent adjustments create more sustainable change than periodic fresh starts
• Identity-based motivation is more powerful than outcome-based goals

PRACTICAL TAKEAWAYS

  1. Replace "starting over" with "next best step"
  2. Create a Minimum Viable Plan (MVP) for challenging times
  3. Use the WOOP method (Wish, Outcome, Obstacle, Plan) to navigate challenges
  4. Practice daily reflection instead of weekly restarts

ACTIONABLE TIPS
• Track restart triggers for three days to identify patterns
• Focus on identity ("I'm becoming someone who...") rather than outcomes
• Make small adjustments instead of complete overhauls
• Celebrate learning moments, even uncomfortable ones

BOTTOM LINE
Breaking free from the restart cycle isn't about finding the perfect plan—it's about building consistency through small adjustments, learning from experiences, and maintaining momentum even when things don't go as planned.
