Ruts are normal, but they don’t have to stick. You can break free, and it often doesn’t take much to get started! Let’s take a look at 3 of the best ways to do it...1. Revisit your rootsWe all forget why we started sometimes — it’s normal. It’s even healthy — when we look back on the beginning of the journey, we realize how far we’ve come and whether we’re still aligned with our intentions. Ask how your goals and priorities have changed, and get super clear on what drives them. Then you can look at your current trajectory and see where you’ve been consistent (and where you haven’t). This makes it much simpler to find your motivation again and press forward with more excitement and energy than you’ve had in ages!

The fitness industry has a dark secret hidden behind promises of quick-fix results and unattainable goals.It keeps women jumping from diet to diet, always starting something new and then bouncing back, even when they know deep down that nothing is going to change.The end result is that you can try going on keto, low-fat, intermittent fasting, whatever the latest trend is… And still be pulled into yet another program making the same promises, using a different type of restriction.Typically, it also comes with the promise of absurdly fast results, and it’s so cleverly designed that even if you never see lasting results after doing everything right, it’s nearly impossible to resist coming back over and trying again…No matter how frustrating or difficult it becomes!These companies pull women in by using complicated systems that only work under extremely specific circumstances.Keto is a perfect example: Ketosis only kicks in when carbs are almost completely absent from your body… And at the moment you reintroduce carbs to your diet, this fat-burning mechanism grinds to a halt.Intermittent fasting relies on avoiding all food except for within a very specific window of time. But outside of that time, you may be constantly battling hunger and fatigue until you’re even allowed a snack.While some women have the time and willpower to get everything absolutely perfect, this lifestyle isn’t realistic for the vast majority of women. Plus, it’ll make you miserable faster than you can say “low cal”!If you understand this secret and how it’s designed to keep you hooked on programs that never work, you can take back control and turn the tables on these unrealistic and unsustainable diets forever.I can attest to this… I was on brutally restrictive plans in my competition days, and once I discovered why I could never see the results I wanted unless I put my body through hell, everything clicked into place.Since then and for the past 7 years, I’ve worked out about 3-5 days a week, eating a sustainable and enjoyable diet that allows me to stay toned year-round without the ups and downs most nutrition plans are infamous for.I’ve never looked back since. Restrictive diets don’t work, plain and simple — look at what happens with those “success stories” months or years later and that will be abundantly clear.I can show you the same step-by-step process over 8,138 women have used and continue to use right now to make and KEEP progress they never found with any restrictive diets!

More sessions, not longer ones If you want to increase your cardio and it’s actually going to help you move toward your goals (i.e. you’re not overdoing it), don’t just extend your sessions — you’ll benefit more from distributing it more evenly over extra sessions. This helps mitigate against fatigue as long cardio workouts drain a ton of energy. By distributing the same total amount of cardio across more days of the week, you’ll typically notice more consistent energy levels and be able to enjoy life more in general! So don’t be tempted to go through it all at once.

In this episode of The Macro Hour, host Nikkiey Stott flips the script on the modern definition of “self-care.” With tough love and raw honesty, she unpacks why so many women are stuck in a cycle of emotional escape masked as “balance” — and how what they think is nurturing them is actually sabotaging their goals. Nikkiey dives into the psychology behind avoidance patterns, the cultural conditioning that glorifies rest without accountability, and the gritty truth that real self-care often looks like discipline, boundaries, and doing the hard thing. Listeners will walk away with a powerful reframe on what it means to truly care for yourself — and how to start choosing habits that build confidence instead of chaos.

In one of her most vulnerable episodes yet, Nikkiey Stott opens up about the quiet toll the past year has taken on her body, her health, and her spirit. From the outside, she looked like she had it all together — running a thriving company, showing up on camera, leading a movement. But behind the scenes, her body was sending signals: exhaustion, hair loss, brain fog, poor recovery, and more. This episode chronicles what happened when Nikkiey finally paused to dig deeper. She shares her journey through functional lab testing that revealed low thyroid, low testosterone, and adrenal dysfunction — and how years of pushing, forcing, and staying “in control” had led her nervous system into chronic fight-or-flight. What follows is a story of healing: from seeking neurofeedback therapy to rebuilding her relationship with God, learning to soften, surrender, and step out of masculine energy. For any woman who’s been silently struggling while doing everything right, this is the reminder that your body keeps the score — and your healing matters.

Along the way, she exposes why so many women feel misled by the endless “quick fixes” out there—and what it really takes to create results that last.
