When Life Interrupts: The Smallest Yes That Still Counts
Episode 7
Tuesday, 7 April, 2026
Click to Text Thoughts on Today's EpisodePlease tell me I'm not the only one this has happened to. You make a plan — a good one. And then life shows up, and the plan is gone.Whether it's an injury, grief, travel, or just a random Thursday that derailed everything — life will interrupt your plan. The question isn't whether it will happen. It's what you'll do when it does.In this episode, I'm sharing a concept I call the Alternative Minimum Yes — and yes, the acronym spells AMY. It's the smallest, most doable version of movement or care that keeps you connected to yourself when your original plan isn't possible. Not pushing through. Not white-knuckling it. Just staying in relationship with your body instead of abandoning it — even when the yes looks different than you planned.Main Points Covered:Why consistency is about never fully stopping — not never missingThe difference between alternative and lesserWhy your AMY can be physical, emotional, mental, or spiritualHow to identify your Alternative Minimum Yes before the crisis hitsWhy rest absolutely counts as a yesThe all-or-nothing cycle — and how to break itEpisodes DiscussedChanging Movement: Honest Conversations from Two Fitness Pros with Kerry Ann MaddenTry This Snack for Better HealthStrong and Vibrant at Home - 7 weeks of app-based at-home strength training designed for women in perimenopause and beyond.
