[22:01] It’s not about perfection – but about showing up

Jen advocates starting with 1% to achieve growth, emphasizing small incremental steps can lead to big results over waiting for perfection.

Change starts internally with understanding your “why”and not by immediately taking external actions, as meaningful and sustainable change comes from within.

Taking on an “athlete mentality” can help you achieve wellness through habits matching who you want to be, focusing more on consistency than fleeting results.
