    2024/10/26

    In this week’s episode of The Psyche Behind the Physique, host Maddy Michielssen dives into the power of extreme ownership and self-accountability. Building on last week's discussion on how we can unconsciously thrive in dysfunction, Maddy shares personal insights from a recent family trip to Watsonville, CA. She reflects on how shifting from rigid expectations to intentional, realistic actions allowed her to stay aligned with her health goals without compromising joy and presence.

    Maddy breaks down how you can stop falling into the trap of weekend resets, unrealistic vacation expectations, or struggles with eating out by embracing the mindset of ownership. Through practical tips on setting clear intentions, adapting without guilt, and navigating social situations with grace, she encourages listeners to own their journeys fully—without excuses or victim mentality.

    This episode is packed with relatable stories, actionable strategies, and empowering takeaways to help you move away from all-or-nothing thinking. Whether you’re prepping for the holidays, family trips, or simply the weekend ahead, you’ll learn how to align your actions with your goals and make consistent progress without sacrificing life’s meaningful moments.
