Today, I want to talk about something that so many of us struggle to accept — the idea that you can't always give 100%. Some days, weeks, or even months… all you have is 60%. And that's not failure — that's being human. We live in a culture that glorifies "all or nothing." It tells us that if we're not giving it our absolute best — crushing workouts, tracking macros perfectly, staying on top of every little habit — then we're somehow falling short. But it doesn't have to be this way. When you start giving yourself permission to scale your effort based on your season, you stop operating from guilt and start operating from grace. And that's where real, sustainable progress happens. So in this episode of Embrace Your Real, we're going to talk about:

• Why 60% effort still matters more than you think
• What "maintenance mode" actually looks like
• And how to give yourself permission to scale back without losing momentum
