Episode 290: How to find the right time to start when there is never a right time

You know that thing where you keep saying you’ll deal with it Monday? Or next month. Or after the holidays. Or January 1st when you’ll magically become a completely different human? Yeah. We’re talking about that. In this episode, I’m joined by my friend and ADHD/executive function coach Debbie White to talk about why waiting for the “right time” keeps you doing the same shit over and over—and what actually helps you make changes that work in your real life. We also talk about  the mini retreat Debbie and I are hosting this October, 2026 Course Correct, and exactly what we’ll be working on together and why you should join us! We talk about: * Why your brain loves a fresh start—but how that can actually keep you stuck * Why copying someone else’s food, exercise or productivity plan usually backfires * How your personal values can show you exactly why your current plan isn’t working for you * How to stop trying to “get back on track” and figure out what to do next instead * What we’re doing at the 2026 Course Correct mini retreat and what you’ll walk out with If you’ve been telling yourself you’ll deal with your eating, your exercise, your career or whatever else isn’t working once life calms down, this episode (and this retreat!) is for you.Here are all the details for the mini retreat, Sunday October 4, 3-5pm in Fanwood, NJ. Connect with Jordana Find me on Instagram Sign up for my weekly letter with personal stories and nutrition, body image and mindset tips Schedule a free discovery call to talk more about working together Listen to more episodes of The Diet Diaries
