My Headphones Broke… Here’s How I Turned It Around 🎧
🎧 My Headphones Broke Right Before My Run… Here’s What Happened Next
It was one of those mornings—I had planned my day, mapped out my workout, and was so ready to start the day strong with a long morning run. But as I was about to head out, I realized… my headphones were dead. And I mean, dead—no magical fix was going to bring them back to life. 🙄
Now, if you’re like me, you know the importance of a good soundtrack or guided app to keep your energy up, especially on a longer run. With no music, no podcast, and no backup, I had two choices:
1. Run Without the Headphones – Power through, even though it wasn’t ideal and would feel like a slog without my usual support.
2. Pivot & Reschedule – Order new headphones, take my dog to the park instead, and shift my run to the next morning. Plus, I could squeeze in a different workout later in the day.
3. Give Up Completely – Let the broken headphones ruin my day, skip movement altogether, feel defeated, and carry that frustration with me.
I went with option 2. I ordered new headphones, took my dog to the park to keep moving, and blocked time in my calendar for a different movement session later. It wasn’t my original plan, but it worked.
💡 The Power of the “All In” Mindset (and Why “All or Nothing” Holds Us Back)
The truth is, the only “wrong” choice was option 3, the All or Nothing mindset. That’s the mindset that says, “If it’s not perfect, it’s not worth doing.” But when we get stuck in that approach, it only leads to frustration and inconsistency. Instead, the All In mindset reminds us that we can pivot, adapt, and still show up. Life is unpredictable, and so is our schedule—what matters is that we stay adaptable.
🌟 Key Takeaways: Shifting from All or Nothing to All In
For so many high-achieving, busy professionals, fitness is a priority, but the All or Nothing mindset can often sneak in. So, here’s how to recognize it and shift toward a mindset that supports you, not limits you.
1. Embrace Flexibility in Your Routine
Not every day will go as planned, and that’s okay! Have a backup plan (or two) ready, and remember that even 10 minutes of movement makes a difference.
2. See Change as Opportunity
View setbacks as chances to grow and build resilience. Think of every “detour” as another way to strengthen your commitment to your goals.
3. Let Go of Perfection
Fitness and health don’t need to be perfect to be effective. Showing up consistently, even in small ways, will bring you far better results than waiting for perfect conditions.

Pull-up Revolution Student WINS
Will YOU be the next success story?!
Sarah was strong, she was consistent with her workouts but she wasn’t getting her pull-up. She showed up day after day and kept attempting but all she got when she tried was a shrug.
You can work really hard at something, but if you aren’t doing the right things, it will never happen for you. BUT! There is a way for women to get pull-ups and I’ve cracked the code for you!
Workouts need to include Mobility, Stability and Strength + we have to remember that the pull-up is a total body movement. Men and women are built differently and this system is created for women.
You want to get your pull-up, I’ve got you! I’ve helped hundreds of women do it already.
Sarah wanted just one pull-up and now she’s doing multiples! She’s getting stronger, more confident and she is succeeding in her goals. So can you!
Kim has been going to the gym for years and she is a super strong woman. All she wanted to do is one pull-up. She attempted and pushed so hard to get up there and nothing :(
Pull-ups are a whole body movement and they require the whole body to work together. So many women think that it’s an upper body movement only so they tug and tug with there arms and nothing happens.
As a woman, if you want to get your pull-up you have to train your whole body and work on connecting your whole body to get up there!
Pull-Up Revolution is a revolutionary pull-up program for women that absolutely works! You show up and you do your workouts and...just like Kim is... and you start doing pull-ups! In Kim’s case she is already doing multiple! Let’s go KIM!
So many women like you are who are ready to do the work are getting their pull-ups. The are more confident, standing taller and feeling amazing!
Are you next in line?
