When I was a competitive ski racer, mastering the "whirlybird" spin was one of the toughest—and most crucial—skills. Skiers repeat this move again and again, so when wipeouts happen, they can handle them with calm and control, avoiding panic or injury. Our health journey works the same way. Setbacks and obstacles are inevitable, but it’s how we prepare and respond that truly shapes our success.

In this episode, I’ll show you how practicing for those inevitable “wipeouts” before they happen can keep you steady on your health path. You’ll discover how to pinpoint your most common derailments, create backup plans that actually work, and build the mental resilience to bounce back fast when life throws you off course. Because the people who succeed aren't the ones who never face challenges—they're the ones who get really good at working through them.
