Big change can feel overwhelming—but sometimes it starts with the smallest step. In this episode of Planned-ish, Melissa shares how something as simple as cooking chicken became the micro habit that transformed her health, confidence, and daily life.
From family BBQ competitions and the Big Pig Jig to a 2023 health scare that led her to join Weight Watchers, chicken became both survival food and a symbol of consistency. By batch-grilling chicken breast, creating simple go-to meals, and leaning on tiny daily habits, Melissa proves that small actions really can add up to big results.
We dive into:
• How to start with the smallest possible step when chasing a big goal
• Why consistency matters more than perfection
• What to do when life derails your progress (hello, Chick-fil-A and dino nuggets)
• How maintenance mode, survival mode, and achievement mode shape growth
• Why good work is never wasted—and how to circle back to your goals with grace
✨ Whether you’re focusing on health, building habits, or just figuring out your next step, this episode is a reminder that the tiniest choices can pave the biggest paths.
