Theresa Byrne explains why generic advice fails: everyone has different motivations and emotional states. She advocates testing ideas in your own life, keeping what works, and pivoting when something doesn't. Setting boundaries from anger, for instance, often backfires.

I wanna share something that maybe you've heard before. Not all advice is created equally. So I'm a mindset coach and a specialist in boundaries, and not all boundaries work the exact same for every person. Not all advice is created equally. We each get to decide on our own what someone else is sharing with us, if it's gonna work for us. For example, if someone tells you, you need to have really strong boundaries, you need to really set those boundaries and say no, but you're doing it from a place of anger, That may not work for you. It might be a better choice to see what kind of boundaries do I need to set? What do I need in my life? It's the same for fitness or food advice. Every food is in us differently. All exercises are not created equally. All movement plans are not created equally. We were not created equally. So determining what kinds of advice, when you ask for it, work for you, or what kinds of thoughts, or what kinds of plan work for you, it's like using the laboratory of your life. Life. That's my favorite thing when I work with clients is that we apply different aspects of what could work for them. We look at what's not working, we look at where a struggle is, we look at where their challenges are and what's building into that. And then we start to create a program step by step. We try this and if it works, we keep going that direction. Or if it doesn't work, we might shift and pivot and do something different. So all mindset, all boundary, all coaching advice is not created equally. You get to determine what works for you, what's the ideal way for you to move forward toward the goals that you've got.
