From Stuck to Started: Executive Function & ADHD Coaching to Take Action

009: Why Your Goals Don’t Stick (And How to Set Goals and Achieve Them)


Listen Later

If you’ve ever set a goal, felt super motivated for a couple of weeks, and then let it fall apart or if goal-setting feels so overwhelming that you avoid it altogether—this episode is for you. I’m sharing a fresh approach to setting goals that align with your identity. Whether you want to embrace a new habit, take on a new challenge, or simply follow through on what matters to you, this episode will give you actionable tips to get started—and keep going.

Here's what you'll learn:

  • How to set goals that stick (even if you have struggled with being consistent the past)
  • How identity-based goals create sustainable change
  • The role self-talk plays in taking action (and why it’s the foundation of executive functioning)
  • How perfectionism, “should” thinking, and all-or-nothing expectations sabotage goals
