In episode 108, we’re talking about why setting goals isn’t the problem. It’s how we set them, and what’s missing when motivation fades. If you’ve ever started strong and then lost momentum a few weeks later, this episode breaks down what actually helps goals stick.

I walk through a simple, three-part framework I use with clients to move from intention to follow-through. We talk about identity, structure, and support and why relying on willpower alone keeps you stuck. You’ll hear client examples of promotions, side businesses, and visibility goals, and how shifting the system around the goal made execution possible.

In this episode, I cover:

• Why pressure, perfectionism, and other people’s expectations derail goals

• The three-part framework that turns goals into follow-through

• How identity shifts make goals feel possible instead of overwhelming

• Why structure reduces decision fatigue when life gets busy

• How support and accountability change what you’re able to sustain

Key Takeaways:

• Goals fail when they rely on willpower instead of systems

• Clarity starts with understanding why a goal matters to you

• Structure keeps momentum going when motivation dips

• Support reveals what you need to succeed and what was missing before

• The best goals stretch your identity without disconnecting you from your life
