Strong Is a Mindset

189. Why Progress Feels Slow (and Why That's Not a Problem)


Listen Later

Have you ever thought, "I know what to do… so why does this still feel hard?"

In this episode, I'm talking about that uncomfortable middle space where progress feels slow, quiet, and honestly, a little underwhelming. The phase where nothing dramatic is happening, there's no clear payoff yet, and it's tempting to assume that what you're doing isn't really working.

Instead of another episode about what to do or how to do it better, I slow things down and talk about what sits underneath real, lasting progress. Join me to learn why sustainable progress rarely comes from perfect plans or big overhauls, why the gap between knowing and doing is where so many people get stuck or start doubting themselves, and what it actually takes to keep going when there's no immediate feedback telling you that you're on the right track.
