In this episode, Megan dives into the practical side of goal achievement — not from a place of hustle or willpower, but from a place most people overlook entirely: how it feels.

Building on the belief work from episode 216, Megan explains why goals that rely solely on discipline and grit are so hard to sustain — and how learning to work with your feelings instead of against them makes progress easier, more consistent, and far less exhausting.

She breaks down the difference between goals you actually want to do and goals where you only want the result, and why clarity here matters more than motivation ever will. From there, she offers a simple, actionable framework for moving forward even when you don’t know how everything will work out yet.

Through real-life examples — from decluttering her home to planning a major move — Megan shows how creating the right kinds of task lists, question lists, and daily choices can quiet mental overwhelm, create momentum, and make follow-through feel doable.

At the heart of the episode are two powerful questions that can change how you approach any goal:
What will feel good to do?
What will feel good to have done?

This episode is an invitation to stop relying on willpower, stop barreling through resistance, and start designing your goals in a way that actually supports you.

You’ll learn:

  • Why goals you don’t truly want are an uphill battle from the start

  • The difference between wanting the path and wanting the result

  • How to build task lists that create momentum instead of overwhelm

  • Why getting everything out of your head and onto paper quiets anxiety

  • How progress is often about feeling, not force

  • The role emotion plays in procrastination and follow-through

  • How to move forward even when you don’t know all the steps yet

  • Why sustainability matters more than intensity

    This episode is a reminder that you don’t need more willpower — you need a better way to work with yourself. When your goals feel supportive instead of punishing, follow-through becomes natural.

    From Impossible to Inevitable is now Breakthrough Mode. We're shifting out of cruise control and into Breakthrough Mode!
