Help Me Understand

231. When and why you need to "know your why"


Listen Later

If you’ve ever set a goal and then lost steam a few weeks in, this episode is for you.


Today, I’m digging into the phrase “know your why” (a phrase you’ve probably heard a hundred times), and giving it some real-life context.


Not the quote-on-a-wall version, but the version that actually matters when your motivation dips, your routine gets thrown off, or the progress starts to slow down.


Here’s what we get into:

  • - The point in your journey when your “why” actually starts to matter

  • - Why it doesn’t have to sound deep or inspiring to be meaningful

  • - A red flag to look out for when a coach challenges your reason for starting

  • - A few real-life examples, including a familiar late-night nutrition dilemma

  • - The reset questions I use in coaching when clients feel like they’re slipping


  • There's no pressure to have it all figured out. Just start with something that makes sense to you, even if it’s just for today.
