A new year brings fresh energy, new goals… and that beautiful feeling that this time it’s going to stick.

But here’s the truth most people don’t realize until it’s too late: motivation is a great start… and a terrible plan.

Because there’s a predictable moment coming when the newness wears off, progress slows down, and your brain starts negotiating for comfort. And if you don’t plan for it now, it can quietly derail the very goals you’re excited about today.

In this episode, Jeannette shares a vulnerable story about learning to preach with confidence, how anxiety, slow progress, and self-doubt nearly convinced her to quit… and why staying with the process changed everything. You’ll learn

Why the “messy middle” is normal and what it means when it shows up

The brain science behind why change feels clumsy and exhausting

The 4 stages of competence (and how to know which stage you’re in)

How to set a minimum commitment so you don’t quit before breakthrough

If you’re pursuing a health goal, building a volunteer team, setting boundaries, using your voice more, or leading organizational change this episode will help you stay steady when it gets hard.
