Finding Me with Josh Wolf
Small Wins, Big Momentum

What if the problem isn’t your discipline…

What if the problem is your expectations?

In this episode of Finding Me, Josh takes a hard (and very funny) look at the way we set goals — and why aiming too high, too fast, too soon might be the very thing keeping us stuck.

Because nothing kills motivation like feeling like a failure before you’ve even had a chance to succeed.

Josh explores the power of setting achievable goals — the kind that build momentum instead of crushing it.

In this episode, he talks about:

  • Why massive, “life overhaul” goals often backfire

  • The psychology behind small wins and confidence-building

  • How success is less about intensity… and more about consistency

  • The simple mindset shift that helps you set yourself up to win

    It’s practical, honest, and exactly the kind of perspective that makes change feel possible instead of overwhelming.

    Then Josh takes us deep into the creative weeds — and this is where things get hilariously specific.

    He shares:

    • How he chooses the topics for his comedy songs

    • Where ideas actually come from (hint: not inspiration… irritation)

    • His real writing process — from first spark to finished bit

    • How he tests whether something is actually funny

    • The strange balance between structure, instinct, and total chaos

      If you’ve ever wondered how comedy gets made — or how a ridiculous idea becomes a fully formed song — this episode is a rare and funny peek behind the curtain.

      Creative process, insecurity, trial and error… and a lot of laughs along the way.

      • You’re tired of setting goals you never stick to

      • You feel discouraged when motivation fades

      • You want a more realistic way to build habits and momentum

      • You’re curious about the real, messy process behind comedy and creativity

        Because growth doesn’t come from punishing yourself.

        It comes from stacking small wins… until they turn into something bigger.

        And keep showing up — one small win at a time.

        Because sometimes the best way to change your life…

        is to make it easier to succeed today.
