🎙️ Episode 179: Commitment, Consistency, & the Real Work of Change

It’s easy to make a resolution. Staying with it is the real work.

This week I’m sharing a real example from my own life: What I am learning about change through recommitting to my fitness routine and realizing what it actually takes to follow through on change. This is a real reflection on how it’s going, what gets in the way and keeps me moving towards my goal. I know you’ll relate. 

We talk about what helps change stick: making clear agreements with yourself, reducing decision fatigue, leaning on community, and tracking what’s actually happening instead of relying on motivation. And what to do when you look at your planner and realize your “pretty consistent” habits aren’t as consistent as you thought.

Hear about my new Clarity Sessions and the upcoming Your Next Chapter immersion, and why learning how you personally move through change might be one of the most valuable skills you can develop.

If you’ve been trying to change something in your life but keep starting over, this episode will help you get honest, practical, and moving again.

3 Things You’ll Take Away:

1. Clarity about what you’re actually committing to
2. Vague intentions rarely create change. Clear agreements with yourself do.
3. What actually helps you follow through
4. Accountability, structure, and removing extra decisions make habits much easier to keep.
5. Progress without beating yourself up
6. Track what’s real, experiment a little, and adjust when life inevitably interrupts your plans.
