In this episode, we talk about why progress feels discouraging even when you’re doing the work. We explore the difference between focusing on how far you still want to go versus how far you’ve already come, why moving goal posts drains motivation, and how shifting focus restores pride and momentum. We'll cover:
• Why progress often feels unsatisfying
• How shifting focus changes motivation
• What happens when goals keep moving
• How to rebuild pride in effort

It's called Do More, Stress Less, and it gives you personalized productivity coaching every single day, based on the same frameworks I use with my clients at Google, Lyft, Workday, and more. No cookie-cutter advice, no rigid rules. Just a system built around your brain, your goals, and your life.

Who's really being coached? You, or your brain? Or are they the same? In today's episode, I'm sharing a super interesting conversation I had with Dominika Staniewicz (https://yourbraincoachd.com/) an internationally acclaimed Brain Coach, and leadership neuroscience expert, who equips leaders and organizations with science-backed tools to thrive.

With nearly two decades of global experience across six continents, she merges cutting-edge brain science with real-world business strategies to enhance performance, emotional intelligence, and decision-making.

A bestselling author and award-winning advisor, Dominika has shaped national workforce policies, guided C-suite executives, and advised the President of Poland. And now, you get access to her brain too.
