If you’ve ever been halfway up a goal and found yourself climbing back down to “pick a better trail,” this one’s for you. 

We’re revisiting the mountain story that so many of you loved in my Brave Little Things Newsletter- and adding the deeper layer I didn’t include the first time.

In plain language, we’re talking about why we start/stop/start/stop…and how to actually stay.

You’ll hear about:

• The stop–go loop: why second-guessing feels smart in the moment but quietly erodes self-trust.
• The “right path” myth: there isn’t a perfect trail, there’s the one you make right. (My coach’s line I live by.)
• Identity > strategy: you’re not just hiking to a goal; you’re hiking with yourself. The summit is built inside you by all the moments you don’t abandon yourself.
• A simple “stay” protocol to try this week:
  • Pick your "trail" and set a no-switch window (e.g., 30 days).
  • Name what will likely get hard and decide how you’ll respond before you’re in it.
  • Keep a tiny evidence log of staying (one sentence a day).

Reflection prompts to take with you:

• Where am I climbing back down out of habit?
• What’s my no-switch window for the next two weeks?
• Who am I becoming by staying on this trail?

If you’re ready to go deeper and actually rewire this pattern so staying becomes your default, this is the work we do in my six-month VIP coaching container.
