You set the goal. You feel motivated. Two weeks later… it’s stalled.

It’s not because you don’t care.

In this episode, I sit down with mental performance coach Heather Sumlin to talk about why most fitness goals fail — even for high-achievers.

We discuss:

• Why motivation was never the problem

• How “should” goals sabotage follow-through

• Why big goals don’t translate into daily action

• How to adjust when life, hormones, or stress get in the way

• The mindset shift that actually creates momentum

If you’re tired of restarting your goals every season, this conversation will change how you approach fitness entirely.
