Forget New Year’s Resolutions: Focus on Outcomes, Not Rules

Are your goals leaving you frustrated, stuck, or ready to give up when life doesn’t go as planned? In this episode of The Why Me Podcast, Brianna Spurgeon shows you why traditional resolutions and rigid goals often fail (80%, in fact) — and how outcomes-based planning can change everything.

This approach invites creativity, flexibility, and momentum — so even when life throws a wrench in your plans, you can stay on track and make meaningful progress.

Listen in to learn how to ditch limiting rules, embrace adaptability, and design goals that actually work for your life — not against it.

Why do the hardest moments seem to choose us?

In Episode 1 of The Why Me Podcast, host Brianna Spurgeon shares the deeply personal story that sparked the Why Me movement — a health crisis, an unexpected diagnosis, and the moment she stopped asking “Why is this happening to me?” and started asking “What is this shaping me into?”

This episode sets the foundation for the podcast and the movement behind it: honest conversations about the moments we never planned for — the breakdowns, the grief, the diagnoses, the losses, even the unexpected wins— and how those experiences can become catalysts for strength, purpose, and growth.

The Why Me Podcast is a space for real stories, real resilience, and real transformation. In future episodes, Brianna invites guests to share their own Why Me moments — the highs, the lows, and the turning points that changed everything.

If you’ve ever faced something that felt unfair, overwhelming, or life-defining, this podcast is for you.
