You can work all day, check off every box, and still feel behind and it’s not because you’re lazy or unmotivated. It’s because effort doesn’t always equal progress. In this episode of Accountable, I unpack why ambitious, driven people often confuse motion with momentum and what to do when you feel like you’re constantly moving but not getting anywhere.

You’ll learn:
The difference between being busy and being productive
Why clarity, capacity, and commitment (the 3 Cs of my Momentum Method) determine your progress
How to use weekly reflection and tracking to get back on track fast
One powerful question to catch misaligned action before burnout hits

Your Accountable Action: Look at the actions you’ve taken this week. If you repeated them for 100 days, would they get you closer to your goal? If not, it’s time to realign.

What if the rules you’ve been following your whole life…aren’t actually yours?
In this powerful conversation with business strategist and podcaster Holly Haynes, we talk about what it really means to “unravel” from corporate conditioning and create new rules for your business, your schedule, and your life.

Why she left a 22-year corporate career to build a life-first business
The tiny experiments that helped her break free from old patterns
The two questions she asks herself (and her clients) before making any change
How travel, family rhythms, and white space shaped her new definition of success

If you’ve ever felt stuck in old habits, corporate rules, or external labels that no longer fit, this episode will give you permission, and a process, for creating your own.

Your Accountable Action: Ask yourself Holly’s two questions: Where am I feeling the most stressed? And what’s the simplest way I can make it different?

If you’ve ever wondered why making progress feels so difficult, here’s the truth: change is hard because your brain is wired to resist it. In this solo episode, I walk you through the Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Change, a proven framework that explains the 5 stages we all move through when trying to change habits, pursue goals, or rewrite old stories.

You’ll learn:
Why resistance isn’t failure, it’s part of the process
The 5 stages of change (pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance)
Why relapse is normal (and how to “miss it and move on”)
How to identify where you typically get stuck, so you can get the right support
