239. Necessary Work: Building the Muscle to Achieve Your Goals
What if the key to achieving your goals isn't about constantly chasing motivation or excitement, but about doing the work when it feels slow, boring, or difficult? In today's episode, I'm diving into what I call necessary work: those tasks that might not feel glamorous but are crucial to reaching your goals. Whether you're a goal-setting enthusiast or someone who tends to avoid setting them, this episode will show you why embracing this phase is essential for your success. At the start of any goal, there’s usually a surge of excitement, the rush of commitment, and a sense of possibility. But that energy doesn't last forever, and this is where most people stumble. Necessary work is the phase when enthusiasm fades and you're left with the real tasks, those repetitive, unexciting, often tedious actions that lead you to your destination. It’s in this phase where many goals succeed or fail, and it's all about showing up, even when it’s not fun, to build the muscle that gets you where you want to go.

237. Stop Waiting for Perfect Timing to Get Help
Have you ever found yourself thinking you need to wait until things calm down before you can ask for help? Whether it’s a big life change, a new job, or an intense project, we often convince ourselves that we’re not deserving of support until we’ve made it through the storm. I noticed this theme pop up during my recent membership launch, and it completely shifted how I think about receiving support. In this episode, I’ll break down why waiting until the chaos subsides to get help is actually a form of perfectionism. I’ll show you why receiving support during challenging times can lead to the biggest breakthroughs and how to spot this pattern when it shows up in your own life.

What if you could believe in yourself, not just on the sunny days, but also when life feels uncertain? In today’s episode, we’re diving into the power of self-belief and how to cultivate it, no matter what’s happening around you. It’s easy to feel confident when everything is going well, but what happens when the tide turns? Can you maintain belief in yourself during the stormy times? Self-belief built solely on external praise or past achievements is fragile. It’s like building a sandcastle on the shore — it might stand tall for a moment, but the next wave can knock it down. True self-belief is about developing resilience, so no matter the conditions, you can stand firm. In this episode, I’ll show you how to strengthen your belief in yourself, even when life feels unpredictable or challenging.
