72. Your Future Self Starts Here: How to Build the Bridge Between Intention and Action

You don’t need more motivation — you need a framework that connects your intentions to your actions. In this episode, Jess introduces The BRIDGE Framework, the evidence-based process she uses with coaching clients to help them close the gap between who they are now and who they want to become. Part mindset, part structure, all sturdiness — this is the episode you’ll come back to any time you feel stuck or need a reset. We’ll cover: The six pillars of the BRIDGE Framework and how to apply them in real life Why clarity and self-efficacy matter more than motivation How to use the minimum effective dose to create consistent progress What it means to collect “proof” instead of chasing perfection How to evolve your goals with curiosity instead of self-criticism References: Episode 9 of Sturdy Girl on finding your core values Link to download Core Value Worksheet Link to download BRIDGE Workbook Hershfield, H.
