Break the All or Nothing Cycle and Start Gaining Goal Traction

In this episode, I’m talking about why goal setting can feel so different in midlife, especially when you’re motivated, ambitious and still somehow finding yourself stuck in that stop-start cycle. So often, the problem isn’t a lack of discipline. It’s trying to work at a pace that no longer fits your actual life or capacity. I’m sharing a more sustainable way to approach progress, including my red, amber and green system for adjusting your effort without abandoning your goals. We’ll also look at self-sabotage, identity, consistency and why progress becomes much easier when you stop expecting yourself to operate at 100% all the time.
