Sharing Successes Builds Confidence and Increases Support with Farzaneh Barker
In this episode, I chat with my amazing mother-in-law, Farzaneh Barker, about her life experiences and the values she’s passed on to me. She shares how she first saw me as a "sunshine" and talks about her education in Iran, India, and the U.S.
Farzaneh encouraged me to pursue a degree for its life validation, even though I was initially hesitant. She also talks about the joy of seeing her children succeed and how that brings her fulfillment.
We also discuss her views on money, accountability, and parenting. Farzaneh emphasizes being true to yourself, learning from others, and facing life’s challenges with patience and accountability.

In this episode, I talk about the role of reflection in the accountability code, sharing a personal story from my book, Doubt Yourself No More. I reflect on trying out for cheerleading in high school, initially to prove a point, but later realizing how reflection evolves when you take action. I explain that reflection is about thinking through your goals, values, and challenges, and as you act on them, your reflection changes, helping you grow and build confidence. This process helps you become more accountable and stay focused on your goals.

In this episode, I share how to set a clear eight-week goal using the Accountability Code, a framework designed to help you take action. Many people struggle with defining their focus, so I walk through six key steps: reflection (identifying your goal), humility (recognizing what’s holding you back), planning (creating a roadmap), implementing (taking action), commitment (declaring your goal), and feedback (evaluating progress). The Accountability Accelerator provides structure and support to help participants stay on track, but even if you're not in the program, you can still apply these steps to make real progress.

I also highlighted stories from my clients, like Kim, who successfully hosted events by adapting the accountability code, and Susan, who realized she needed to trust herself more to improve her business. The key takeaway is that being accountable isn’t about following a rigid plan, it’s about adjusting and taking action in a way that works for you.
