Reflection Is The First Step To Taking Action!
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.

I emphasize that true growth comes from taking action and not giving up, even when things get tough. I encourage you to pay attention to what’s taking up your mental energy and use it as a sign to take action. The episode ends with me promoting my free audiobook and workbook on the accountability code, inviting you to dive deeper into applying these principles in your own life.

Implementing is when you practice or try something, like brainstorming or writing, but commitment is when you actually finish the task and can prove it’s done. I shared how one of my clients struggled with staying consistent on social media after a group challenge ended, and we realized that making a plan isn’t enough, you have to commit to following through.

She explains how the Accountability Accelerator program helped her shift her mindset, allowing her to view humility not as weakness, but as an honest acceptance of her current situation. Now, instead of feeling guilty for not doing more, Elora focuses on doing what she can within her limited time as a mom, which helps her work with more intention and less stress.
