The Story and Challenges behind The Accountability Code

The Story and Challenges behind The Accountability Code

In this podcast episode, I reflect on my experience creating the Accountability Code, a framework for being accountable and achieving goals. I share the story of how I initially resisted the idea of writing a book but eventually embraced the challenge.

I discuss the six steps of the Accountability Code: Reflection, Humility, Planning, Implementing, Commitment, and Feedback. I illustrate the importance of these steps through my personal journey of overcoming challenges, including writing the book during a trip to Guatemala, contracting COVID, and facing difficulties with the publishing process. I also emphasize that accountability is about doing what you know you should do and not necessarily what others expect of you.

Jessica

With just a 2 pound weight difference after 4 weeks, Jessica was estatic about her progress because look at the difference! She learned how to eat better, release stress, and gain confidence in not just her looks but her abilities too!

Erin

Having babies takes a toll on our bodies that’s for sure. With the Body Sculpting Challenge, you’ll learn how to properly engage your core with EVERY SINGLE EXERCISE you do. You’ll have a tighter, more toned core after just 4 weeks.

Jessica W.

Jessica surprised our whole community with her quick transformation. Due to health limitations she wasn’t able to exercise so she solely focused on her nutrition and guess what? She allowed herself to be the boss! She learned just how powerful our food is!

G. A.

A busy homeschooling mom of 6 exercised smarter, not harder (or longer or even everyday either). She followed my direction to exercise with a plan so her entire body could benefit. No more staring at a busy gym and wondering what to do!

Stephanie

Would you believe her "2017" picture was at 4 years post-partum with her 2nd baby and her “2019” picture was just 9 months post-partum with her 3rd baby? Steph is the perfect example of what a Fun and Sustainable lifestyle looks like. Learn the habit hacks that will work for you over and over no matter what life throws at you.

ME (Marci)

My own transformation has been mostly mental. Sadly I tried so many diets out there only to find that my mind was not in the right place so the physical results never really mattered. Once I learned how to really connect my mind and body I realized that living a fun and sustainable lifestyle trumps what you look like. You can love yourself NO MATTER WHAT!

Jessica

Each person holds their weight differently but no matter what you’ve been born with you can find a way to make your nutrition and movement work for you!

Liz

Nothing makes a transformation look more amazing than confidence! Abs don’t hurt but the coolest part about Liz’s story is that she’s able to keep up with her busy lifestyle as a teacher and mother. Not only does she handle it well she knows without a doubt how dang good she looks!
