Use Desperation to Your Advantage and Be Extreme.... Sometimes
In this episode, I reflect on my tendency to take extreme actions, like moving across the country or downsizing my living space, to achieve my goals. Despite recognizing that such extremes may not always be healthy, I value the lessons learned and the strength gained from these experiences. The episode emphasizes the importance of finding a balance between taking significant actions and maintaining boundaries.
I also recount my childhood and adult experiences with living in large homes and the challenges of managing clutter. I talk about the relief I felt after moving into smaller spaces and how it helped me realize the importance of minimalism. The episode touches on how past experiences and upbringing influence one's approach to life and decluttering. I encourage listeners to understand their motivations and make conscious choices without resorting to extreme measures unless necessary.

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.

In this episode, I talked about accountability and why traditional plans don’t always work. I shared personal experiences, like writing my book and learning to adjust plans to fit my own needs. 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.
