We’ve all done it.
Started strong. Felt focused. Made a plan.
And then… disappeared on ourselves.
We check out. Drift. Ghost our own goals.
Not because we don’t care.
Not because we’re lazy.
But because somewhere along the way, doing the work stopped feeling desirable.
In this episode, I’m breaking down the real reasons we stop showing up—and how to finally change the pattern.
Because this isn’t just about missing a few days. It’s about rebuilding trust with yourself and learning how to stay—especially when it’s hard.
Why your mindset and your strategy both shape your consistency
The subtle beliefs that make not showing up feel easier
How “eating your emotions” and “self-sabotage” are keeping you vague and stuck
Why you need to practice disappointment (yes, really)
What overstimulation is doing to your focus—and how to reset it
Why showing up at 2% effort still counts (sometimes, it counts more)
You’ll also hear how I use these same principles in my own life—and how we apply them inside The Consistency Course to help people finally stop ghosting their goals.
This is one of those episodes you might want to listen to twice—because we’re not just talking about how to show up today. We’re talking about how to stop disappearing for good.
