ou've read the books. You've listened to the podcasts. You know exactly what to do to reach your goals.
So why… are you still not doing it?
If you've ever found yourself saying:
"It's just one little thing — it won't matter."
"I'll start again Monday."
"I don't have the time right now."
…this episode is for you.
Today, we're digging into:
The hidden lies behind your most convincing excuses — and how to call them out in real time.
Why "just a little" always makes a difference (and how to prove it to yourself).
The simple debate-club trick for shutting down an excuse before it derails you.
The fastest way to bounce back after you've drifted — without waiting for the perfect Monday or the perfect mood.
How to create momentum in minutes with "first choice, second choice, third choice."
This isn't about learning more information — it's about using what you already know, breaking the pattern of self-sabotage, and getting back in the driver's seat of your choices.
You don't need to overhaul your life to make progress. You just need to stop letting your excuses call the shots.
LISTEN NOW to learn how to see through your own stories, take back control in the moment, and get back on track faster than you thought possible.
