You can work all day, check off every box, and still feel behind and it’s not because you’re lazy or unmotivated. It’s because effort doesn’t always equal progress. In this episode of Accountable, I unpack why ambitious, driven people often confuse motion with momentum and what to do when you feel like you’re constantly moving but not getting anywhere.
You’ll learn:
The difference between being busy and being productive
Why clarity, capacity, and commitment (the 3 Cs of my Momentum Method) determine your progress
How to use weekly reflection and tracking to get back on track fast
One powerful question to catch misaligned action before burnout hits
Your Accountable Action: Look at the actions you’ve taken this week. If you repeated them for 100 days, would they get you closer to your goal? If not, it’s time to realign.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
