328 // The Myth of Accountability

You’ve heard it a million times: “Get an accountability partner.” “Just have someone check in on you.” But here’s the truth...

Accountability without ownership is just babysitting. And that won’t lead to lasting change—it’ll just keep you spinning in guilt, people-pleasing, and surface-level progress.

In this episode of Set Free Sisterhood, I’m breaking down:

• The common (and harmful) misunderstanding about what accountability really is

• Why relying on external check-ins can keep you stuck

• What real accountability looks like—and how it builds self-trust

• How to shift from blame and excuses into powerful, grace-filled ownership

If you’ve been saying you want change but keep falling back into old patterns... this episode will call you out and call you up.
