You’ve got big goals - don’t waste another month spinning your wheels. Come to the live Q&A on May 7 and see exactly how Wealth & Wisdom can help you ditch burnout and build aligned, abundant results ~ [Click Here to Register]
Episode Summary:
In this episode, Rita unpacks why you keep circling the same goals but don’t make real progress—and spoiler alert: it’s not because you’re lazy. It’s because your brain is running old programs designed for survival, not success. Rita explains the psychology behind self-sabotage, introduces her three powerful tools for creating momentum, and invites you to take radical ownership of your focus, identity, and habits—one small step at a time.
Top 5 Takeaways:
- You're not broken—you're running a "competing intention."
- The brain is wired for survival, not success.
- Clarity + Accountability > Hustle.
- Focus creates evidence; evidence rewires belief.
- You don’t rise to the level of your goals—you fall to the level of your patterns.
