In this episode, I’m talking about why goal setting can feel so different in midlife, especially when you’re motivated, ambitious and still somehow finding yourself stuck in that stop-start cycle.
So often, the problem isn’t a lack of discipline. It’s trying to work at a pace that no longer fits your actual life or capacity.
I’m sharing a more sustainable way to approach progress, including my red, amber and green system for adjusting your effort without abandoning your goals.
We’ll also look at self-sabotage, identity, consistency and why progress becomes much easier when you stop expecting yourself to operate at 100% all the time.
