In this podcast episode, I share my excitement about my upcoming eight-week program and emphasize the importance of accountability in personal development. I discuss how my coaching approach has evolved after hiring a coach to refine my messaging.

I believe both types need accountability to achieve their goals.

I encourage listeners to consider their motivations for seeking accountability, whether to overcome resistance or to boost their enthusiasm for personal growth. By sharing my experiences and insights, I stress the value of support in reaching goals while promoting my upcoming program.
