Description

Have you ever made a detailed plan to change everything at once, only to find yourself back where you started weeks later? Grand plans often look inspiring, but they rarely hold up in daily life. They demand more than what’s realistic for the season you’re in and leave no room for flexibility when life gets in the way.

 

In this episode, I explore three key reasons why ambitious plans often fail and why starting small is the true key to sustainable change. You’ll learn how perfectionism, impatience, and the belief that small steps mean weakness keep you in cycles of all-or-nothing effort. I’ll share a simple, practical approach to goal-setting that helps you stay consistent and build trust with yourself over time.
