Ep. 93 - The Role of Accountability in Your Health Journey
Description
Most people think their health goals fail because they “lack willpower.” In reality, it’s often accountability that’s missing.
In this episode, I dive into why accountability matters more than motivation when it comes to lasting change in your health journey. From nutrition to training to recovery, accountability is the bridge between knowing what to do and actually following through.
You’ll learn:
The difference between external accountability (coaches, communities, check-ins) and internal accountability (self-awareness, values, routines).
How accountability builds awareness, strengthens follow-through, and combats the “forgetting” that derails consistency.
Real client stories that show how accountability works in practice — and what happens when it’s missing.
Pitfalls to avoid, like relying too heavily on others or slipping into shame and perfectionism.
Simple, practical ways to create accountability in your own health journey starting today.
At the end, I’ll challenge you to choose one habit to apply accountability to — and then message me on Instagram @coachdianaleigh or email me at coachdianaleigh@gmail.com to create your own layer of external accountability.
