Have you ever started an all-or-nothing challenge like 75 Hard—only to “fail” after missing a single day and lose all motivation? You’re not alone. In this episode of Clear & On Purpose, I share why rigid streak-based challenges don’t work for most people and what to do instead.

I’ll take you inside my own experiences with running streaks, fitness programs, and habit challenges—and show you the sustainable framework I use now, called the Momentum Method. This approach is about progress over perfection, building self-trust, and creating rhythms you can actually stick with.

Whether you’re working on your health, growing your business, or simply trying to live more intentionally, this episode will give you practical tools and mindset shifts to move forward without burning out.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • Why 75 Hard and other all-or-nothing challenges often fail.
  • How rigid streaks reinforce negative self-talk and stall progress.
  • The difference between perfection-based challenges vs. flexible, sustainable ones.
  • How to use milestones and mini-challenges to stay motivated.
  • What the Momentum Method is and how it helps you build long-term habits.
