Reflection Is The First Step To Taking Action!
In this episode, I talk about the role of reflection in the accountability code, sharing a personal story from my book, Doubt Yourself No More. I reflect on trying out for cheerleading in high school, initially to prove a point, but later realizing how reflection evolves when you take action. I explain that reflection is about thinking through your goals, values, and challenges, and as you act on them, your reflection changes, helping you grow and build confidence. This process helps you become more accountable and stay focused on your goals.

I emphasize that true growth comes from taking action and not giving up, even when things get tough. I encourage you to pay attention to what’s taking up your mental energy and use it as a sign to take action. The episode ends with me promoting my free audiobook and workbook on the accountability code, inviting you to dive deeper into applying these principles in your own life.

In this episode, I talk about balancing authenticity and professionalism, especially when showing up on social media and in business.

I want people to know it’s okay to show up as they are, and that trying to be perfect can often stop us from taking action. I also share a personal story from when I first started making YouTube videos and how being visible and real online helped me grow my business.
