Use Desperation to Your Advantage and Be Extreme.... Sometimes
In this episode, I reflect on my tendency to take extreme actions, like moving across the country or downsizing my living space, to achieve my goals. Despite recognizing that such extremes may not always be healthy, I value the lessons learned and the strength gained from these experiences. The episode emphasizes the importance of finding a balance between taking significant actions and maintaining boundaries.
I also recount my childhood and adult experiences with living in large homes and the challenges of managing clutter. I talk about the relief I felt after moving into smaller spaces and how it helped me realize the importance of minimalism. The episode touches on how past experiences and upbringing influence one's approach to life and decluttering. I encourage listeners to understand their motivations and make conscious choices without resorting to extreme measures unless necessary.

In this episode, I talked about the fifth step of the accountability code, commitment—and how it’s different from just taking action or implementing ideas. Implementing is when you practice or try something, like brainstorming or writing, but commitment is when you actually finish the task and can prove it’s done. I shared how one of my clients struggled with staying consistent on social media after a group challenge ended, and we realized that making a plan isn’t enough, you have to commit to following through.
