Accountability Is Accepting Yourself So Others Can Accept You As Well
In this episode, I talk about setting boundaries with my mother-in-law, who often asks for help. I realized that by always saying "yes," I created a pattern where people relied on me too much. Accountability means recognizing these habits and making changes by setting limits to prioritize my well-being.
I encourage you to reflect on your own life and relationships. If you're feeling overwhelmed or disrespected, personal accountability can help you shift those dynamics. By changing your habits, you can change how others treat you. I'm here to support you with my accountability code if you're unsure where to start.

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.
