💬 Episode Summary:

If you’ve ever set a goal with genuine excitement—only to slowly drift away from it—you are not alone. In this episode, Trisha breaks down the most common reasons people fail to reach their goals and shares the mindset shift that changes everything.

From cherry-picking parts of a plan to underestimating what’s really required, this episode offers clarity, grace, and actionable truth to help you reset and move forward. Because the problem isn’t that you’re lazy—it’s that no one ever taught you how to follow through.

🌟 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

Why having a goal is not enough (and what’s often missing)
The difference between desire and discipline
What happens when we avoid the uncomfortable parts of the plan
How to shift your focus from the outcome to the daily process
What to do if you’ve fallen off track (without beating yourself up)

✏️ Reflection Questions:

Where in your life are you setting goals without following through?
What parts of your plan are you avoiding or skipping?
How might your results change if you committed fully to the process?
