Ep. 191: When “Someday” Is Keeping You Stuck

Send us Fan MailHave you ever found yourself replaying what happened, thinking about what someone else did, or wishing you had made different choices?I realized this week that I was doing exactly that.I’ve spent years talking about taking responsibility for my life, but I had to admit that I was missing an important next step: accountability.In this episode, I talk about the difference between responsibility and accountability, and how blame—even when our feelings are completely valid—can keep us looking backward instead of building our future.I share what this realization looked like in my own life as I navigate changes in my income, decisions about my home, upcoming surgery, and a lot of uncertainty about what comes next.But I also talk about something I’ve learned over and over again: accountability doesn’t mean punishing ourselves or having all the answers. Sometimes it simply means taking one small step.One phone call. One decision. One conversation. One five-minute action.I also share my “Maybe I Can” list—a list I keep on my phone of all the difficult things I once thought I would never survive. Looking back at that list reminds me that I’ve done hard things before, and I can do hard things again.So if you’re feeling stuck, I want you to ask yourself:“What would accountability look like for me today?”Maybe that’s where change begins.Let’s take that next step together. ❤️Support the show🌸✨ WELCOME — START HERE ✨🌸 (Consider this your gentle nudge toward something new.)💖 NEW!
