Episode 28: Stop Hitting the Same Brick Wall

This episode was originally recorded as the start of a new year and a new season of Hitting Rock Middle. The framing is timestamped, but the underlying question isn't: how do you actually work smarter instead of harder, and what does it look like to stop running yourself into the ground for results that aren't even what you said you wanted in the first place? If you've been wearing yourself out daily, hitting the same brick wall over and over, or quietly suspecting that more effort is no longer the answer to whatever you're trying to fix — this is the conversation to listen to. In this solo episode, I walk through how setting intentions (the real kind, not the vision-board kind) can fundamentally change the way you experience your work and your life. The shift isn't about doing less. It's about choosing what you're aiming at, on purpose, before the day starts spending you. You don't need a new year to do this. You just need a starting line, and today is as good as any. This episode originally aired on Hitting Rock Middle, the show that has since evolved into The Sallie Ogden Show. About the show: The Sallie Ogden Show is for the woman who's already built something — and is stuck at the plateau where the old playbook stops working. Tactical when you need a number. Honest when you need a mirror. Hosted by former lawyer turned consultant Sallie Ogden.
