'Stop Trying' and Start DOING! Hear my chat with motivational speaker & author Carla Ondrasik

According to author and motivational speaker Carla Ondrasik, if you feel like you’re spinning your wheels and falling short of your goals, the problem isn't that you're not trying hard enough—it's that you're trying at all. Carla knows a thing or two about getting things done. She was a powerhouse in the music industry, serving as the former vice president of Creative Writer Development for EMI Music. She helped bring hit songs to life for icons like Barbra Streisand, Cher, Mariah Carey, and Christina Aguilera, and even discovered, signed, and developed her own husband, musical artist John Ondrasik aka Five for Fighting.In her new book, "Stop Trying! The Life-Transforming Power of Trying Less and Doing More", Ondrasik reveals the hidden science behind why a mindset built on "trying" can lead to anxiety, procrastination, and a fear of failure. It's an evolutionary guide to help you transform from a life of trying to a life of doing.Aired September 21, 2025: In this podcast, Lisa Foxx talks to her friend Carla Ondrasik about getting the word 'TRY' OUT OF OUR LIVES!
