A person wearing a blindfold while trying to navigate a room

You Know What to Do. So Why Aren't You Reaching Your Goals?

August 19, 20263 min read

I was looking through some old photos recently and came across a few from my bachelorette party.

At some point in the evening, we played a VERY not-PG version of Pin the Tail on the Donkey.

I'll let your imagination fill in the details of what exactly we were pinning where. 🙈😂

Besides bringing back some great memories, those pictures had me thinking...

Pin the Tail on the Donkey is actually a pretty good metaphor for the challenge a lot of women face when trying to change their habits.

Think about how the game works.

You know exactly what you're trying to do.

Get the tail on the donkey.

You even know where the donkey is before you start.

But then someone puts a blindfold on you.

Spins you around a few times.

And suddenly you're disoriented and trying to find your way toward something you could see perfectly well a minute ago.

You might walk in the right direction.

You might walk straight toward a wall.

You might end up on the complete opposite side of the room.

You don't know.

Because you can't see what's between you and where you're trying to go.

And that's what trying to build consistent, healthy habits can feel like.

You know where you're trying to go.

You want to be stronger, more energetic, happier, more confident.

And you probably have a pretty good idea of what would help you get there.

You know you need to exercise, sleep more, eat your vegetables, manage your stress better.

Yet you still struggle to "pin the tail on the donkey".

Because even though you know where you want to go and the steps that should help you get there...

You can't always see what's getting between you and the "donkey."

(The donkey is your goal in case this metaphor isn't clear 😜)

And because you can't see those things clearly, you take your best guess at what to do differently.

Maybe I need a stricter schedule.

Maybe I need a different meal plan.

Maybe I need a habit tracker.

Maybe I need more motivation.

Maybe I just need to try harder.

Sometimes those guesses work.

You wander around for a bit and somehow end up pretty close to the "donkey".

But if you don't know how you got there, you'll struggle to recreate that success in the future.

And when your guess DOESN'T work?

You find yourself spinning in circles again,

Hoping this time you'll have better luck.

But you're still working with the same problem:

You can't clearly see what's getting in your way.

And it's really difficult to choose the right solution when you don't understand the problem you're trying to solve.

That's where The Follow-Through Fix comes in.

Think of it as taking off the blindfold.

First, you'll tell me about the top three healthy habits you're struggling to follow through on.

Then, you'll complete a comprehensive assessment designed to uncover what's getting between you and consistent action.

Finally, I'll review your responses and create a personalized coaching video with tailored feedback and a customized action plan that helps you zero in on where to put your focus first.

So instead of spinning in circles and continuing to guess at what might help...

You'll be able to clearly see what's getting in your way and exactly what to do about it.

This level of personalized guidance is normally reserved for my one-on-one coaching clients.

But for a limited time, you'll get it for just $47.

And if you join by August 27th, you'll also receive 30 days of accountability support at no additional cost.

Because seeing what's in your way is important.

But having support while you learn how to navigate those obstacles can make it a whole lot easier to keep moving forward.

This bonus alone is worth well over five times the cost of the program.

Enrollment isn't open just yet, but it will be soon.

And because I'll be personally providing that 30 days of support, spots will be limited.
