Summary

In this episode, we’re diving into the magic of commitment and how just taking that first step can totally change your life. Inspired by a recent chat with a friend, I’m sharing an incredible story about her mother-in-law. This awesome lady signed up for a group bike trip in Portugal and a hiking adventure in Machu Picchu before she was even ready. Talk about fearless!

We’ll explore how committing to something before you feel prepared can push you to reach your goals. Whether it’s a fitness challenge, a new hobby, or a big life change, making that commitment creates accountability and urgency, helping you tackle fears and doubts.

Join me as I share my own stories, like running a race three months after having a baby. (Spoiler: It wasn’t easy, but it was SO worth it!) We’ll talk about the power of setting a date, making a public declaration, and stepping out of our comfort zones.

In today’s episode, you’ll hear about:

How committing before you're ready can nudge you toward your goals
The magic of creating accountability and urgency in your commitments
Easy tips on how to start small and build up to bigger challenges

Ready to take the leap and transform your life? Tune in and let’s discover how the power of commitment can make all the difference.

And don’t forget to grab my free guide, "75 Things You Can Declutter Today," packed with super easy tips to make immediate progress in your home.
