Summary
You set the goal. You feel motivated. Two weeks later… it’s stalled. It’s not because you don’t care. In this episode, I sit down with mental performance coach Heather Sumlin to talk about why most fitness goals fail — even for high-achievers. We discuss: • Why motivation was never the problem • How “should” goals sabotage follow-through • Why big goals don’t translate into daily action • How to adjust when life, hormones, or stress get in the way • The mindset shift that actually creates momentum If you’re tired of restarting your goals every season, this conversation will change how you approach fitness entirely.
