Why You Keep Hitting Snooze on Your Dreams (and How to Finally Stop)

I need to ask you something honest: How many times have you set a goal, felt excited about it, maybe even started taking action... only to find yourself back at square one a few weeks later?

In my latest mini episode of Don't Step on the Bluebells, Closing the Gap Between Wanting & Doing, I'm diving deep into one of the most frustrating patterns we all face - the maddening gap between what we say we want and what we actually do.

You know that feeling, right? When your alarm goes off for that early morning workout and you hit snooze instead. When you plan to attend networking events but somehow never find the time. When you know exactly what you should be doing to reach your goals but just... don't do it.

If you've ever:

  • Set the same goal multiple times only to abandon it again and again

  • Felt frustrated by your own lack of "willpower" or "motivation"

  • Wondered why other people seem to follow through while you struggle

  • Suspected there's something deeper blocking you from the life you want

  • Found yourself stuck in cycles of starting and stopping

...this episode will completely shift how you think about commitment and change.

You'll discover:

  • Why the problem isn't willpower—it's fear (and what you're really afraid of)

  • My four-question framework that exposes exactly what's keeping you stuck

  • How to distinguish between what you think you want vs. what you actually want

  • The counterintuitive way to make goals easier by reducing friction

  • Why commitment is a choice, not a feeling that magically appears

Here's what hit me hardest while recording this episode:

"Most people are afraid to fully commit. They might dip a toe in, they might try it out for a couple of days or even a couple of weeks, but they're not really fully committed and not really going all in."

The truth? When you fully commit and go all in, you're sending a powerful message to yourself and the universe that you're ready for change. And that's when everything shifts.

If you’re anything like me - this is something you’ve struggled with and this episode will help you see what needs to shift. Hit reply and let me know how you get on with it.
