1305: Your Excuses Are Winning — Here’s How to Fight Back
Manage episode 483301061 series 89543
Ever feel like you're arguing with yourself all day long — about getting up early, skipping the snack, following through — and somehow, the wrong voice keeps winning?
You're not broken. You're just unprepared.
In this episode, I’m bringing you inside the debate team that’s happening inside your head every day — and breaking down why your internal arguments are falling flat... and what to do about it.
If you showed up to debate class with the kinds of excuses and one-liners you use on yourself — you'd get crushed. So why are you trying to win the battle for your goals that way?
We’ll talk about:
The 4 major ways we drop the ball in our internal decision-making
Why “I said I would” isn’t strong enough to beat a craving
How to build a better case for the choices that move you forward
Real-life examples (goldfish snacks, alarms, girls’ night wine — we’re going there)
What conviction, energy, and preparation actually sound like
If you’ve been stuck in a cycle of “I know better but I don’t do better,” this episode is going to feel like a mirror, a wake-up call, and a strategy session — all in one.
💥 Ready to Build a Stronger Case in Your Life?This is the kind of work we do every single day inside The Consistency Course.
We don’t just talk about what you should do — we teach you how to follow through. We work together on:
Building the identity you want
Creating real, sustainable momentum
Ending the start-over cycle
Learning to signal, not spiral
TCC isn’t another plan. It’s a practice. It’s where we build consistency from the inside out — with tools, coaching, and real accountability.
