In this episode of WORDS MATTER, Deanna Ley, The Catalytic Coach, explores the powerful phrases “One day at a time” and “One step at a time”.
These simple yet profound reminders help us stay present and focused while encouraging small, meaningful actions that create progress. Deanna introduces her daily reflection practice - ACE the Day - as a way to anchor ourselves in the moment and build momentum for growth.

This episode invites listeners to embrace the present, find joy in the journey, and trust that every small step forward matters.

What Listeners Will Learn:

• ONE DAY AT A TIME grounds us in the present moment.
• ONE STEP AT A TIME encourages taking small, actionable steps forward.
• How combining these ideas creates a rhythm for steady progress.
• Why life’s journey is rarely a straight path but always worth the effort.
• The importance of appreciating the here and now while trusting that each step matters.
• How ACE the Day (Accomplishments, Challenges, Excitements) can transform daily reflection into a foundation for growth.
• Why words—especially the ones we say to ourselves—truly matter.

Memorable Quotes:

• “One day at a time grounds us in the now. One step at a time moves us forward.”
• “You don’t have to take on the whole mountain at once—just focus on the next step.”
• “Growth happens step by step, day by day.”

This episode encourages listeners to honor where they are, embrace the present moment, and trust that each step forward brings them closer to their Possible.
