108. Breaking Free From Your All-or-Nothing Mindset: Why You're Sabotaging Your 2025 Goals (& The Fix)

🚨If you've already "failed" at your 2025 goals (or haven't even set them because you're tired of the cycle), this episode is FOR YOU.

Remember when I almost missed out on precious bounce house moments with my son because I was stuck in "work mode"? That wake-up call showed me how all-or-nothing thinking doesn't just affect our goals - it steals our JOY. And I refuse to let that happen to you!

Chapters:

[1:42] Understanding the All-or-Nothing Mindset

[3:08] Signs that you have the All-or-Nothing Mindset

[8:00] The impact of black-and-white thinking

[14:37] Breaking free from the cycle

[18:58] Journal prompts for self-reflection

In this powerful (but quick!) episode, you'll discover:

  • The sneaky way all-or-nothing thinking is keeping you stuck in overstimulated mom-mode
  • Why "perfect planning" leads to self-sabotage (& what to do instead)
  • How to break free from the "I'll start Monday" cycle
  • A simple mindset shift that changed EVERYTHING for my private clients
  • The #1 journaling technique (with writing prompts) to make progress without the pressure or perfectionism
