Are you on a journey or on a mission? There is nothing wrong with being on either one. But it’s good to be clear on which path you are on. If you are on a journey, you are easily moved by distractions. Life is unpredictable so it’s difficult to keep promises to yourself when time gets away from you. However when you are on a mission you have a deep why….and nothing can stop you.
In this powerful episode I share with you the KEY to being consistent and focused on your goals. We talk about the importance of a detailed plan and how to develop the grit to see things through. If you have been struggling with consistency in your fitness goals (or life goals) chances are your “why” needs some work. In this week’s episode, we dig deep into this topic, I also share with you some hilarious outtakes from my audible book!
Topics Discussed:
- Why people quit soon after they begin.
- How your why can keep you going.
- How you can accomplish the mission you want to accomplish.

Her specialties include depression, trauma, PTSD, as well as marriage and relationship issues among others. Brooke’s articles have been featured in Social Work Today, Martha Stewart Weddings and many more.
Brooke believes in circular causality which in essence is the idea that your behavior is both the cause of another’s behavior as well as caused by another’s behavior.

This episode is perfect for those wanting to strengthen their relationships and be more present with those they love.
