Today, we talk about all things accountability. What actually is it? What does it mean? How can we keep ourselves accountable and take responsibility without trying to bully ourselves into change? Because we all know that doesn’t work.

We walk you through a grounding technique to help you literally get out of your head for a few seconds if you’re upset or in a swirl about something, so you can then make an informed, assertive decision that will both align with your goals and make you proud.

We chat about how good coaches don’t want you as a client forever, because they want to teach you how to create a lifestyle you love and can sustain. We talk about the difference between babysitting and accountability, accountability partners, the power of the pause, assertive decision making, the role of a coach and a client when it comes to accountability, and taking radical ownership of our actions.

We also talk in depth about one of the most common things we see – “my partner [or insert loved one] isn’t doing this with me, what do I do?” How to have a conversation when you want to make some changes and they don’t necessarily, how to do your thang when they’re not on the same page…

And so much more.

“In order to make you develop these habits and make this a lifestyle, you have to learn to take ownership of your actions and inactions.”

- Brooke

“The answers are in you. That’s not going to Google a million things and going down that whole rabbit hole of nonsense we all know the internet is when it comes to health and fitness... it’s really looking at your mind, your thought processes, your desired outcome goals, and the actions you’re taking to get there.”

– Iris
