About this listen

In this episode of Better Said Than Written, host Tamika Cody reflects on a single line that stopped her in her tracks: “There are two sources of goals: goals created out of inspiration and goals created out of desperation.” The quote comes from chapter nine of Don't Believe Everything You Think by Joseph Nguyen, a book that gained widespread attention in 2024. What begins as a quiet reflection turns personal. Tamika revisits a vulnerable journal entry she once shared publicly, recorded just weeks before losing her dream job. In hindsight, she recognizes how desperation shaped the goals she was holding onto and how clarity arrived not through achievement, but through release. This episode invites you to pause and answer the following question honestly: Are the goals you’re chasing rooted in inspiration, or in fear? Feel free to reach out with your answers. https://www.tamikacody.com/contact
