About this listen
In today’s episode, I’m digging into one tiny word that seems innocent but sneaks its way into our goals, our relationships, our parenting, our businesses — and quietly holds us back: “trying.”
I share a few stories (including the Central Park tennis-ball mama, a birth-pool moment where I finally snapped at my husband, and some honest coaching from a client in a relationship spiral) that show how “I’m trying” keeps us hovering in hesitation instead of stepping into real commitment.
We talk about why the words you use matter, how to notice when “trying” is actually code for “I haven’t decided yet,” and what it looks like to shift into 100% commitment — even when it’s messy and imperfect.
If you’ve been feeling stuck, wobbly, or half-in/half-out with something in your life, this episode will land deeply.
And if you want to take this work further, you can always join my free monthly group coaching call or book a free one-on-one consult. Both are completely complementary.
