1305: Your Excuses Are Winning — Here’s How to Fight Back

Ever feel like you're arguing with yourself all day long — about getting up early, skipping the snack, following through — and somehow, the wrong voice keeps winning?

You're not broken. You're just unprepared.

In this episode, I’m bringing you inside the debate team that’s happening inside your head every day — and breaking down why your internal arguments are falling flat... and what to do about it.

If you showed up to debate class with the kinds of excuses and one-liners you use on yourself — you'd get crushed. So why are you trying to win the battle for your goals that way?

We’ll talk about:

• The 4 major ways we drop the ball in our internal decision-making

• Why “I said I would” isn’t strong enough to beat a craving

• How to build a better case for the choices that move you forward

• Real-life examples (goldfish snacks, alarms, girls’ night wine — we’re going there)

• What conviction, energy, and preparation actually sound like

If you’ve been stuck in a cycle of “I know better but I don’t do better,” this episode is going to feel like a mirror, a wake-up call, and a strategy session — all in one.
