#368 Why Your Goals Are Failing You—and How to Finally Make Them Stick; NEW RESEARCH BACKED GOAL SETTING beyond the first mile!

Ever feel like you’re doing everything “right” but still can’t seem to achieve your goals? You’re not alone. In this episode of 100% Real with Ruby, we’re tackling one of the biggest myths in self-improvement: that setting goals is enough to guarantee success. Spoiler alert—it’s not. The secret lies in what happens beyond the goal-setting phase.

Ruby breaks down why most goals fail after the initial excitement wears off and life gets messy. Whether it’s fat loss, building muscle, or creating balance in your life, success requires more than a checklist. It demands systems, flexibility, and the ability to adapt when things don’t go as planned.

Using real-life examples, actionable strategies, and a dash of humor, Ruby dives into the science of progress—and how to make it permanent. She’ll teach you how to break free from the all-or-nothing mindset, create habits that stick, and build momentum that doesn’t rely on fleeting motivation.
