Or motivation. Or that I just hadn’t found the right program yet. So I kept researching, prepping, planning, and trying again—without ever really moving forward.In this episode, I’m sharing the pattern I didn’t see for years and how my relationship with habits, routines, and consistency started to change once I understood myself better. If you’ve ever felt stuck with the same goals year after year, or frustrated that you can start things but can’t seem to make them last, this conversation will probably feel familiar.This is what actually helped me move out of that guilty churn where I always felt like a failure, and why doing things the “right” way was never the thing that worked for me.Topics in this episode:Consistency and habit buildingGoal setting that doesn’t stickADHD, autism, and follow‑throughWhy routines break downResistance and overthinkingIdentity and long‑term changeThis is a production of Jule Kim © 2025.Text Jule your thoughts - I really do read these!Support the showInterested in coaching with Jule?
