Closing the Gap Between Wanting & Doing (#041)

Don't Step on the Bluebells

If you've ever felt frustrated by the gap between your intentions and your actions—hitting snooze when you planned to exercise, scrolling social media instead of working on that project, or watching another goal slip by unfulfilled—this episode will change everything. Amanda Parker cuts straight to the heart of why we sabotage ourselves and reveals that the problem isn't what you think it is.

The core premise is revolutionary: it's not about willpower, motivation, or discipline. It's about fear—specifically, our deep-seated fear of fully committing to what we say we want. Amanda introduces her transformative "going all in" framework, sharing how "Most people are afraid to fully commit. They might tip a toe in, they might try it out for a couple of days or even a couple of weeks, but they're not really fully committed and not really going all in." Through her own vulnerable story of spending years "wanting" to learn French (when she really just wanted to already be fluent), Amanda demonstrates how to distinguish between genuine desires and fantasy outcomes.

What makes this episode particularly powerful is Amanda's four-question diagnostic tool that exposes exactly what's keeping you stuck. She walks you through identifying your deeper emotional drivers, eliminating friction from your path to success, learning from past failures instead of repeating them, and making the conscious choice to commit—even when it feels uncomfortable. These aren't just abstract concepts; they're practical strategies that work whether you're trying to build a business, improve your health, or create any meaningful change in your life.

Here's the question that will haunt you after listening: What would become possible if you stopped dabbling and started going all in on what truly matters to you? This episode doesn't just diagnose why you're stuck—it hands you the exact roadmap to break free. Don't let another goal become a regret. Listen now and discover what it really means to close the gap between wanting and doing.
