Ever wonder why your accountability partner isn't helping you reach your goals? In this episode of Dream to Done, I break down the four biggest reasons why that well-meaning partnership might actually be holding you back.

From misaligned dedication and lack of tools, to simply being “too nice,” I share personal stories, real-life examples, and actionable tips for making accountability actually work. Learn when it’s time to ditch the friend-as-coach model and how hiring the right life coach can help you finally gain momentum toward your dreams—even in the messy middle of motherhood.

In This Episode: 

  • Why being “just friends” can make accountability tricky

  • The problem with free support (and why investment matters)

  • How to tell if misalignment is stalling your progress

  • Creative ways to make a friend-based system actually work

  • Why a life coach might be the missing piece you need

If you're ready to take your goals from dream to done, this episode is a must-listen.
