107 — The Power of Momentum: How to Start (and Restart) Progress

We've all been there—things are going well, you're making progress, you're feeling good… and then, suddenly, you lose momentum.

 Life gets busy, obstacles pop up, and before you know it, you're off track. So, what do you do when that happens? How do you rebuild momentum and keep moving forward?

In this episode, I break down:

• Why starting is always the hardest part (and how to push past it)
• The science of activation energy—why some actions feel impossible to start
• How small actions trick your brain into making progress
• The secret to lowering resistance and making success automatic
• How to use discipline and consistency to sustain momentum
• A step-by-step plan to rebuild momentum when you lose it

I also talk about how Kobe Bryant’s work ethic transformed an Olympic team, how small wins lead to massive change, and why my own mom’s running journey proves that momentum is built, not given.

If you’ve ever fallen off track with your fitness, career, or personal growth goals, this episode is for you. Momentum isn’t magic—it’s built through action.

So start small. Take one step today. And keep getting after it.
