Do you ever set a goal and start off strong… but then life happens and you lose momentum?

Maybe you’ve told yourself, “I’m just not great at follow-through” or “This always happens.”

If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and this week’s episode of The Smarter Accountant Podcast is for you.

It’s all about understanding what really gets in the way—and what to do about it.

I’m sharing the 4-step process Smarter Accountants use to stop spinning and start actually reaching their goals. No fluff, just real talk about what works (and why your brain makes it feel so hard sometimes).

This episode is especially for you if:

• You’ve got great intentions, but little follow-through
  
• You keep setting the same goals year after year
  
• You’re tired of feeling stuck or behind
  
• You’re ready to stop hoping and start knowing you’ll get it done

You don’t need to try harder—you just need to try smarter.

Did you know that when your brain is in survival mode, your best thinking shuts down?

In this week’s Smarter in 5 Minutes episode, I’m explaining why stress hijacks your focus, creativity, and logic—and how to reset your brain when everything feels overwhelming.

Just 5 minutes. One powerful shift to get your clarity back.

Have you ever sat down to get work done… and somehow, nothing gets done?

Do you start one thing, then bounce to something else, then wonder how an hour disappeared — and not in a good way?

You’re not alone — and you’re definitely not broken.

In this week’s episode of The Smarter Accountant Podcast, I’m talking about something that a lot of accountants deal with but rarely talk about: why the symptoms of ADHD — or something that feels a whole lot like it — can be so much louder in the accounting world.

I’m not here to diagnose anyone. But I am here to help you understand why procrastination, time blindness, overwhelm, forgetfulness, and even emotional burnout are so common among accountants — and what’s actually going on behind the scenes in your brain.

If you’ve ever felt like you “used to be more organized” or wonder, “Why can’t I focus like I used to?” — this episode might shine a light.

This episode is especially for you if:

• You feel like you’re always behind, even when you’re working nonstop
  
• You’ve secretly wondered if you might have ADHD
  
• You’re tired of pushing yourself harder and want a better way to get things done
  
• You’re curious about how coaching — and a tool like The Model — could actually help your brain work with you, not against you

There’s nothing wrong with you. But there might be something wrong with how your work expects your brain to operate.

Listen in and let’s talk about it — because the more you understand, the less personal and stressful it all feels.

“I’ll do it later” sounds harmless—but it’s often your brain’s way of dodging discomfort.

In this week’s Smarter in 5 Minutes episode, I’m unpacking why your lower brain reaches for that phrase, what it’s trying to avoid, and how to take back control of your follow-through.

Just 5 minutes. One smart shift.

Have you ever ended the day wondering, “Why am I so tired when I barely got anything done?”

Do you feel like you’re constantly switching between tasks and still can’t keep up?

Does your to-do list keep growing no matter how hard you work?

If so, you’re not alone—and this week’s podcast episode is going to make your day feel a whole lot lighter.

In this episode of The Smarter Accountant Podcast, I’m breaking down what a brain-friendly workflow actually looks like—and why most of us were never taught how to set one up.

You’ll learn how your workflow might be quietly draining your energy, keeping your brain stuck in decision fatigue, and making you feel like you’re always behind (even when you’re not).

We’ll talk about what a smarter workflow really is—and the small changes that can help you get more done, feel less scattered, and stop wasting energy trying to “power through” your day.

This episode is especially for you if:

• You’re constantly asking yourself, “What was I doing again?”
  
• You get to the end of the day and feel like your brain is fried
  
• You’ve tried all the apps and still feel overwhelmed
  
• You’re tired of working harder and want things to feel easier

This one is packed with insights that your accountant brain will thank you for—so don’t miss it.

Ever feel mentally scattered—even on days you’re checking things off?

In this week’s Smarter in 5 Minutes episode, I’m sharing why your brain holds onto unfinished tasks (even small ones), and how to create a sense of closure that frees up your mental energy.

Just 5 minutes. One powerful shift.

Have you ever looked back and thought, “Why didn’t I do that differently?”

Have you ever felt like your career doesn’t quite feel the way you hoped it would—but you can’t put your finger on why?

You’re not alone.

This week on The Smarter Accountant Podcast, I’m opening up about the top 5 career mistakes I’ve made in my 35+ years as an accountant—and why I hope you don’t make them too.

These aren’t mistakes like missing deadlines or forgetting to reply to an email. These are the sneaky, brain-driven habits that feel smart at the time...but quietly lead to burnout, frustration, and a career that doesn’t feel fulfilling.

This episode is especially for you if:

• You feel like you're doing all the “right” things but still aren’t satisfied
  
• You’re stuck in the cycle of overworking and people-pleasing
  
• You’ve never really defined what “enough” or “success” means to you
  
• You’re wondering if your career path is really working for your life
  

If any of that sounds familiar, I promise this episode will give you a new perspective—and a lot of relief.
