What happens after you reach the goal?

In this episode of Transformative Paths, Wanda Jean Carroll is joined by lifelong cyclist and leader Jeff to explore what lies beyond achievement — and why real transformation begins after the milestone. Together, they unpack the myth that reaching a goal means the work is done and examine how lasting change happens when habits become identity and growth becomes a way of living.

Drawing from cycling, endurance challenges, business leadership, and personal discipline, this conversation explores:

• Why achievement alone rarely creates lasting change

• How complacency quietly undermines progress

• The difference between chasing goals and becoming someone new

• What it means to live with a “no finish line” mindset

This episode is for anyone who’s hit a goal and wondered, Is this it? Because transformation doesn’t end at the finish line — it starts there.

What happens after you reach the goal?

In this episode of Transformative Paths, Wanda Jean Carroll is joined by lifelong cyclist and leader Jeff to explore what lies beyond achievement -- and why real transformation begins after the milestone.

Through stories from endurance cycling, business leadership, and personal discipline, this conversation challenges the myth that reaching a goal means the work is done. Together, they examine how habits become ingrained in identity, how complacency quietly undermines progress, and why sustainable growth requires a “no finish line” mindset.

This episode is for anyone who’s hit a goal and wondered, Is this it? Because transformation doesn’t end at the finish line -- it starts there.

We’re taught to believe that life will finally feel better when something changes — when the job improves, the relationship heals, the schedule clears, or the pain fades. But what if that finish line doesn’t exist?

In this first episode of Transformative Paths, Wanda Carroll explores how the belief in “arrival” keeps us stuck in waiting — and how real change begins through small, everyday practices of awareness, honesty, and compassion.

This episode offers reflection, relatable examples, and gentle guidance for anyone who feels like they’re always chasing the next version of themselves instead of living now.
