Ep 101: The #1 Reason Your Biggest Goal Isn’t Happening (Yet)

26 Jan

Season 3 · Ep 101

About this episode

Did you have a goal you wanted to achieve last year, and you've recently moved it to the “this year for sure” list?

I got you!

In this episode, I break down The Action Gap — the space between what you say you want and what you’re actually doing to get it.

This is the episode that lovingly calls out the excuses, the hoping-for-the-best energy, and the belief that motivation will magically appear, we cover:

Why most people don’t achieve their goals (and why that doesn’t have to be you)
The Action Gap — and how it quietly sabotages progress
Common goals people keep recycling year after year (career, health, confidence, friendships, boundaries)
Why “waiting for motivation” is a trap
How action creates momentum — not the other way around
Candice’s 5-Step Framework to Close the Action Gap

If 2026 is the year you want to stop talking about goals — and start achieving them — this episode is your loving kick up the bum.

ALSO: Candice also shares behind-the-scenes insights from writing The Shake Up Book — and invites you to the live online book launch:
