Personal accountability is a game-changer, but it requires one thing many of us avoid: telling ourselves the truth. Personal accountability and radical self-honesty are conjoined twins and even when your best isn’t good enough, sitting in that uncomfortable truth leads to growth.

In this raw and honest conversation, we explore what it means to face reality, even when it’s painful. Acknowledging when your best isn’t meeting the standards you’ve set is tough, but it’s also the foundation for true growth. This episode offers powerful insights on how to navigate the gap between where you are and where you want to be—without falling into self-criticism or shame.

🛠️ What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why personal accountability starts with radical self-honesty.

• How to acknowledge your limitations while maintaining grace for yourself.

• When you accept the truth of your circumstances, you give yourself the freedom to evolve. It’s not about perfection—it’s about progress, even when your best feels like it’s barely enough.

This episode will empower you to take responsibility for your life, reclaim your confidence, and embrace the transformative power of personal accountability.

Tune in now and discover how to fix yourself—not by being perfect, but by being real.

It's estimated that ADHD affects more than 8 million adults (or up to 5% of Americans) and 6.1% of children. Unfortunately, many people don't even know they have it. For decades, people with ADHD have been ignored, dismissed and even derided. As one of the most misunderstood diagnoses, it's easy for ADHD to be treated like a joke or a superpower, even though it's neither. NYT best selling author of "How to ADHD", Jessica McCabe, dives deep into everything from how the brain of a person with ADHD works to how their loved ones can better understand and support them. Jessica opens up about what it was like to be the one with “potential” who could never quite bring it to fruition. Tap into this week’s episode if you have ADHD or love someone with it for some great tips on how to navigate it successfully.

KEY POINTS & QUOTES:

• ADHD is not a joke or a superpower.

• Make space for hyperfocus but install guardrails in your mind to stay on track.

• Studies have shown that ADHD may be polygenetic.

• Pills don’t teach skills. Simply medicating your child is not enough.

• Instead of telling someone to “calm down”, try telling them to “slow down.”

• Try to work with your unique brain rather than fight against it.

Former Wall Street analyst and founder of Empify, Ashley M. Fox, describes how simply putting yourself in certain spaces can create the opportunity to expand your life. You must create an abundant mindset in order to attract abundance. We attract who we are and not what we want; therefore, training your mind to believe you are worthy of things is essential to accomplishing your goals. Ashley dives into the alignment of priorities in order to create generational wealth and invest in your future. Those that are wealthy subscribe to the mentality that they are deserving of wealth. You must feel like you are worthy of the lifestyle that you desire to bring it to fruition.

Daniels, to help give us a compass and much needed direction on the journey to finding true love and keeping it.
