About this listen
You know that moment where you keep telling yourself you’re “trying”… and somehow months go by and nothing actually changes?
Today we’re calling out the sneakiest productivity trap of all: the word try.
I’m joined by Carla Ondrasik, author of Stop Trying, who breaks down why “trying” keeps you stuck in your head — and why doing is a totally different energy (and outcome).
In this episode, we’re diving into:
- Trying vs. doing: why trying is mental, doing is physical, and your brain hates vague instructions
- The Tri Test: Carla’s simple experiment that instantly exposes why “try” creates confusion
- The hidden cost of “I’ll try”: how it bakes in failure, kills accountability, and fuels excuses + people-pleasing
- How to build your doer muscle: small, practical shifts (including saying a clean “no”) that create momentum fast
This conversation is for you if you’ve been living with a low-grade “I should’ve done this by now” pressure — and you’re ready to trade it for clarity, follow-through, and a nervous system that isn’t dragging around a thousand open loops.
