250. Hope Is Not a Strategy for Success
Do you know that feeling when you're waiting for things to change, but nothing actually does? That's hope fatigue. In this episode, Anna and Tim unpack what happens when hope becomes a substitute for action, and why it's not enough to just wish things were different. From therapy sessions that go nowhere to relationships crumbling in silence, they call out the moments we all lean on hope instead of doing the work.
They dig into how hope without a plan leaves us stuck, burned out, and spinning our wheels. With raw honesty, they explore the power of strategy, the danger of learned helplessness, and how to reclaim a sense of agency in your life, even when you're exhausted.
This Episode Covers:
- Why “I hope this works out” keeps you stuck.
- What hope fatigue really feels like.
- How therapy can fail when there’s no action.
- The exhaustion of staying too long in the wrong relationship or job.
- The weight of activism without systemic change.
- The difference between hope and strategy.
- How to reframe hope as fuel, not the vehicle.
- Five power moves to get unstuck and take back control.
Until next time, here's to deeper connections and personal growth.
