Accountable
Hosted by Amanda McKinney, Accountable is a podcast that infuses grace and fun into accountability. Forget about rigid rules and feelings of guilt, this is your weekly dose of real-talk inspiration packed with honest conversations, research-backed information, actionable strategies, and inspiring interviews from those who’ve been there, done that (and maybe even cried in the bathroom once or twice). Everything is about helping you take action and see results so you achieve your goals but not lose your sanity in the process because…you deserve it!

Ep. 51 - Change Is Hard: The 5 Stages of Behavior Change (and Where You Get Stuck)
If you’ve ever wondered why making progress feels so difficult, here’s the truth: change is hard because your brain is wired to resist it. In this solo episode, I walk you through the Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Change, a proven framework that explains the 5 stages we all move through when trying to change habits, pursue goals, or rewrite old stories.
You’ll learn:
Why resistance isn’t failure, it’s part of the process
The 5 stages of change (pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance)
Why relapse is normal (and how to “miss it and move on”)
How to identify where you typically get stuck, so you can get the right support
