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. 67 - Progress Doesn’t Require a Perfect Plan (or a Perfect Life)
If you’ve been waiting for life to calm down (or for your plan to feel “perfect”) before taking action, this episode is your permission slip to stop waiting. In this episode, I break down why progress does not require a perfect plan or a perfect life, and why waiting for either often keeps you stuck longer than necessary. Using real client stories, she shows how meaningful progress happens inside messy seasons, not after them.
You’ll hear:
Why even the best plans will never go 100% as expected
How to use a plan as a GPS, not a rigid rulebook
Real examples of progress made during burnout, grief, health challenges, and chaos
Why adjusting your path is not failure, it’s follow-through
How to take imperfect action this week instead of waiting
Your Accountable Action:
Ask yourself: “What is one imperfect step I can take this week toward the thing I care about without waiting for perfect?”
