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. 69 - Why Frameworks Work (and How to Know If One Is Worth Following)
This episode was inspired by a single email and it made everything click. In this conversation, I break down what a real framework actually is, why frameworks are so powerful for follow-through, and how to tell the difference between a tested system and something that just sounds good online.
You’ll learn:
What a framework truly represents (and what it doesn’t)
Why frameworks must work for more than one person
How frameworks evolve over time and why that’s a good thing
Why frameworks act as a reset button when life gets messy
The difference between throwing spaghetti at the wall vs. following a pattern that works
I also share the umbrella framework that sits underneath everything I teach — the 3 C’s: Clarity, Capacity, and Commitment and explain how each one plays a role in achieving meaningful goals without burnout.
