Journey to the Goal: The Gritty Eight
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
We love setting goals… but no one talks about what happens after you decide to change something.
In this solo episode of Trail Talks, Kelly breaks down The Gritty Eight — the real parts of the goal journey most people aren’t prepared for: the joy, setbacks, the messy middle, triumphs, momentum shifts, how to stay the course, and who you become along the way.
Grounded in neuroscience, emotional intelligence, and grit, this episode helps you understand why the journey feels the way it does — and gives you practical tools to keep going when motivation fades.
Plus, a fun detour into pop culture with Kelly’s Top 8 entertainment moments of the year, because growth doesn’t have to be heavy all the time.
🌿 The goal may get you started — but the journey is what changes you.
