It’s Not the Mountain

Why Their Plan Isn’t Working for You

We see someone who has what we want, and we assume their path is the answer. In this episode, I’m sharing four questions to help you stop looking for THE plan and start figuring out what moving forward could actually look like for you. Whether your goal is related to your health, business, relationships, money or something else entirely, these questions can help you get clear on what you want, where you are, what’s getting in the way and your next step forward. And if you’d like help working through those questions, find me on Instagram at @annemillercoaching to book a free call.

"I can't believe I did this!"

A little recap on my recent river trip and a few unexpected lessons from a week completely off the grid. What started as a river rafting adventure became a reminder that growth isn't just about doing hard things, it's about the stories we tell ourselves afterward. We explore discomfort, self-trust, curiosity, and why "I can't believe I did this" can be the beginning of real transformation. If this episode resonated with you and you're ready to build more trust in yourself, I'd love to connect. You can find me on Instagram, @annemillercoaching

Was it easy?

What if one of the most important questions you could ask yourself isn't Did it work? or Did I do it right? but simply... Was it easy? In this episode, I'm sharing my experience with Transcendental Meditation, what led me to finally give it a try, and the surprising lessons I've learned since beginning the practice in January 2025. We explore: * Why people meditate * What TM actually looks like in practice * The myth of the "blank mind" * Why thoughts aren't the problem * The difference between effort and force * How meditation mirrors fitness, nutrition, and other long-term habits * The lesson of not riding every thought train that comes along Whether you meditate regularly, have tried it before, or have never considered it, this conversation is really about something bigger: showing up with intention while releasing the need to control the outcome.

When Plan "A" Falls Apart

This week, I'm sharing a simple story about a missed Monday email, a lost podcast recording, and the reminder that we don't have to wait for the "perfect" moment to begin again. Whether it's your workouts, nutrition, business, relationships, or creative projects, life will interrupt the plan. The goal isn't to never miss. The goal is to stop letting one missed step convince you that you've failed. In this episode, we explore: * Why all-or-nothing thinking can sneak into new areas of our lives, even after we've done a lot of mindset work. * The stories we tell ourselves after we miss a workout, a habit, or a goal. * A simple reframe that has stuck with me for years: There is never just Option A or Option B. A through Z are always available. * Three gentle questions to help you find your way back when life throws you off course. If you've been waiting for next Monday, the first of the month, or the "right time" to start again, this is your reminder that you don't have to start over. You can simply begin from where you are.
