What if every time you said "I'll try," you were actually announcing you just weren't going to do it?

Carla Ondrasik breaks down why "trying" sabotages your goals and why your brain literally can't process the word. This conversation goes beyond surface-level motivation into the neuroscience of language and accountability.

What you'll discover:

- Why children under two never say "try" until shame enters

- What happens in your brain when you attempt the try test

- How "I'll try" creates a grab bag of excuses with zero accountability

Carla Ondrasik spent 25 years in music publishing before writing "Stop Trying," challenging one of the most ingrained patterns in modern culture.

This week's challenge: Become hyper-aware of every time you say "try"—count how many times before 10 a.m.
