In this episode of Joyfully Unstoppable, Becky Hamm breaks down why goals fail for so many successful women, even when the goal matters and the intention runs deep. You’ll hear the brain-based mechanics behind January momentum, February drift, and the very specific way your brain starts tracking cost, effort, and follow-through.

Becky walks through the three drivers that fuel early goal energy, then explains what happens when novelty fades, feedback slows, and your brain shifts into efficiency mode. You’ll leave with a clear map of the mechanisms underneath the pattern, plus a preview of next week’s companion episode on implementation.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
· Why early goal momentum feels so easy in your brain
· How dopamine and progress cues shape follow-through
· Why executive function fatigue shows up inside goal implementation
· How your brain starts economizing under real-world leadership load
· Why outcome focus weakens day-to-day engagement
· How patterns and small wins train your brain to stay in motion
