You Don’t Need More Willpower, You Need Support with Diane Rolston (DW347)

You may be thinking that in order to get to your goals, you need more willpower, but you don't. The problem isn't discipline. It's trying to carry growth, decisions, and momentum all alone. Listen as Diane explains why willpower is finite but support is sustaining.

Our host, Diane Rolston, shares her own experience of quiet burnout from pushing harder alone and what changed when she realized she didn't need more discipline. She just needed support.

Listen to learn these key takeaways:

1. Why high-achieving women are taught to "try harder, be stronger, figure it out yourself" and the hidden cost of this approach
2. The truth about willpower
3. The three powerful things support gives you that willpower never can
4. The Les Brown quote that changes everything
5. The reason why growth stalls without support
6. The difference between support where you only receive versus equal environments where you can give and receive
7. Real client feedback from The Breakthrough 2025: "I didn't realize how much I needed the monthly calls until I had them"
8. Why quarterly check-ins weren't enough and how monthly support moved women far beyond their original goals
9. Two reflection questions to ask yourself right now about where you're relying on willpower instead of support
