Gratitude journaling might not be the cheat code you think 👀

This research actually surprised me a good bit... so of course, I had to break it down on the podcast 🤓

A 2025 analysis pulled together 140+ studies, over 24,000 people, across 28 countries, to review what gratitude practices really do to support wellbeing.

The effect is real... It’s just small.

Nowhere close to the “rewires your brain” or “cheat code for happiness” language that gets thrown around.

Here’s the part that matters if you’re a coach...

Gratitude practices DO help.

But compare them to other types of reflective practices, journaling about your day, acts of kindness, writing about your ideal future... we don’t see that much of a special difference.

Okay so here’s the thing nobody really talks about...

Picturing the outcome and expecting the outcome are NOT the same thing.

Expecting it means you’ve got a real reason to believe it, evidence, past wins, something to stand on.

Picturing it is just... a good feeling with nothing behind it.

And that gap is where a lot of your clients are living.

Big vision, but no plan for what’s actually getting in the way.

Swipe through for the breakdown, then check out the full episode for the actual research and the fix.

And that’s exactly why vision boards don’t work.

Visualize in the good parts. Ignore the hard parts.

And that does feel good... BUT, the important part is whether or not you actually achieve the good parts.

(unless your vision boarding efforts are just for the sake of “feel good” then, don’t read on)

It’s not just picturing your goals. You also have to name the obstacles.

Like...

The thing that’s realistically going to get in your way.
The reason you didn’t follow through last time.
The excuse you already know you’re going to reach for.

In this week’s new podcast episode, I’m not just going to trash your vision board. 🗑️

I’m going to give you a more effective strategy to finally make your vision board a reality.

If it weren’t for a couple trips at the beginning and end of August…

Raleigh/Richmond to celebrate Chanel Collette Carter

Epcot to celebrate Mallory Marks · Health & Metabolism Coach

…The only things I would have to share from the past month are photos of me at my computer, screenshots from students, and photos of Kyra K Flatow on zoom 😅

Over the past few months we developed a brand new process: The Client Follow Through Formula (trademark pending 🤓) and in August, taught it to over 500 health and fitness professionals during a multi-day bootcamp

^ and it was a hit (thank goodness 😮‍💨😅)

Then we welcomed in 80+ new students into our 13th class of the Health Mindset Coaching Certification (HMCC) — they’re already crushing it 🥹

All great, exciting stuff. But it sure wasn’t easy.

It was 2am one night a few weeks ago, I’m still on the computer, and know that the reason I still had energy to keep going is because the work we do, our students, and the amazing people we have on the team at HMCC

How freakin COOL that my JOB is to help coaches transform themselves, their work, and the lives of their clients?!

AND to have a team right there with me who believes in the mission just as much as I do?! ❤️

TLDR: this month was exhausting. Also full of super silly and extremely rewarding moments. It also required a lottttt of mindset work with myself. As always, the hard stuff leads to the good stuff.

I’m not here to diss your visualization practices...

But in this week’s new podcast episode, I’m sharing how visualization of your success (eg vision boards)

Can actually backfire 🫣

If you made a vision board this year...

If it’s anything like most people’s… it’s collecting dust somewhere right now 🫣

Vision boards are fun, and sometimes that’s all we want them to be.

But if you’re actually looking for those vision board goals to become reality, visualization isn’t enough.

And the research here is interesting. 👀

Picturing the goal like it’s already done (like on your vision board) actually predicts you’re LESS likely to get there.

When you vividly imagine you’ve already achieved the thing, your brain hands you a little of that relaxation and satisfaction now... BEFORE you’ve done any of the actual work.

So your energy to go do the thing lowers. It feels like you’ve already done it.

Putting an analogy to it: you’re eating the mental meal before you’ve even started cooking. 😆👨‍🍳

This week’s new podcast episode is all about the pros and cons vision boards (I had fun with this one!!)

“I know what to do. I just don’t do it.”

That sentence is the intention-behavior gap, happening in real time.

Research suggests intention almost never reliably predicts behavior...

So it’s not that your client “doesn’t want it bad enough”. They’re just stuck in the gap between wanting to do something and actually doing it.

Here’s where most coaches go wrong: you jump straight to more education. Or an adjusted plan. Or 5 more reasons why they should do it.

^ None of that closes the gap.

What ACTUALLY helps is getting curious instead of convincing.

The bridge from knowing to doing doesn’t get built with more information or encouragement from you.

Before you adjust your client’s plan again,

Or just give them another pep talk reminding them of their goals,

Try these questions, first.

The goal should be to uncover the actual problem instead of throwing another “fix” at your clients who struggle to stay consistent and just crossing your fingers that it will work this time.

This week’s new podcast episode is about how clients have INTENTIONS to do something... but don’t actually do it.
