#73 What is YOUR Personal Code for each step of The Accountability Code
In this episode, I shared how I'm feeling grateful and recounted a touching story from my accountability program. One of my clients, a busy mom managing a dance studio and family life, felt unsure about her reflection process. She worried if reflecting while driving was effective. I assured her that there's no "right" way and emphasized doing our best in any circumstance.
Reflecting, even during busy times, helps us grow. I urged listeners to be gentle with themselves and acknowledge their progress, no matter how minor, as they work towards accountability.

Customer Reviews
Accountability is everything!
At the root of all goals is accountability to oneself and this podcast helps so much! It is like a kick in the pants! Thank you. :-)
Mean Girls!
The Podcast focuses on how to forever be an immature 14 year old where many friendships cannot be valued; where feelings of others do not matter; and if that is how you feel maybe keep it to yourself. News break! Parents have the right to raise their children with their beliefs and we do the best we can. When you come of age you have the free agency to choose your path and all that those choices offer you. Amber had a good stable home and the friendship that she so easily brushed aside is a beautiful person that did not have a supportive father in her life and valued what she though was a friendship and valued Amber no matter her life choices. A Life Coach for what now?
Accountability made simple
Marci’s framework is simple and easy to implement in many different scenarios. I love learning from her.
