    At 10:22, Lori brings up the fear many of us have about setting realistic goals and how to overcome it. The reflection on personal accomplishments and the necessity of maintaining faith in our journey becomes a central theme from 14:45 onwards. Amy shares her personal experiences and struggles, adding a relatable element to the discussion.

    Around 22:14, the conversation touches on the problem of over-committing and the critical skill of learning to say no. This becomes a foundational piece of advice for listeners looking to create victorious outcomes in their lives without burning out.

    Wrapping up at 26:13, Amy and Lori provide final thoughts on creating victories through micro-movements and the importance of taking incremental steps towards larger goals. Their shared experiences and wisdom serve as a powerful reminder that it’s the small, consistent actions that lead to lasting success.
