OM DENNE EPISODE
Recognizing a pattern is the first step. Changing it takes action.
Anna Di Carlo returns to the Charge Forward Podcast alongside Krysti Montes De Oca to open Season 4 with Jim Cripps. In Part 1, they explore accountability, hyperindependence, self-trust, and the everyday choices that help us move beyond familiar habits.
Anna shares the ideas behind Resolution Reset and her book, The Ghost and the Habit, including how writing it challenged her own patterns and shaped her parenting. Krysti brings her perspective on personal growth, while Jim connects the conversation to business coaching, leadership, and his own need to stay in control.
The takeaway: acknowledging what happened matters—but accountability also requires changed behavior.
