More Life, Less Drama:

Does personal development even work? And how do you know? Have you ever wondered if all your mindset work, identity shifts, and habit tracking is actually doing anything? This episode is the proof that it is. This week I’m sharing something personal: my DISC profile results from 2019 compared to now in 2025 and the growth is undeniable. From people-pleasing and avoidance to precision, structure, and intentional follow-through, this transformation is real… and measurable. Even if your growth isn’t showing up in obvious ways just yet, I promise it’s happening. This episode will help you see the power of small, consistent change, and why your identity is allowed to evolve. What We Cover: • What the DISC profile is and why it’s helpful for tracking growth • My transformation from people-pleasing coach to focused formalist • Why structure used to feel restrictive and now it sets me free • How identity work, grounded commitment, and the proof jar helped me change • Tangible ways to measure your own growth (even without a personality test) Key Takeaways: ✅ You are not fixed, you’re always evolving ✅ Change happens gradually until suddenly you wake up and realise you’re different ✅ Your journal, your metrics, your habits—they are all proof ✅ Your nervous system, personality, or past behaviour does not define your future Actionable Insight: Think back to where you were 3–5 years ago. What were you thinking, doing, struggling with? What do you now do with ease that once felt impossible? Write it down. Or take a personality tool like the DISC and compare it to an older version of yourself, you’ll be amazed at what you find.

Have you ever said, “Life just got in the way”? You had great intentions, a solid plan… and then a sick kid, a messy schedule, or your own exhaustion kicked in. Suddenly, you’re behind again and feeling like a failure. This week’s episode is your reminder that your goals and your life aren’t separate. Your life is not the problem, it’s the environment in which your goals will be achieved. I’m breaking down why this phrase is secretly stealing your power, how to reframe it, and how to move forward without needing perfect conditions. What We Cover: Why “life got in the way” is a sneaky excuse that disconnects you from your goals How to reframe the phrase to keep your power and momentum My own recent example of how I caught myself saying this, and shifted gears Tangible strategies to adjust, recommit, and follow through (even when life gets messy) Key Takeaways: ✅ You don’t need a perfect week to make progress ✅ Your goals must fit within your life, not outside of it ✅ You are allowed to adjust the plan without abandoning it Try These Practices: Catch the phrase when you say, “life got in the way.” Tell yourself the truth about what happened and recommit. Adjust instead of abandon- ask: What’s the smallest step I can take today? Decide again - choose your goal with grounded commitment.

If you’ve ever wanted to feel more in control of your money, your emotions, or your home environment, this episode will inspire you to try your own version of a no-spend goal.

Ever had an unsolicited opinion throw you off track? You’re working toward a goal, making progress, and then - boom - someone shares their thoughts, and suddenly, you’re questioning everything. This episode is your reminder: your opinion of yourself matters more than anyone else’s. I’m diving into how to recognise the difference between constructive feedback and unhelpful noise, plus giving you thoughts to think on purpose when others’ opinions start creeping in. What We Cover: 1️⃣ How opinions (solicited or not) can derail you • Why people love to share their thoughts, even when they’re not helpful • How projection plays a role in negative feedback 2️⃣ Feedback vs. Noise: What’s Worth Listening To? • Signs of constructive feedback that helps you grow • How to filter out unhelpful opinions and stay focused 3️⃣ The Power of Your Own Thoughts • Why your self-perception is the only thing that matters • How to decide ahead of time what to think about yourself 4️⃣ Thoughts to Think on Purpose: I am someone who does not abandon myself for the approval of someone else. My opinion of myself matters more than anyone else’s opinion of me. (If my opinion of myself is negative, that’s what I need to work on changing.) I can decide ahead of time what to think about myself no matter what outcome happens for this goal I am pursuing. They are allowed to be wrong about me. This feeling is just a set of sensations in my body and I can handle it. My worth is not the stock market. It can’t go up and down just based on thoughts in other people’s brains. (Credit: Kara Loewentheil) What I think about me is more important than what others think about me. Key Takeaways: ✅ You don’t owe anyone an explanation for your goals. ✅ Constructive feedback offers solutions; unhelpful opinions do not. ✅ People’s opinions of you say more about them than they do about you. Actionable Insight: Next time you receive an opinion that makes you doubt yourself, pause. Ask: Does this help me move forward? If not, let it go and refocus on your goal. A Warm Invitation: If you struggle with follow-through because of doubt or external noise, my free First Step to Success course is for you. It will help you build the proof that you can stick to your goals—no matter what others think. 🎯 Start today for free: First Step to Success https://pruesulicich.com.au/first-step-to-success/ 🎧 Listen to episode 76: Never Be Offended Again https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/more-life-less-drama/id1686298779?i=1000673520146

What if I told you that the biggest successes in life don’t come from massive leaps, but from small, consistent steps? That’s the message I took away from a powerful International Women’s Day event, and it’s what I’m sharing with you in this episode. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by big goals or stuck in the start-stop cycle, this episode will remind you that every small action matters. What We Cover: 1️⃣ Why small steps matter more than big moves • “Small hinges open big doors.” • The secret behind people who follow through on big dreams. 2️⃣ Lessons from a woman who ran 150 marathons • She didn’t focus on the full journey—just the next stop. • How breaking your goal into tiny, manageable steps makes all the difference. 3️⃣ How to take your next best step TODAY • You don’t need to change everything overnight. • One small thing today can lead to a completely different life tomorrow. Key Takeaways: ✅ You don’t have to be 10 steps ahead—just one step ahead of self-doubt. ✅ The life you want is built on small, repeated actions—not one massive move. ✅ Don’t get lost in the big picture—focus on the next step in front of you. Actionable Insight: What’s one small action you can take today that moves you closer to your dream? Maybe it’s a 10-minute walk, making a healthy meal, or tackling that one thing you’ve been putting off. Start small, and watch how things change.

Have you ever started something new, whether a goal, a career shift, or personal growth, only to be met with subtle (or not-so-subtle) comments from people around you? Doubt, guilt, and comparison can creep in, making you second-guess yourself. This episode is here to remind you: you don’t need permission to go after what you want. Today, we’re talking about the comments that stop you in your tracks and how to move forward anyway. I’ll walk you through five common types of comments people make (often unintentionally) that plant seeds of doubt and keep you stuck. What We Cover: 1. The Subtle Dream-Killer Comments: - “Are you sure that’s a good idea?” - “That sounds like a lot of work… Do you really have time for that?” - “Most people don’t actually follow through with that kind of thing.” - “I mean, if it was that easy, wouldn’t everyone be doing it?” - “I just don’t want to see you get disappointed.” - “You’re always starting something new… what makes this different?” These comments aren’t outright mean, but they cast doubt. They make you pause, hesitate, and second-guess yourself. 2. The “I Know You Better Than You Know Yourself” Comments: - “That’s just not really you though, is it?” - “You’ve never been good at sticking with things.” - “I mean, you always get excited about new things, but let’s be real…” - “I just don’t think this is your thing.” - “You’re not really the type of person who does that.” And suddenly, you start wondering… are they right? Do they see something in me that I don’t? 3. The “I’m Just Being Realistic” Comments: - “Not trying to be negative, but…” - “You need to be realistic. Life doesn’t work like that.” - “You should probably focus on something safer.” - “You don’t want to embarrass yourself, do you?” - “Most people who try that fail.” - “I just don’t want to see you waste your time.” These sound like “helpful” advice, but really, they’re just dressed-up fear. Often, it’s their own limiting beliefs they’re trying to project onto you. 4. The Subtle Comparison Comments: - “Oh, my friend tried that and it didn’t work for her.” - “I know someone who did that, but they had way more experience.” - “That’s great, but don’t expect too much.” - “It’s just really competitive—you’d have to be really good.” Comparison plants the seed that maybe you’re not “good enough” or “experienced enough.” But what they don’t realise? You don’t need permission from someone else’s experience to go for what you want! 5. The Guilt-Tripping Comments: - “You’ve been spending a lot of time on that… don’t forget about us.” - “You’re so busy these days—remember when you used to have time for [insert guilt here]?” - “Must be nice to be able to do that, some of us don’t have the luxury.” - “I wish I had time to do things like that.” - “You’re lucky you get to focus on yourself.” This one hits hard because it taps into your guilt. And before you know it, you’re putting yourself last again to make sure everyone else is happy. Key Takeaways: - People’s comments come from their own fears, not your reality. - You get to decide how you react and whether you stop or keep going. - The more you grow, the more comments you’ll receive—so be prepared! Actionable Insight: Write down one or two comments that have made you doubt yourself in the past. How did they impact your actions? How would you like to respond differently next time? An Invitation: I don’t want these comments to stop you from **following through on what matters.** That’s why I’m hosting a free Masterclass: 🔥 Follow Through on What Matters—Even When You Feel Unmotivated 📅 Three live sessions next week 🎁 Exclusive bonus for live attendees!

Plus, I’m inviting you to my brand-new free masterclass where I’ll teach you how to follow through on what matters, even when you don’t feel motivated. What We Cover: 1.

Key Takeaways: • Your habits reflect your priorities—whether they’re intentional or not. • You don’t need more motivation; you need a better system. • Change happens in small, daily steps—not in one big leap.
