More Sugar PodcastAccountabilityI didn't learn accountability until later on in life. Right before Jax was born, we did a spiritual fast at our church and were assigned accountability partners. Someone we could check in with and make sure we were doing what we were supposed to do to reach our goal and if we weren't they would get us back on track. In this episode I discuss me slacking on my goals. This is me holding myself accountable. Who or what (if anything) do you use for your accountability? Or are you just out here living life all willy nilly?2022-10-1328 min
