Here’s how to finish that next big project… no, really. Done, finished, tick it off the list and stick a fork in it, DONE. But the problem is… most projects we start, we never finish them! Why is that??!
My special guest today is author Bridgit Dengel Gaspard, LCSW and she’s simplifying how to finish that next big project. You see, she’s got a theory that the reason we mysteriously stop within sight of the finish line is actually because not all of you wants what you think you want. In fact, these sub-personalities inside you have a distorted loyalty to your core negative beliefs and that’s what is keeping you stuck.
Here’s how to squash all of that.

My special guest today is Bridgit Dengel Gaspard and she’s simplifying how to finish that next big project.
We tackle all aspects of it, including:
- Why driven, go-getter, type-A kind of people tend to lose steam just before completing a big goal in their life
- What the “Final 8th” is and how to overcome any self-sabotage when you’re working towards your goals personally or professionally
- How to speak to your inner selves for clarity and insight through a technique called voice dialogue
- Why it’s just as important to uncover our “core negative beliefs” as well as your core values to get at the root of things
- … and ultimately, what the key difference is between a person who achieves their goals easily vs. those who don’t.
If you’ve ever bought a book or an online course you haven’t finished… invested in a mastermind and then fizzled out halfway through… or started a DIY project and left it to collect dust, my friend, this episode is especially for you.
Like you, I was desperate for the answers as to WHY this seems to happen, over and over again. And instead of beating yourself up over it, learn what’s going on under the surface so you can get back to thriving.
Q: Are you trying to figure out why you sometimes can’t seem to finish that next big project? If yes, this one is for you.
