I’ll Start on Monday!

The Endurance Mindset | Susanne Mueller on Leadership, Discipline & Showing Up
What can marathon training teach us about leadership, resilience, and personal growth?
In this episode of I’ll Start on Monday, I speak with Susanne Mueller, executive coach, leadership expert, and endurance athlete who has completed multiple marathons and an Ironman competition.
Susanne shares how the discipline and mindset required in endurance sports directly translate into leadership, coaching, and navigating life’s challenges.
In this conversation, we explore:
• Why showing up consistently matters more than motivation• The leadership lessons learned from marathon and Ironman training• How small mindset shifts (“I have to” vs “I get to”) can change everything• Why curiosity and creativity fuel personal growth• How coaching helps people uncover their hidden potential• Why goals are essential to overcoming procrastination
Susanne’s perspective reminds us that transformation rarely happens overnight. Just like endurance training, personal growth happens through consistent effort, discipline, and the courage to keep showing up.
If you’ve ever struggled with procrastination, self-doubt, or staying committed to your goals, this episode will inspire you to keep moving forward.
Because real change doesn’t begin on Monday.
It begins the moment you decide to show up for yourself.

We’ve all said it:
“I’ll start on Monday.”
It sounds responsible. Organized. Hopeful.But for many of us, Monday becomes a psychological trap; a moving target where procrastination, hesitation, and self-doubt quietly take over.
In this first episode of I’ll Start on Monday, I share the personal story behind the name of this podcast, including the moment I stopped waiting for the “perfect day” and took action on an ordinary Thursday instead.
In this episode, we explore:
• The psychology of procrastination and delay• Why motivation and willpower aren’t the real problem• How fear of failure and fear of rejection fuel self-sabotage• The role of automatic negative thoughts (ANTs) in habit change• How tiny, consistent action builds identity and resilience• Why sustainable personal growth begins with self-awareness
This podcast is about more than productivity. It’s about understanding the mindset patterns behind hesitation, breaking the cycle of starting over, and creating lasting transformation, especially in the areas of health, habits, self-confidence, and self-trust.
If you’ve ever struggled with procrastination, self-discipline, emotional eating, body image, or rebuilding confidence, you’re not alone. And you’re in the right place.
Because real change doesn’t begin on Monday.It begins the moment you stop negotiating with yourself.

Resilience After Loss | Wil Wize Otero on Grief, Purpose & Rebuilding Your Life
What happens when life changes in an instant?
In this deeply moving episode of I’ll Start on Monday, I sit down with Wil Wize Otero, a podcaster, coach, speaker, and a resilience advocate to explore what it truly means to rebuild after profound loss.
After losing his wife at just 31 years old, Wil faced a level of grief and disruption most people never plan for. Instead of staying stuck in despair, he began the slow, intentional work of rebuilding his mindset, habits, and identity.
In this episode, we explore:
• Navigating grief and emotional trauma• The psychology of resilience and mental strength• How purpose emerges from pain• Breaking the procrastination cycle after loss• Developing positive habits during difficult seasons• Rebuilding identity after life disruption• The power of storytelling in healing
This conversation is about more than grief recovery. It’s about personal growth, emotional resilience, and learning how to move forward when life doesn’t go according to plan.
If you’ve ever faced loss, burnout, identity shifts, or felt paralyzed by fear and hesitation, this episode offers hope and perspective.
Because sometimes starting again isn’t about Monday it’s about surviving today and choosing one small step forward.

Why do so many capable, successful people still feel stuck?
In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Cindy Gould, Reinvention Strategist, Life Mastery Coach, and Elite Neuroencoding Specialist, to explore the deeper psychology behind procrastination, burnout, and personal reinvention.
Cindy works with high-achieving individuals who look successful on paper but feel exhausted internally — stuck in cycles of overthinking, self-doubt, and waiting for the “right time” to change.
In this episode, we explore:
• Why reinvention isn’t about more willpower• The identity shift required for lasting personal growth• How vision pulls you forward more effectively than pressure• The hidden cost of staying stuck in “I’ll start Monday” thinking• Why sustainable change must be ecological, not extreme• The connection between self-leadership and emotional resilience
If you’ve ever struggled with procrastination, lack of follow-through, burnout, or restarting your health, habits, or goals, this conversation will resonate deeply.
This episode dives into mindset, identity transformation, resilience, and the psychology behind habit change — especially for women navigating personal growth, self-confidence, and reinvention.
Because lasting change doesn’t come from force.It comes from becoming the person who no longer negotiates with herself.
