You're not incapable. You're not unmotivated. And you're definitely not broken. If you've been setting big, exciting goals and still not hitting them, it's not because you lack discipline or drive. It's that you might be setting the wrong, misaligned goals.
In this episode, I'm digging into the real reasons why your goals might be stalling, and it has nothing to do with willpower or working harder. You'll learn how your brain can quietly resist goals that don't feel safe or authentic, how misaligned goals drain your energy and create burnout, and most importantly, how to start setting goals that feel good to pursue AND you achieve.
Episode Highlights:
- Why traditional goal-setting can backfire (even when you're doing "all the right things")
- How to spot the subtle signs your goals are working against you
- The questions to ask when setting goals, to make sure they're the right ones
- How knowing what you want is your internal compass
If you've ever written a plan for a plan and still struggled to follow through, this one's for you. (and ⚠️ #spoileralert, here's the Alignment Check Questions for your goals:)
- Does this goal help me move toward that vision?
- Is it helping me create the life and business I actually want — not just the one I think I should want?
- Is this goal genuinely for me… or am I trying to prove something?
- Does this feel like an obligation… or a real desire?
- Would I still want this if no one clapped for it?
Want even more wisdom, inspiration and only good things?
