The resolution and goal frenzy is loud - and frustrating. What if there is a richer path?

Stephanie and Maren kick off the year by turning goal setting on its head. They reframe why we set goals, how we measure progress, and what actually sustains motivation when the novelty fades.

👉🏻 Instead of chasing numbers to prove worth, they explore how to build meaning like a skill.

👉🏻 They unpack a pivotal shift: goals are less about the finish line and more about who you become on the way.

👉🏻 They expose the danger of borrowed metrics, insightfully discuss why removing every roadblock dulls growth, and share how to recognize the subtle indicators of inner growth and transformation.

👉🏻 You’ll hear how to unlock connection and joy, as well as how to rewire stress responses.

Their personal, candid stories of burnout, rebuilding, and small reframes that changed everything, map a path from external validation to inner alignment that you can apply right away.

If you’ve ever experienced goals as heavy, joyless, or strangely empty even when you hit them, their conversation offers a practical alternative. Are you ready to…

• align challenges with your deeper why
• choose battles that genuinely grow you
• craft an inner story that stops the blame/shame monster and creates motivation instead

Today’s podcast offers a better scoreboard—one that values resilience, clarity, and heart alongside outcomes.
