In this episode, I reflect on what goal setting truly means. Instead of rigid New Year’s resolutions, I explore a more compassionate, growth-centered approach to setting goals through the power of poetry.

I talk about listening to your heart’s desires and what it really means to honor them. In a world that often feels chaotic and unpredictable, choosing joy and purpose becomes an intentional act. Growth isn’t always about pushing harder — sometimes it’s about aligning more deeply with who you are and what matters most.

I also share a personal story about how visualization helped me move through a moment that felt incredibly big and a milestone. Living with FND (Functional Neurological Disorder) has reshaped the way I approach challenges, and mental rehearsal has become a powerful tool. By visualizing myself navigating the experience successfully beforehand, I was able to build confidence and show up in a way I once thought wasn’t possible.

This episode is a reminder that:

• Goals can evolve — and it’s okay to change your mind
  
• Learning and growth aren’t linear
  
• Your desires matter, even when they don’t make sense to others
  
• Visualization can be a powerful ally in facing difficult moments
  

Ultimately, this episode is about giving yourself permission — permission to grow, to pivot, to dream differently, and to define success on your own terms.

Because sometimes the bravest goal you can set is simply to become more fully yourself.
