Stop chasing ceilings. In this raw, no-fluff episode, Ashleigh Mayfield delivers the honest conversation she wishes someone had given her nine and a half years ago. After building to the top of her previous company and walking away to start from zero, she's learned exactly what separates those who hit their goals from those who keep saying "next month."

She breaks down the three things holding you back: a low standard for how you operate, the voice in your head running the show, and selective urgency that only kicks in when pressure hits. You'll learn why raising your foundation matters more than shattering ceilings, how to show up as the finish line version of yourself before you've crossed it, and a simple strategy for eating the elephant one bite at a time.

If you've been telling yourself you're "all in" but your habits tell a different story — brace for impact.

Are you tired of setting the same goals year after year with nothing to show for it? If December 2025 looks exactly like December 2024, it's time for a new approach.

In this episode, Ashleigh Mayfield breaks down the 7 essential life categories you need to address if you want 2026 to be your breakthrough year. Drawing from nearly a decade of coaching women and her own journey to paying off $63,801.99 in just six months, Ashleigh delivers a no-fluff framework for creating lasting change.

What you'll learn:

• Why most people fail at their goals (and it's not what you think)
• The 7 pillars every vision board needs to include
• How to identify what fills your cup vs. what drains you
• The mindset shift that separates those who quit from those who succeed
• Why "every time I choose to stop, I disqualify myself" changed everything
• Practical strategies for accountability, financial freedom, and building real community

Whether you're building a business, strengthening your marriage, getting your health back on track, or deepening your faith—this episode gives you the roadmap to stop planning to fail and start executing with intention.

Key Topics: Goal setting, vision boards, New Year planning, personal development, financial freedom, debt payoff, mental discipline, Christian living, work-life balance, accountability, building community
