Most people don’t struggle with goal setting because they lack discipline. They struggle because they never slow down long enough to clarify what they truly want.

In part three of the Goal Setting That Sticks series, we focus on desire before strategy. This episode will help you move away from “should” goals and toward goals that feel aligned, sustainable, and rooted in who you are becoming in midlife.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

1. Why clarifying desire is the foundation of goal setting that sticks
2. How hidden desires show up as restlessness and resentment
3. Why planning too early cuts off clarity
4. How to anchor your goals to your identity instead of motivation
5. Why focusing on fewer priorities leads to better follow-through

We all know New Year’s resolutions don’t work… yet we keep making them anyway. In part two of the Goal Setting That Sticks series, I’m sharing a different approach. One that’s rooted in identity, alignment, and intention, not pressure or willpower.

Instead of starting with resolutions, you’ll learn how to choose a theme for the year that acts as your North Star and helps you follow through long after January.

In this episode, we cover:

1. Why resolutions fail (and why it’s not a motivation problem)
2. How identity drives lasting change
3. What a “theme for the year” really is and how to choose yours
4. Why future-you work makes follow-through easier
5. How to use your theme as a guide all year long

What if the reason your goals don’t stick has nothing to do with discipline or motivation… and everything to do with skipping reflection?

In Part 1 of this 6-week series, I’m sharing a new way to approach goal setting by starting with a powerful year-end review. One that builds clarity, self-trust, and momentum before you ever set a single goal.

In this episode, we talk about:

1. Why rushing into goals on January 1st actually works against you
2. The four biggest reasons goals usually fizzle out by February
3. How reflection shifts you from lack into abundance
4. Why identity work matters more than outcomes
5. How a year-end review creates clarity for what comes next
