73: Mid-January Reality Check: Why You're Not "Behind" on Your Goals (and What To Do Instead)
I'm back! And I'll be honest with you, I'm recording this impromptu, sitting in my favorite Christmas PJs in the middle of January, because that is where my energy is today.
After stepping back in December to prioritize my family and my own alignment, I realized something: so many of us are already beating ourselves up. We're only two weeks into the year, and if you feel like you've already "dropped the ball" on your goals, I want you to take a deep breath. You aren't behind. In many ways, the year is just beginning now that the holiday haze has finally cleared.
In this episode, I'm talking about:
Walking my talk: Why I chose to disappear from the podcast for a month to protect my energy.
Wishes vs. Plans: Why most people quit their goals by January 13th and how to make sure you aren't one of them.
Why I don't do "SMART" goals: I'm sharing why I prefer "delusional" and unrealistic goals that actually force me to uplevel.
The 2025 Audit: A simple way to look back at your highs and lows to build a roadmap for a rocking 2026.
Remember, we either get the results we want or the lessons we need. Either way, it's a win.
"A goal is never about the goal; a goal is about who you get to become in the process of getting to that goal."
