I believe that one of the reasons many people dislike goal setting is because they've attached a lot of guilt, shame, and blame to themselves when things go wrong.

But it doesn't have to be that way.

What if instead of making yourself feel bad when things don't go as planned, you decided to extend grace and space to yourself instead?

Listen in to this week's episode to learn more about why grace and space matter AND to hear a big announcement about the future of this show.

How has your progress toward your goals been so far this year?

Quite often, I've found that when you aren't making as much progress as you'd like, it's because you are spending too much time engaged in backward-facing activities, instead of forward-facing activities.

What's the difference between these two kinds of activities? And how can you tell if you're over-indulging in one of them? An activity audit will show you!

This week, I turn 53.

I was what you would consider to be a later-in-life bloomer.

I didn't really get my act together to decide what I wanted to be when I "grew up" until I was 38 and that target has changed several times since then.

If your brain is telling you "I'm too old" as a way of keeping you from flying, this episode is for you.

Listen in to learn about my journey -- and what I have ahead for the next 53 years!

Our minds are filled with the thoughts, stories, and beliefs that we’ve been carrying our whole entire lives.

They are so much a part of us that we never stop to ask ourselves if these thoughts that we are using to make decisions about our lives are actually our chosen truth (or if they’re even helpful).

In this week's episode, we’re shining the spotlight on our minds to see if the things we believe to be our truth and make decisions about our life, are actually true at all, or if they are just stories we tell ourselves.

Happy 2024!

Before I dive into the new year, I want to take a minute to share with you the 10 lessons that I learned about myself, my business, and my potential in 2023.

These lessons are deep and taking the time to reflect on them is setting me up for even bigger success in 2024.

My hope is that you can learn something from my journey and that your 2024 is the best one yet for ALL of us!
