The new year is loud. Full of goals, resolutions, and pressure to become “better” overnight. In this episode of Sunflower Sessions, Emily slows things down and invites you to set intentions rooted in clarity, values, and purpose.

Drawing from Stephen R. Covey’s principle Begin With the End in Mind, along with real research on values based goal setting, this episode explores how light brings awareness, truth brings alignment, and why meaningful change starts with who you want to become, not just what you want to do.

Emily shares personal insight from her journey as a family and human services student through BYU Pathways Worldwide, practical tools for creating value driven goals, and her dad’s favorite reminder that a goal not written down is merely a wish.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or tired of running on autopilot, this episode offers a calmer, more intentional way forward.

Let’s shed some light, find some truth, and step into the new year with purpose.
