What if the secret to getting unstuck is creating a bigger problem for yourself?

In this episode, Dr. Amy Lindsey continues her story of how a hip replacement, a dream to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, and a little midlife magic led her from depression to joy… and eventually, to a farmhouse in France.

Dr. Amy unpacks how setting soul-aligned goals (not “should” goals) can rewire your dopamine pathways, reboot your motivation, and reconnect you with purpose. She explores the science behind why most goal-setting burns us out and how shifting from perfection to presence creates real, lasting change.

This is a story about healing, humility, and honoring your inner voice. If you’ve ever felt stuck between who you were and who you’re becoming, this one’s for you.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why “creating a bigger problem” can actually heal burnout

• The science of dopamine and midlife motivation

• How to replace all-or-nothing thinking with daily micro-moves

• The three rules of soul-aligned goal-setting

• How one mountain led to France (and why magic loves momentum)
