280. Turning the Page: Les Alfred of 'Balanced Black Girl' On Why She's Not Setting Goals for 2024


Listen Later

Les Alfred didn't accomplish any of the goals she set for 2023, and she's entirely at peace with that. Adored the opportunity to sit down with one of my friends, Les, host of The Balanced Black Girl podcast for the second installment of the Turning the Page series. In today's episode, we talk about how to set SMART goals, how to avoid unrealistic expectations and putting too much pressure on ourselves, and the cross-country move that changed Les' life for the better. She also shares her theme of the year, proudest and most difficult moments of 2023, her person of the year (hint: It's not Taylor Swift), and something she hopes to do more of in the next 365.
