Goals and resolutions are helpful constructs, and today, we deconstruct some of what makes goals more likely to be reached. SMART goals, Big Hairy Audacious goals, and where goals fit with our life’s purpose and our habits are all topics on the table today! We also dip our toes into the diet/diet culture/body positivity/healthy habit change/Lizzo-Jillian Michaels dust-up. Lace up and join in!
