Be Your Best Self: A New Year Reset (Part 1) | Goal Setting Without the Pressure
Let Go, Choose Your Word & Set Achievable Goals in 2026.
What if you could approach the new year without all the pressure? In this episode, I'm sharing Part 1 of a gentle, science-backed approach to setting intentions that actually work.
Before you listen: 👉 Download your FREE New Year Reset workbook: workmuse.com/bestself
When you sign up, you'll get the complete workbook with all 5 exercises plus a bonus, and email guidance, with flexibility and on your timeline.
In Episode 59, you'll learn:
Day 1: What to Leave Behind
- A powerful camera roll exercise to reflect on the past year
- How to decide what no longer serves you (without judgment)
- How to identify the "rocks in your backpack" to release what's holding you back
Day 2: Choose Your Word of the Year
- Why one word is more powerful than multiple resolutions
- How to choose between words of reflection, change, or connection
- Real examples from my past Word of the Years and those who've joined our reset the past three years 💡
Day 3: Setting Achievable Goals
- The SMARTER framework that actually works
- Why most people fail (they forget the HOW)
- 5 goal-setting mistakes to avoid, and how to break goals into micro-actions
Why this matters: The past year has felt rough—from economic and political uncertainty, to AI disruption and job market challenges. When everything external feels chaotic, the most powerful thing you can do is center yourself internally.
Pro Tip: Save episodes 59 & 60 to work through all five exercises (and the bonus ✨) on your timeline.
