Have you ever woken up feeling more like a spectator in your own life rather than the director? 
 
In this episode of the Brain's Coach podcast, we talk about how to go from feeling stuck to taking action towards creating the life you want WITHOUT traditional goal-setting, ... starting first thing in the morning. 
 
Angela shares her personal practice, why creating something—like writing, podcasting, or even making breakfast— first thing in the morning can help you feel more in control and motivated, especially if you're feeling lost or disconnected from the life you want.  
 

Angela also shares her personal struggles with feeling proud of her achievements while still feeling frustrated about unaccomplished goals, anxious about the future AND what helped her get back to feeling excited about the year ahead, motivated to take immediate action. 
 
Instead of focusing on traditional goal-setting, we'll explore simple 2 questions that help you shift into future-building mood and mode to create more of the life you want - work, relationships, health and happiness. 
 
Tune in to learn how to feel more confident and in charge of your life.
