Cultivate What Matters

We're two weeks into the New Year, friend! Have you noticed the gym traffic dying down and the fresh produce aisle being slightly less crowded? If so, you might already know why we love goal setting in 90-day windows! It can be daunting to remain committed to your goals after your New Year's Day energy wears off, and you still have a lot to accomplish! Setting short-term goals as you break down your yearly goals can help you make big progress! At Cultivate, we're hooked on 90-day windows for goal setting—and in this episode, we're explaining why you will love it, too!

In this episode, we're talking about the dreaded anxiety! Yikes! Maybe you have it or have experienced it or maybe you know someone who suffers with anxiety—if anxiety or worries or even overanalyzing has ever stopped you from achieving what you want out of life, you're going to love today's episode!

Ever heard us say "We're with you every step of the way!"? Well, we mean it! In this week's episode, Kristin and Kelley share their top 3 personal goals for 2023 and discuss the practical ways they're breaking them down. If you like helpful tips for reaching your goals little by little (plus a surprise community reading challenge!), this one's for you. Come join us!

We're just going to say it: trash your resolutions this year! In this week's episode, we're talking about the harsh reality of New Year's Resolutions (most of them are never completed!) and giving you tips to stick with your goals once and for all. You'll learn how to think through the underlying issues that stop you from reaching your goals and hear real (and honest!) examples from Kristin and Kelley's personal goal-setting journeys. Come join us!

Yes, it's the most wonderful time of the year, but for some, the holiday season can feel distressing. In this week's episode, we're tackling the big question: what's the best thing to do when the holidays feel hard? You'll learn how to treasure small moments, facilitate joy around you, participate in small acts of kindness—and, yes, even grieve well if you need to! Come join us!
