the new year is approaching...that means it's time to set new goals.

trying to achieve all your goals can start to feel overwhelming really quickly.

the pressure, the timelines, the constant feeling that you’re behind — it’s exhausting.

in today’s episode, we talk about a calmer, more honest approach to achieving your goals. not through forcing, grinding, or becoming a completely different person — but through clarity, alignment, and small shifts that actually stick.

we talk about:

-why most goal

-setting advice doesn’t work long

-term-the quiet habits that create real momentum

-how to stay committed to a goal without burning yourself out

-building consistency that supports your life, not drains it.

this episode isn’t about doing more. it’s about doing what matters, consistently, and trusting that you’re closer than you think.

i love you x
