If you've ever set a goal and thought, "When I achieve this, my life will finally be so much better!" this episode is for you.

If you've ever thought that if you just achieve ______ goal, you'll finally be okay with yourself, this episode is for you.

That's what goaling your way to self acceptance is: trying to achieve our way to feeling better about ourselves. The only problem with this is that it never ever works, we bring so much misery upon ourselves, and we're so much less likely to achieve the goal at all.

Listen to hear:

• delightful tales of disasterous attempts at trying to goal our way to self acceptance
• how believing a goal is the answer to happiness actually makes you miserable
• and how much easier and more fun it is to make the decision to accept yourself up front
