Headed Home Podcast

Feeling overwhelmed by goals, pressure, and the sense that you’re already behind this year? You’re not alone.

In this episode, Jen and Andrew step back to talk honestly about what it means to reset when life feels full. They reflect on the past year, including moments of growth, seasons of overwhelm, and the realization that sometimes slowing down is exactly what allows you to move forward.

They share the practice that has helped guide their family and business decisions for years, inspired by Darren Hardy’s Living Your Best Year Ever. Instead of chasing motivation or unrealistic resolutions, they focus on something far more powerful: reflection, intentional goal-setting, and weekly rhythms that align daily life with long-term priorities.

Throughout the conversation, they also discuss the importance of protecting the marriage while building careers, raising kids, and pursuing big goals. One of the ways they do this is by intentionally pulling away from the daily grind each year to reflect, dream, and design the year ahead.

If you have ever felt burned out by traditional goal-setting or unsure how to make real progress in your life, this episode offers a practical and encouraging approach.

In this episode, you will learn:• Why reflection is the starting point for meaningful change• How choosing a word for the year can shape decisions and perspective• The goal system Jen and Andrew have used for years to stay focused• Why weekly review matters more than motivation• How high achievers can protect their marriage while pursuing big goals• Why stepping away from your environment can create clarity

Your best year does not start with more effort. It starts with more intention.

In this episode, Jen and Andrew check in on a Friday night and give updates about how they have kept sane during a particularly busy and trying season of their lives.
