In this episode I reveal the transformative power of intention setting as an effective and sustainable approach to achieving your goals. All too often we set measurable, time-specific goals that are rigid, too disruptive, and lead to missed milestones, feelings of failure, and quitting. Statistics show most new year resolutions last only the first few weeks. There's a key reason why and that's rooted in overlooking our values and intentions. Listen in to find out how intentions can be defined and combined with traditional goals to lead to a more fulfilling and successful journey. You'll get a framework for how to  identify your core values, set intentional goals, and craft a sustainable path for personal growth. The key is a mindset that prioritizes the journey over the mere destination and helps you start living your healthiest and happiest life with greater long-term success than the traditional goal approach.
