In today’s His + Hers episode, Brittany's husband, Charles, is back on the mic and they’re talking about how they actually set goals as a couple — in a way that fits real life.

The version where you’re balancing work, family, capacity, emotions, and the day-to-day responsibilities that can easily pull you out of alignment.

We talk about what worked for us in 2025, what didn’t, what goals didn’t happen (and why that doesn’t mean we failed), and how we’ve learned to communicate our goals in a way that feels supportive — not stressful.

If you and your partner have different personalities, different motivation styles, or you’ve ever felt out of sync when it comes to vision and priorities… this conversation is for you. 🤍

In this episode, we talk about:

• How we’ve been since the last time Charlie was on the podcast

• Why “wins” should include all areas of life — not just work or fitness

• Our 2025 goals that didn’t happen (garage + backyard projects 😅)

• The truth about capacity and why some goals move with you into the next year

• Our different goal-setting styles (calendar motivation vs reflection motivation)

• Setting goals based on character: who you want to be, not just what you want to do

• What derails us (LIFE… overwhelm… and sometimes ourselves)

• What turns us off about goal setting (pressure + rigidity)

• How to communicate goals with your partner in a way that actually lands

• Why the “WHY” matters more than the “WHAT” (especially in marriage)

• Being a cheerleader vs a reality checker — and learning the difference

• Practicing pause instead of living in reaction mode

• The habit that changed everything for us: calendar check-ins

• How fun + fulfillment belong in your vision too

• Advice for couples who want to feel aligned again

Goal setting as a couple isn’t about having the perfect plan.
It’s about building a life you love together — one honest conversation at a time.
