Holding your Goals Loosely with Melissa Wesner

This episode of the Wise Practice Podcast features a discussion between the host and esteemed guest, Melissa Wesner. The podcast centers on the struggles of goal-setting within an entrepreneurial context and brings an insightful perspective on setting goals in a consciously relaxed, spiritually-centered manner. In this spirit, they propose that the attachment to the outcome of our goals is possibly detrimental and advocate for a community-based approach to goal setting.
