How to Set Goals Like an Academic, an Artist, and an Alchemist | Ep. 226


Listen Later

In this episode, I’m rethinking the way we set goals. The classic “SMART goals” method works for some, but I believe there’s a more personalized approach. I introduce three archetypes—the Academic, the Artist, and the Alchemist—each offering a unique lens to help you find a goal-setting style that actually fits your life.

The Academic thrives on structure, clarity, and reflection. If you love systems and tracking progress, this method might speak to you. The Artist, on the other hand, leads with emotion and vision. Creative constraints, vision boards, and intuition help shape goals that feel alive and inspiring. Then there’s the Alchemist, who blends transformation with intentionality, using symbolism, ritual, and self-discovery to guide the journey.

I also share how I’ve moved between these styles in different seasons of life—and how powerful it can be to let your goals evolve with you. If you’re tired of rigid systems and want something that honors who you are, this episode will help you find a new way forward.

You’ll also hear about a free mini-course with tools to support you as you explore your own style. Whether you lean Academic, Artist, Alchemist—or a little of each—you’ll leave this episode with clarity and inspiration for what’s next.
