Mind your own Beeswax

Can you believe we are 25% through 2026?! In this episode of Mind Your Own Beeswax, I’m sharing a real, honest look at how my 2026 goals are going. 

Key goal setting tips for 2026:

• Break goals down into quarterly plans.
• Set goals for every area of your life.
• Becoming the kind of person who achieves the goal matters more than the goal itself.
• If you don't know what goal to pursue yet, start pursuing yourself. Work on becoming the healthiest, most happy, most confident version of you. 

This is your reminder that progress over perfection is what actually gets you results and that even small goals (like booking appointments or building habits) can lead to big life changes.

I’m also sharing my Q2 goals and plans, including growing this podcast to 1000 downloads, getting back on track with routines, and pushing myself out of my comfort zone.

Whether you’re doing a quarterly reset, goal review, or trying to stay motivated in 2026, this episode will help you refocus and move forward.

In this episode, I explain The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz in less than 30 minutes. If you don’t want to read this book then everything you need to know is summarised in this episode!  Short, simple, and deeply impactful, this episode dives into the beliefs we’ve carried since childhood and challenges you to rethink everything you thought we knew about yourself.

I explore how our “agreements” (aka beliefs) are shaped early in life, often without our awareness, and how they influence our idea of success, happiness, and even perfection. One of the biggest mindset shifts? Realising that our greatest fear isn’t death it’s living authentically.

I then break down the four agreements:

1. Be impeccable with your word
2. Don’t make assumptions
3. Don’t take anything personally
4. Always do your best

These may sound simple, but applying them can completely transform how you think, communicate, and show up in your life. I give you my perspective and opinion on what these agreements mean to me and how I am applying them in my life. 

The Four Agreements book summary is The Four Agreements explained simply, including how to apply the four agreements in real life. This episode also explores how to stop taking things personally, how to stop assuming things in relationships, and shares simple self improvement habits and easy mindset shifts for happiness.

Think of this episode as the “lazy girl’s guide” to a better mindset, no need to read the book, I have all the juicy takeaways right here.

Do you want to learn how to turn failure into success? Or change one of the worst moments in your life into one of the best things to ever happen to you? Then this episode is for you. I spill the tea on one of the worst moments of my career, getting fired from my first full-time job, BUT now years later it’s one of the best things to ever happen. In this episode I discuss:  

• How to overcome any setback in life
• How to shift your mindset from failure into opportunity.
• Why rock bottom can become a foundation for growth.
• How any setbacks can actually redirect you toward something better
• How to turn failure into your biggest breakthroughs
• How to reframe any negative situation into a positive one

It’s a simple message, hitting rock bottom can become a foundation for growth. The situations that feel like failures in the moment may later reveal themselves as the catalyst for something better. Whether you’re dealing with job loss, a breakup, or another life setback, there’s often a lesson, a redirection, or a higher standard waiting on the other side.

The key message from this episode: When you are going through a rough time or at rock bottom, there is always... 

1. A lesson for you to learn

2.  Something better is coming your way 

3. A new standard for yourself to never let this happen again
