New Year's resolutions can be punishing - stop doing this, start doing that. Instead, Lee Chaix McDonough recommends setting gentle intentions for 2023 and holding goals loosely, allowing them to guide rather than dictate. She also builds flexibility into her plans, allowing goals to pivot as life changes. 

Previously, Lee was a psychotherapist using an approach called acceptance and commitment therapy. Now she is coaching coaches and provides her advice for coaches starting out. She also discusses the idea of valued living, the link between pleasure and profit, and the importance of offering yourself forgiveness. 

Lee Chaix McDonough is the founder of Coach With Clarity, check out her podcast, and her book ACT On Your Business: Braving the storms of entrepreneurship and creating success through meaning, mindset, and mindfulness.
