Did you accomplish all of your goals in 2023 or did your "resolutions" flop by February? Don't worry - you're not alone! We know how frustrating it is to start the new year feeling motivated, only to look back at unaccomplished and unfulfilled goals.

On this episode, we’re talking with Dr. Rachel Heller about the importance of setting goals, the difference between goals and resolutions, and how to ACTUALLY ACCOMPLISH your goals this year. 

Dr. Rachel Heller is a Physical Therapist at Made 2 Move and a Yoga teacher who specializes in finding balance between physical therapy, performance training & mindful movement.
