If you’ve learned how to pause and notice —
but you’re not sure how to choose differently…

If you want goals that feel aligned instead of exhausting…

If you’re ready to move from awareness into intentional action…

This episode is for you.

In this episode of Get Gritty With Me, Coach April kicks off Values Month by showing how values-based goals create clarity, direction, and sustainable resilience — especially when motivation fades.

Using her own long-term pursuit of qualifying for the XTERRA World Championship as a real-life case study, April walks you through how she leverages her core values — wholeheartedness, excellence, and impact — to choose goals that support who she’s becoming, not just what she’s chasing.

This isn’t about grinding harder.
It’s about choosing what’s worth your energy.

You’ll hear how:

• mindfulness creates the pause, but values create direction
• values-based goals are identity-driven, not outcome-driven
• wholeheartedness requires full presence, not perfection
• excellence is built through preparation, skill, and integrity
• impact comes from modeling what’s possible, not proving worth
• values protect against burnout disguised as discipline
• resilience is built by returning to who you are when plans fall apart

This episode sets the foundation for the entire January series on values-based goal setting — and shows you how to anchor your goals to something deeper than motivation.

If you want more clarity…
If you want goals that support resilience instead of draining it…
If you’re ready to choose with intention…

Press play.

Because awareness shows you the truth —
values help you live it.

If today’s episode resonated and you’re wondering how to apply this in your own life, April created a one-page Values → Behavior → Goal worksheet to help you put this work into action.
