We’d love to hear from you! Send us a text!
You've hit every milestone. You've exceeded expectations. And yet… you're running on empty.
This isn't a motivational pep talk. This is a guided goal setting workshop designed specifically for those who are successful on paper but secretly depleted in reality.
What This Episode Is
This is an interactive, pause-as-you-go workshop where you'll:
- Audit your current relationship with achievement (and why it might be costing you)
- Identify the difference between goals that energize you vs. goals that extract from you
- Build your 2026 roadmap from a place of deep self-knowledge, not societal expectation
- Learn to set goals that honor both your ambition AND your humanity
What Makes This Different
Most goal setting frameworks are built for optimization. This one is built for integration—aligning what you want with who you actually are and what you actually have capacity for.
You'll leave with: ✓ A clear, intentional vision for 2026
✓ Goals rooted in self-awareness, not just achievement
✓ Permission to want what you want (even if it's rest)
✓ A framework you can return to year after year
Who This Is For
This episode is for you if:
- You're "successful" but exhausted
- You keep setting goals that look good but feel heavy
- You're ready to stop proving and start choosing
- You want your 2026 to feel aligned, not just accomplished
How to Use This Episode
Grab a journal, pause as needed, and work through each reflection prompt. This isn't background listening—this is your planning session.
