Why Your Goals Aren't Working — And What to Do Instead

Episode Overview

In this season opener, Debbie shares the mindset principles that have transformed every area of her life — from health and business to happiness and day-to-day peace. If you've ever set goals and missed the mark, or wondered why motivation doesn't stick, this episode gives you a new way to think about growth, success, and showing up for yourself.

The three types of goals — and why most people are only setting Type A

• Why Big Hairy Audacious Goals (Type C) change who you become, even if you haven't hit them yet
• The mindset shift that makes you feel successful every single day — not just when you hit a target
• Why protecting your mind is as important as any skill you'll ever learn
• How subconscious programming shapes the goals you're willing to believe in

The goals that excite and terrify you in equal measure. These are your North Star. Debbie shares how her 2025 Type C goal was to become extremely healthy — and how having that clarity shaped every decision she made last year.

Your 3 Action Steps This Week

1. Ask yourself what you really want. Not what's possible. Not what makes sense right now. What do you actually want — in your health, relationships, finances, and experiences? Write it down without worrying about the how.
2. Audit your current goals. Are they Type A, B, or C? Are you stretching yourself or playing it safe? The type of goal you set determines the type of person you're asking yourself to become.
3. Protect your mind. Unfollow what drains you. Create boundaries around news and social media. Consciously choose what gets in — podcasts, books, conversations, and people that lift you higher.
