I'm super excited to share Episode 93 with you. Between managing my kids' activities and juggling my own commitments, I found a moment to sit down and really dive into the topic of goals. And let me tell you, it's not just your typical New Year resolution chat. I've got some fresh, insightful perspectives on goals and what they really mean for us.

Topics Covered:

Introduction to Goals: I kicked off the episode discussing the importance of goals, not just at the beginning of the year but all year round.
Rejecting 'New Year, New You'
The True Value of Goals: How goals are essential for providing focus and direction, rather than just being endpoints.
Becoming Through Goals: A key theme was how the journey to achieving a goal is often more valuable than the goal itself.
Marathon Running Example: I used the example of training for a marathon to illustrate personal growth and change that occur when pursuing a challenging goal.
My approach to weight loss and financial goals.
Contrast in Approaches: I contrasted positive, love-led goal pursuit with negative, self-deprecating approaches and their respective outcomes.
The Importance of Intention: The episode highlighted how the intention behind setting a goal significantly influences the journey and the outcome.
