This year, I want to invite you to think about goals differently.

Most people set goals that won’t disrupt their life, their identity, or their nervous system.

They choose goals that are sensible, comfortable-
Goals their brain can agree to without breaking a sweat.

And while those goals feel safe, they rarely change anything.

In this episode of the podcast, I’m talking about the goals that don’t feel reasonable—the big, bodacious, badass ones.

The goals that make you hesitate before saying them out loud because you know they’ll require you to become a different version of yourself.

The ones that trigger that familiar internal alarm whispering, “This feels dangerous.”

If that made your heart beat a little faster… this episode is for you.

Listen to the podcast below or subscribe on Apple, Spotify and most major podcast platforms.

In this episode you’ll discover:

Why you can’t create big bodacious goals from the same level of thinking that created smaller ones

How we subtly negotiate with fear—and how that keeps us stuck playing safe

Why big goals demand an inside-out identity shift, not just better strategies

How your brain sets a “success thermostat”—and how to reset it

Why the quality of the questions you ask yourself directly impacts the results you create

And why who you become on the way to the goal matters more than the goal itself

If you know you’re meant for more—but feel the pull of safety keeping you where you are—this conversation will shift how you see your goals, your fear, and yourself.
