115.How to Design Your Perfect Year: A Roadmap for Thriving Couples | Road of Life Podcast

Happy New Year! In this episode of the Road of Life podcast, we dive into our personal "Year-End Reflection and Goal Setting" process to help you kick off 2026 with clarity and connection. As marriedpreneurs, we know (from experience) that our business success is tied to our marriage success, and that starts with getting aligned on where you're headed.

We discuss why typical New Year’s resolutions usually fail (often by January 17) and offer a more sustainable alternative: Performance-Based Goals. Instead of just focusing on the "outcome" (like hitting a revenue number), we get into how focusing on daily habits and things within your control bypass the usual obstacles like fear of failure, and builds real momentum.

Key highlights include:

• The "Word & Song" Vibe: How choosing a theme song and a "word of the year" helps set your subconscious energy. Tune in for our words and songs for 2026.
• Digital Vision Boards: Our hack for keeping goals front-and-center by creating custom phone lock screens that serve as a constant "subconscious jolt."
• Letters to the Future: The power of writing a letter on New Year’s Eve to your future self, documenting your wins as if they’ve already happened, and the fun and (often) surprise of reading what "past you" prioritized.
• Holistic Goal Setting: Why it’s critical to set goals across five key areas -Professional, Personal, Relationship, Health/Vitality, and Community – to ensure you don't build a business at the expense of your happiness.
