Stop Settling for “Realistic” Goals — With April Roberts

In this episode of The Pursuit of Badasserie, we sit down with April Roberts, coach, entrepreneur, and alignment expert. April shares her journey from practicing law to building a coaching business — a transition driven by a growing sense that her work wasn’t aligned with her values or her truth.

We dig into why alignment isn’t a “nice-to-have” — it’s a business strategy. When your work, your values, and the people you surround yourself with aren’t aligned, success starts to feel hollow. April explains how deep self-reflection and honesty can uncover what you actually want — not what you think is realistic or expected.

We also talk about the power of community and coaching for high-achieving women who often feel isolated at the top. April shares how mastermind groups and mentorship can help break through resistance, reshape identity, and accelerate growth. Then we dive into her bold approach to goal setting: setting “delusional” goals that force you to expand, evolve, and level up.

This episode is for anyone who’s tired of playing small, settling for “good enough,” or chasing success that doesn’t feel like them. If you’re ready to align your life and business with your values, build support systems that push you forward, and dream bigger than you thought possible — this conversation will challenge you and inspire you to take the next brave step.
