You know what's wild? We spend so much time trying to fix what we're not good at that we forget to use what we're actually great at.

In this episode, I'm getting real about the day I stopped trying to be the "perfect entrepreneur" and started building my business around what I'm naturally good at. Spoiler: everything changed.

If you've been feeling like you're not enough or like everyone else has it figured out except you, this episode is for you. We're done with the comparison game. We're done trying to be well-rounded. It's time to leverage YOUR strengths and build the life you actually want.

IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL DISCOVER:

• Why focusing on your weaknesses is keeping you stuck (and what to do instead)
• How to identify your unique strengths in under 10 minutes
• The exact framework I used to build my business around what I'm naturally good at
• How to turn your strengths into habits that make success automatic
• Why your past experiences are actually your secret weapon

THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR YOU IF:

• You're tired of comparing yourself to everyone else
• You feel like you're working hard but not making progress
• You know you're capable of more but can't figure out how to get there
• You're ready to stop fighting your nature and start winning with it

New year, new goals, but this time, you're actually going to finish them. Dr. Alice introduces the backward planning framework that turns your 2026 goals into clear, actionable steps so you know exactly what to do this week to build real momentum.

In this episode, you'll learn why most people struggle with achieving their goals (hint: it's not about discipline or motivation), and you'll walk through a simple 4-step process to take any big, overwhelming goal and break it into monthly milestones and weekly actions you can actually complete.

What You'll Learn:

• Why your goals keep failing (and what to do instead)
• The difference between planning and backward planning
• How to turn a massive goal into small, actionable steps
• The biblical foundation for planning with purpose
• A step-by-step exercise to map out your biggest goal for 2026

Key Takeaway: Goals are not achieved in your head. They're completed in your calendar.
