I mean, that's the dream, right? Every day, you want to be making step-by-step, clear progress directly from where you are now all the way to your big goals. Yeah, me too.

Not to be dramatic, but… yeah, this podcast could change your entire goal-getting journey from non-stop struggle into the kind of just-right challenge that feels amazing.

There’s something you’re doing right now (and I’ll tell you what it is during the episode, I promise) that’s making every part of getting your goal harder than it needs to be.

It’s the reason choosing your goal feels hard. It’s the reason imagining yourself succeeding feels hard. It’s the reason collecting data and keeping records feels hard. It’s the reason (this one’s the worst) you get all the way to your goal, but then hanging onto it feels so hard that you let it go.

My friend, when everything feels hard, THIS is why.

You’re trying to get all your tasks done, every day, so you can get to your goal. You know you’ll have to work hard and make sacrifices, and do without, and push yourself. And, you’re mostly willing to do that, but also, sometimes it just feels SO hard.

Is this really what it takes to get your goals?

The short answer is no. And also...

Let’s talk about taking a familiar mindset shift – from “I have to” into “I want to” – another layer deeper. Because, yes, sometimes you give lip service to this concept and tell yourself, “I’m choosing to…” while not actually feeling that you have a choice.

In this nuanced conversation, we’re taking your mindset work to a higher level, where you can truly feel the agency you have over getting your goals.

You’re doing everything, but not seeing the results you want, and you feel like you’re just not making progress on your big goals. Most coaches (including me, back in the day) will tell you to do more of what you’re already doing, or to move on to a different strategy. But what you really need to look at are these six essential goal-getting areas.

This isn’t a typical “tips and tricks” episode, it’s a deep dive into the nuances of what it really takes to rewire your brain and finally get that goal you’ve been dreaming about for years.

No more wasting time chasing down a shiny new strategy or languishing in feeling like a failure – this episode will show you six places to take an honest, loving look at your journey so you can move forward with calm confidence and get your goal.

I know you’re struggling with this idea of being a goal-getting woman in the world today, and I know this is a question that’s on your mind, so let’s talk about it.

The short answer is that no, it’s not a bad time to get your goal.

But taking that in intellectually is different than feeling it to be true, and the point of today’s podcast is to start you on the road to bone-deep knowing that getting your goal is the choice that’s best for you and (not to be dramatic, but here we go…) the whole world.

How do you do that? Well, listen to the episode, and I’ll tell you all about it.

If you’re listening for it, you’ll hear an awkward edit right in the middle of the most emotionally compelling part of this podcast, and it’s because I had to cut out the part where I choked on my own saliva. 🤣🤦‍♀️🙄

If you don’t notice it, all the better, because this episode is a good one.

We’re talking about mindset blocks today – how you know you’ve got them (you do), how ambitious overthinkers like you and I try to outsmart them (it doesn’t work), and what to do that actually dissolves them (feel your feelings).

If you’re ready to stop saying things like, “It’s hard for me to get my goal” and see yourself, hear yourself, understand yourself, and trust yourself all the way to your goal… this episode is for you. 😘

Let’s start with this: your goal isn’t too big.

But, nice as that is to hear, I know you won’t really believe it until you listen to the whole podcast, where I explain exactly what’s going on behind the scenes in your brain, why taking the “reasonable” route is weirdly harder than just going for your big goals, and how to actually feel solid, grounded and full of possibility, no matter what you want.

Questioning your goals is something that every overthinker is familiar with, and faced with all that indecision and self-doubt, lots of us give up before we really even get going.

So inside this episode, I’m sharing two actionable items you can do TODAY to start moving forward with confidence.

These are the notes I wrote before recording this podcast today. I am a LOT more concise in writing than I am when I’m speaking. 🤣

Either way, this is good info if you want to know how to stop wasting time, but just so you know… in the podcast, I tell funny stories, too!

How To Stop Wasting Time

The problem: you have a Big Goal, and you know what you need to be doing to get it, but every day you find yourself not doing what it takes. You’re wasting time on menial tasks that you don’t even care about, or you’re playing games on your phone for hours when you meant to be doing other things.

The solution you’ve been trying that doesn’t work: You’re buying planners and calendars, you watch videos about productivity, you buy courses to teach you about time blocking, you vow to be more disciplined, you set timers on your watch, you block out your Google calendar, you make to-do lists, you use to-do apps, you hire an accountability coach.

These are all short-term fixes, and not long-term solutions. Inevitably, you fall back into your old habits, because none of them address what’s really going on.

What’s really going on: You haven’t decided what you want to be doing with your time, you have mindset blocks about your intended tasks, and/or you don’t see yourself as a person who can have your goal.

The real solution: Daily 3™ journaling, of course.

How it works: Future Self journaling helps you set real intentions and promises, rather than a vague idea of what you “should” be doing. Metacognitive journaling uncovers and releases the mindset blocks you have around the actual tasks. And Success journaling helps you step into the identity of being a person who has your goal.

What it will look like in real life: At first, one of two things will happen – you’ll either keep making wild promises to yourself and not meeting them, or you’ll make right-sized promises but then judge yourself for all the things you’re not getting done because you’re kind of only doing one thing a day.

But then! As you practice, you’ll get better and better at making promises, you’ll untangle the crap that’s standing in your way, and you’ll develop the capacity (by practicing it!) to do everything you want to do. Yes, you will Stop Wasting Time. Roll credits.
