I’m politely begging you to make goals

Have you given up on goals because they feel overwhelming, restrictive, or exhausting? 😮‍💨
Do you prefer intentions, a word of the year, or just “going with the flow”?

In this video, I’m sharing why I still believe in goals—and how setting them the right way has completely changed my daily life. I’m not talking about rigid, all-or-nothing goals that suck the joy out of life. I’m talking about gentle, realistic goals that create momentum, confidence, and real change without guilt or burnout.

Over the past few years, monthly goal-setting has helped me:

Build habits I always wanted but never stuck with

Stop putting off things that truly matter

Feel more confident, hopeful, and optimistic

Gain clarity around my values and priorities

Add more fun, growth, and spontaneity to my life

In this video, we talk about:
✨ Why goals don’t have to be painful or suffocating
✨ How gentle goals differ from traditional goal-setting
✨ Why goals increase joy, motivation, and momentum
✨ How goals improve self-confidence and self-discipline
✨ Why goals help you live out your values—not just think about them

If you’ve stopped setting goals because you’re afraid to fail, feel exhausted, or think they’re “too much,” this video is for you. 💛
Maybe goals aren’t the problem—maybe the way we’ve been taught to use them is.
