What people get wrong about goal setting

In this episode of Lessons from a Quitter, we kick off a series on goal setting with a refreshing and practical perspective. As the year winds down, many feel pressure to set goals or New Year’s resolutions, often leading to burnout or shame spirals when life inevitably gets in the way. We explore the common misconceptions about goal setting, like tying self-worth to achievements or pursuing goals we don’t truly want. Instead, I emphasize the power of intentional decision-making, accepting inconsistency, and reframing challenges as expected parts of growth. Tune in to rethink your approach and design a life aligned with your true values.
