Y’all… I think we’ve been taught to think about change completely backwards. For most of my life, change has felt like a goal-setting problem. Like if we could just plan better, try harder, stay more consistent… we’d finally become the version of ourselves we’re working toward. But here’s what I’ve learned through my research and through coaching women pursuing bold goals: Change is not a productivity problem. In this episode of Podcast Plan Goal Plan, I’m walking you through a completely different way to think about change that actually supports your goals instead of pulling you back into the same patterns over and over again. We’re talking about: Why traditional goal-setting and “change management” break down for real life The concept of liminal space and why big goals often put you right in the uncomfortable in-between Why you keep slipping back into old patterns (even when you really want change) How your **body—not just your mindset—**drives your behavior under pressure What habitus is and why willpower isn’t enough for lasting change Why high-achieving women over-function and accidentally “perform” themselves out of alignment The difference between habits vs. rituals (and why rituals are key for sustainable growth) Why creating safety first is more powerful than jumping straight into goals and plans And maybe most importantly… How to stop treating your life like something to optimize—and start building a way of pursuing your goals that actually lets you stay connected to yourself in the process. If you’re chasing something bigger right now… And you’re tired of starting strong and ending up back in the same place… This episode is going to give you a completely new framework for how change actually works. You’re not failing your goals. You’re just trying to manage something that was never meant to be managed. Let’s change that.
