Every January, we set goals with the best intentions — and by February, many of them are already forgotten. In this episode, I’m revisiting Goals With Soul, a more meaningful, sustainable way to approach goal setting.
This isn’t about rigid resolutions or pressure. It’s about creating goals that come from the inside out — based on how you want to feel, who you’re becoming, and what truly matters in this season of your lif...

What happens when your focus on health quietly turns into a need for validation or proving your worth?
