A Better Way to Set Goals for 2026 | Mindset, Habits & Purpose

If you’re already tired of New Year’s resolutions—or you know they won’t last past February—this episode is for you. As we close out 2025, I’m inviting you into a different way of starting the year. Not with pressure. Not with hustle. And not with resolutions that fade. Instead, I’m sharing a simple, grounded blueprint for designing 2026 intentionally—from the inside out. In this episode, I reflect on the mindset shifts and practices that made this my most aligned year yet, inspired by teachings from Hal Elrod (The Miracle Morning), Gay Hendricks (The Big Leap), Ryan Holiday (The Obstacle Is the Way), and the optimism-forward philosophy of Mike Drinkhahn. We’ll talk about: Why New Year’s resolutions often fail—and what actually creates lasting change How identity-based habits shape your future more than goals alone The power of a morning routine that builds clarity, not overwhelm How to break through upper limits and step into your Zone of Genius Why obstacles aren’t setbacks, but the path forward How to design a year with intention, confidence, and emotional alignment This isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about becoming the version of you who can hold the life you want. If you’re searching for: new year reset, how to plan your year, intentional living, mindset for success, goal setting without burnout, morning routines for success, or personal growth for 2026—you’re in the right place. This is your invitation to begin differently. Anchored. Clear. Purposeful. And fully aligned with who you’re becoming. ✨ If this resonates, subscribe for weekly conversations on growth, mindset, and living with intention.
