Episode 38: Unstuck & Unstoppable: Overcoming Goal Overwhelm


 

Ever feel like you’re drowning in the pressure of hitting your goals by a specific deadline? In this episode, I dive into how we can shift our focus from rigid timelines to finding joy in the process of pursuing our goals—without the overwhelm!


Welcome back, friends! In this episode, I reflect on my experience with goal-setting after joining the Lift(her) women’s group coaching program led by Coach Kelly Mobeck. I talk about the pressure I put on myself to meet a goal by a specific date and how that led me to a place of overwhelm. We’ll discuss the concept of a “by-when” date, why it’s important to embrace flexibility, and how to find power in the choices we make on our journey to success. 


If you’ve ever felt stuck, fixated on a deadline, or pressured by your own expectations, this episode is for you. Let’s explore how learning, curiosity, and resilience can help us reframe our goals and take action without the stress!


Here are the highlights:

(00:09) Introduction & recap of the Lift(her) program experience

(01:30) The pressure of setting a “buy-when” date and how it backfired

(02:23) The dangers of "shoulding" on ourselves

(03:45) Reframing deadlines as guides, not punishments

(05:30) What happens when we don’t hit our goal by the intended date—and why that’s okay

(06:50) Discovering the power of choice in goal-setting 

(08:45) Focusing on the process rather than the goal date leads to growth

(09:16) Shifting your mindset to embrace learning and curiosity in your goals
