Host: Sarah Lovell, Executive Function and ADHD Coach

Description: I don’t believe in “New Year, New You.” You’re already pretty great! But if you’re feeling inspired to set some goals, let’s talk about how to approach them in a way that feels sustainable and supportive—not overwhelming. Whether you’re someone who loves goal-setting or feels stressed just thinking about it, this episode is packed with practical tips to make your goals work for you—any time of year. I’ll share why I’ve moved away from traditional January goal-setting, how I’ve shifted my own self-talk around big goals, and why reflecting and adjusting your plans throughout the year makes all the difference.
