This week, I’m introducing you to a concept I call goal intoxication versus goal sobriety. If you’ve spent your entire life drunk on your future potential, setting goals and failing to achieve them, or making fancy plans and falling off the wagon immediately, I’m inviting you to try on goal sobriety because this is what will help you actually reach your goals and form the habits you truly care about.
Do you love setting goals and imagining what your life will be like when you achieve them? And then do you spend so much time living in this imagined future that you skip the part where you actually have to, you know, build the habits required to achieve that goal?
This week, I’m speaking to my friend Clara Artschwager. Clara is a dating coach who has a refreshingly different take on dating and relationships compared to the majority of what’s out there, which is exactly why I knew I had to be friends with her and have her on the podcast.
My guest on the podcast this week is author, global speaker, and professional certified life coach, Andrea Owen. She’s here to shed some light on her new book, Make Some Noise: Speak Your Mind and Own Your Strength and to dive into our shared favorite topic: unlearning the patriarchy.
Vulnerability and intimacy can feel scary, often because they’re framed in a way that means you’re giving someone else the power to hurt you. But this isn’t a particularly empowering way to understand it, so this week, I want to give you a new framework that will show you how it’s not really about other people at all.
If you have been socialized as a woman, you likely tragically underestimate what you’re capable of achieving and creating. We’ve absorbed so much about knowing our limitations and not wanting or having too much, so there’s truly nothing more fun than using the concept of impossible goals to expand your vision of what’s possible for you.
