189. How to Make Goals Without Punching yourself in the Face

  • Summary

  • Do you feel like you've given up on making goals? Maybe you’re afraid to set them because checking in on them feels even worse than not making them at all. If you've ever felt stuck in a cycle of setting goals, losing motivation, and then beating yourself up over it—this episode is for you!

    Dara dives into the real reason we struggle with goal-setting and follow-through, why self-sabotage happens, and how to break the cycle. Plus, she’s sharing a powerful mindset tool that has helped countless women inside her membership finally take control of their goals without fear, shame, or overwhelm.

    🔹 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
    ✔️ Why we avoid setting goals (and how to shift that mindset)
    ✔️ The "Board Meeting" strategy to manage your inner dialogue and fears
    ✔️ How to set realistic goals that actually stick
    ✔️ A simple 4-day challenge to help you rebuild trust in yourself

    💡 Game-Changing Takeaway:
    Your brain needs direction, just like a GPS. When you set a goal, you're telling your brain where to go. But roadblocks will always pop up—it's how you respond to them that makes the difference. Learn how to work with your brain instead of against it!

    🎯 Ready to Take Action?
    Decide on one small goal for the next four days. Maybe it’s doodling for five minutes, cutting fabric for a quilt, or drinking more water. Track it, check in, and notice which "board members" (self-doubt, fear, motivation, commitment) try to take over. Awareness is the first step to real change!
