117: 10 Shifts for a Year That Didn’t Go as Planned

from Broads: The Bold & Badass Fitness Podcast for Women · host Tara LaFerrara

You might be ending the year thinking “this did not go how I hoped.” In this solo episode, I talk about the pressure that comes with the holiday countdown, the noise of everyone’s highlight reels, and the moment you realize your goals didn’t quite match the reality you lived. We break down why not hitting your goals doesn’t mean you failed. More often, it points to the season you were in, what you had the capacity for, and whether the structure around you actually supported the things you were trying to do. I walk you through ten shifts that help you look at your year with more honesty and less self-criticism. We talk about what truly happened this season, how to make your goals fit your actual life, and how to recognize progress that doesn’t show up in photos or personal records. You’ll also hear why perfection can’t be the expectation, why you’re not starting over, and what it looks like to train like the version of yourself you’re becoming instead of waiting for the perfect stretch of time to feel motivated. Are you feeling behind or discouraged as the year wraps up?  This episode is a real conversation to help you step into next season with more steadiness, compassion, and self-trust. Tune in. What's Discussed: (00:55) Why end-of-year pressure and goal season hit so hard (01:25) When your goals don’t match your reality and what that actually says about you (02:58) The 10 shifts that help you make progress and move forward (11:11) How support, structure, and honest guidance stop the endless “start over” cycle (12:09) The perspective you might need right now Thank You to Our Sponsors: Timeline: Get you free 3-day trial of Mitopure gummies.
