12. [Goals Series Pt. 2] Goal Aversion And Where It Comes From
from UnLightened: A Guide to Freedom for Messy Humans · host Amanda Gold
In this episode of *Unlightened*, we're diving deep into something I've seen again and again in coaching: "goal trauma", or goal aversion. Why the heck do you hate goals so much? This is where we unpack that and look at where your resistance and pain *actually* come from—like going too big too fast, internalizing other people's judgment, chasing goals that were never even yours, or hitting the goal and still feeling empty. (Been there!) We also talk about how typical goal-setting culture and teachings have left soul, creativity, and your humanity out of the equation. If you've ever set a goal and then blamed yourself when it didn't feel good or didn't work out—this one's for you. Plus, I have some journaling prompts at the end to help you unpack your own history with goals so we can keep re-making the foundation for a new relationship with goals, and start building something that is good for you and fun, too. 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖 I'd love to hear from you!
