57. Why You Don't Achieve Your Goals HINT: They Weren't Yours to Begin With

Have you ever chased a goal that looked right on paper—but somehow never lasted or left you feeling empty when you achieved it? In this episode, we explore why so many goals fail through the lens of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). We break down socially compliant goals, experiential avoidance, and the difference between the pain of presence and the pain of absence. Most importantly, we uncover the secret to sustainable change: setting goals rooted in your own values, not pressure, approval, or expectations. This episode will help you stop chasing goals that drain you—and start building a life that actually feels meaningful.Schedule a FREE therapy or coaching consultation HERE
