Beyond Goals: Listening to What You Need

As I kick off Season 11 of the Liz Career Coaching Podcast, I’m inviting you to slow down and pause before rushing into new goals, plans, or decisions.A new year often brings pressure to do more, achieve more, and figure everything out quickly. In this episode, I share why I believe clarity doesn’t come from pushing harder it comes from self-reflection and intentional pauses. I talk about how journaling helps me recognize when my goals start to feel fuzzy or when I’m chasing things without really understanding why.I also share a personal and vulnerable story about stepping outside my comfort zone. It reminded me what it feels like to be a beginner again, to face fear and ego, and to choose growth anyway.This episode is a gentle reminder to give yourself permission to try, even when you don’t feel ready. Episode HighlightsWhy I believe pausing and self-reflection are just as important as goal-settingThe discomfort of being a beginner and why it’s actually a good thingHow fear and ego can quietly keep us stuckWhy confidence comes after action, not beforeA reminder to give yourself permission to try...big or smallConnect with me:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lizcareercoaching/Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/lizcareercoaching/Website: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lizcareercoaching/Email: [email protected] Best Career Coach Podcasts100 Best Coaching PodcastsMusic: https://www.purple-planet.comSound from Zapsplat.comArtwork: Joseph Valenzuela DesignSupport the show
