Blog & podcast goals for 2025

I think this is the last of my goal related blog posts and podcasts for now! I know not everyone enjoys discussing goals and aims, it can feel like a stressful time of year with a constant narrative of self-improvement. I love goal setting, but I’m also bad for using previous goals as a stick with which to beat myself, if I don’t manage to achieve everything I set out to accomplish at the start of the year. These goals are more like gentle guidelines, to help keep me focused and on track. I’m easily distracted by what I perceive to be other people’s versions of success, thinking if I emulate their content, I’ll gain the same as them. It’s easy to forget, especially on social media, that what you perceive as overnight success, might actually have been the result of many years of hard work and consistency. If you listened to the end, dear friend, I would love some feedback from you. If you subscribe to a Patreon, Substack, or similar membership platform for a content creator, what encouraged you to do so? What do those creators offer you that tempted you to pay for their content?Equally, if you don’t pay for any subscriptions, what are the barriers preventing you?Thank you for your thoughts and feedback! You can pop them in a comment, or send me a DM. I very much appreciate all your observations, positive or otherwise! This is a public episode.
