Ep 128: Setting Goals For The New Year in Private Practice

If you’re already feeling the pressure of “new year, new you” energy, you’re not alone. In this episode of The Therapist Mom Podcast, I’m offering a much gentler way to start 2026. Instead of reinvention and hustle, we’re talking about intentions, capacity, and what it looks like to set goals that actually fit your real life.I share some of the pivots I never saw coming (think: the pandemic and a surprise pregnancy) and how those seasons forced me to rethink the way I approach goals altogether. Now, instead of chasing rigid plans, I start with intentions like how I want to feel, how I want to show up. Then, I let that shape the tangible goals I want to achieve.In this episode, you’ll hear:Why traditional goal-setting often backfires for therapist momsHow intentions act as your internal compass for the yearFour categories to shape meaningful, sustainable goalsPractical prompts to help you choose what matters mostPermission to shift, adjust, or rewrite your goals as your season changesIf you're craving a year that feels aligned and doable instead of overwhelming, this conversation will meet you right where you are.
