Why I Stopped Setting Goals (and What I Do Instead)

In this solo episode, Melissa dives deep into why she hates the word "goals" — and why it may be keeping you stuck in frustration, overwhelm, and striving for something that always feels just out of reach. She unpacks the concept from The Gap and the Gain and explains how measuring your life against an idealized future actually robs you of your peace and progress. Instead, Melissa invites you to replace "goals" with intentions — a shift that anchors you in identity, alignment, and flow instead of force and pressure. You'll learn how to recognize when you're in "the gap," how to return to gratitude and growth, and how to set intentions that come from who you truly are rather than who you think you "should" be. If you're tired of chasing the next thing and ready to live from intention, identity, and peace — this episode will speak to your soul.
