Why Your Vision Board Isn’t Working, Here’s What to Do Instead…

If you’ve ever made a vision board, this episode is for you. And if you’ve never made one, it’s definitely for you… I’ve been making vision boards for over 12 years, and they remain one of the most powerful tools I use to ground my goals, visualise my future, and stay aligned with what I’m building. In this episode, I share how vision boards really work, why I create them every quarter, and how to use them as a creative, expansive practice rather than something stressful or rigid. I’ve helped friends, family, and founders create vision boards over the years, and I truly believe this is a tool everyone in this community can benefit from. Whether you’ve never made a vision board before or you’ve been doing them for years, this episode will give you new perspectives, practical tips, and permission to make the process more fun. If you’ve ever put something on a vision board and felt disappointed when it didn’t happen, we talk about that too. Sometimes the magic is in the scenic route. And yes, we talk about vision board bingo.I’m hosting a vision board bingo event today, so stay tuned for videos from that. If you make a vision board after listening, send it to me on Instagram. I really want to see them, especially if you do the bingo.
