Or quit a goal and felt like you failed - even though it never fit your season to begin with? That’s not a discipline issue, it’s misalignment. In today’s episode we’re diving into what misalignment is in order to help us better see and understand what true alignment looks and feels like, why it’s important to filter all of our goals through the core of who we are, and how to make it happen. So if you have found yourself caught in the trap of guilt, comparison, pressure and more… don’t worry friend, you’re not alone - we all face these challenges when setting goals each year. Listen closely - goals simply just don’t stick when they aren’t directly connected to our IDENTITY. When we start setting goals that are identity focused and NOT for us to become just like “Suzie down the street” - that’s where the magic happens. So if you’re ready to get in alignment, true alignment with the core of who you really are and the woman you’re striving to become - then grab that pen and paper, pop those ear buds in and let’s dive into the second episode in the “Simple Goals That Actually Work for Moms” Series. P.S.
