I mean, that's the dream, right? Every day, you want to be making step-by-step, clear progress directly from where you are now all the way to your big goals. Yeah, me too.But there's a reason that's not happening, and it's not because "progress isn't linear" the way everybody tries to tell you.In this make-sure-you're-taking notes episode, I'm laying it all out -- why your progress is coming in fits and starts, what you're unintentionally doing that's making it worse, and the actionable steps you can take right now and every day to finally get where you want to go.Ready to Get Your Goal?

Not to be dramatic, but… yeah, this podcast could change your entire goal-getting journey from non-stop struggle into the kind of just-right challenge that feels amazing.There’s something you’re doing right now (and I’ll tell you what it is during the episode, I promise) that’s making every part of getting your goal harder than it needs to be. It’s the reason choosing your goal feels hard. It’s the reason imagining yourself succeeding feels hard. It’s the reason collecting data and keeping records feels hard. It’s the reason (this one’s the worst) you get all the way to your goal, but then hanging onto it feels so hard that you let it go.My friend, when everything feels hard, THIS is why.Ready to Get Your Goal?

You’re trying to get all your tasks done, every day, so you can get to your goal. You know you’ll have to work hard and make sacrifices, and do without, and push yourself. And, you’re mostly willing to do that, but also, sometimes it just feels SO hard. Is this really what it takes to get your goals?The short answer is no. And also...Let’s talk about taking a familiar mindset shift – from “I have to” into “I want to” – another layer deeper. Because, yes, sometimes you give lip service to this concept and tell yourself, “I’m choosing to…” while not actually feeling that you have a choice.In this nuanced conversation, we’re taking your mindset work to a higher level, where you can truly feel the agency you have over getting your goals.Ready to Get Your Goal?

You’re doing everything, but not seeing the results you want, and you feel like you’re just not making progress on your big goals. Most coaches (including me, back in the day) will tell you to do more of what you’re already doing, or to move on to a different strategy. But what you really need to look at are these six essential goal-getting areas.This isn’t a typical “tips and tricks” episode, it’s a deep dive into the nuances of what it really takes to rewire your brain and finally get that goal you’ve been dreaming about for years.No more wasting time chasing down a shiny new strategy or languishing in feeling like a failure – this episode will show you six places to take an honest, loving look at your journey so you can move forward with calm confidence and get your goal.LINKS MENTIONED:Watch and subscribe to the Get Your Goal Journaling & Coaching YouTube channel – https://www.youtube.com/@GetYourGoalJournalingCoachingLearn more about Daily 3™ journaling with the FREE Masterclass – https://getyourgoal.com/podcastmc/Ready to Get Your Goal?

I know you’re struggling with this idea of being a goal-getting woman in the world today, and I know this is a question that’s on your mind, so let’s talk about it.The short answer is that no, it’s not a bad time to get your goal.But taking that in intellectually is different than feeling it to be true, and the point of today’s podcast is to start you on the road to bone-deep knowing that getting your goal is the choice that’s best for you and (not to be dramatic, but here we go…) the whole world.How do you do that?

If you’re listening for it, you’ll hear an awkward edit right in the middle of the most emotionally compelling part of this podcast, and it’s because I had to cut out the part where I choked on my own saliva. 🤣🤦‍♀️🙄If you don’t notice it, all the better, because this episode is a good one.We’re talking about mindset blocks today – how you know you’ve got them (you do), how ambitious overthinkers like you and I try to outsmart them (it doesn’t work), and what to do that actually dissolves them (feel your feelings).If you’re ready to stop saying things like, “It’s hard for me to get my goal” and see yourself, hear yourself, understand yourself, and trust yourself all the way to your goal… this episode is for you. 😘Ready to Get Your Goal?

Let’s start with this: your goal isn’t too big. But, nice as that is to hear, I know you won’t really believe it until you listen to the whole podcast, where I explain exactly what’s going on behind the scenes in your brain, why taking the “reasonable” route is weirdly harder than just going for your big goals, and how to actually feel solid, grounded and full of possibility, no matter what you want.Questioning your goals is something that every overthinker is familiar with, and faced with all that indecision and self-doubt, lots of us give up before we really even get going. So inside this episode, I’m sharing two actionable items you can do TODAY to start moving forward with confidence.Ready to Get Your Goal?

These are the notes I wrote before recording this podcast today. I am a LOT more concise in writing than I am when I’m speaking. 🤣Either way, this is good info if you want to know how to stop wasting time, but just so you know… in the podcast, I tell funny stories, too!How To Stop Wasting TimeThe problem: you have a Big Goal, and you know what you need to be doing to get it, but every day you find yourself not doing what it takes. You’re wasting time on menial tasks that you don’t even care about, or you’re playing games on your phone for hours when you meant to be doing other things.The solution you’ve been trying that doesn’t work: You’re buying planners and calendars, you watch videos about productivity, you buy courses to teach you about time blocking, you vow to be more disciplined, you set timers on your watch, you block out your Google calendar, you make to-do lists, you use to-do apps, you hire an accountability coach.These are all short-term fixes, and not long-term solutions. Inevitably, you fall back into your old habits, because none of them address what’s really going on.What’s really going on: You haven’t decided what you want to be doing with your time, you have mindset blocks about your intended tasks, and/or you don’t see yourself as a person who can have your goal.The real solution: Daily 3™ journaling, of course.How it works: Future Self journaling helps you set real intentions and promises, rather than a vague idea of what you “should” be doing. Metacognitive journaling uncovers and releases the mindset blocks you have around the actual tasks. And Success journaling helps you step into the identity of being a person who has your goal.What it will look like in real life: At first, one of two things will happen – you’ll either keep making wild promises to yourself and not meeting them, or you’ll make right-sized promises but then judge yourself for all the things you’re not getting done because you’re kind of only doing one thing a day.But then! As you practice, you’ll get better and better at making promises, you’ll untangle the crap that’s standing in your way, and you’ll develop the capacity (by practicing it!) to do everything you want to do. Yes, you will Stop Wasting Time. Roll credits.Ready to Get Your Goal?

“The thing that sets you up for success in your day is not just using your brain, but paying attention to your body, paying attention to your feelings.”Question: do you have a daily routine that’s taking you directly to your goal? I didn’t used to. In fact, my old routine used to set me up for a day of disappointment instead of success. And I don’t know about you, but I prefer success. So I changed my morning routine, and now I start my day knowing that I’ll get everything done that I ask myself to do.In this episode, I’m sharing what I do every morning, how I do it, and (the most important part) how I know it’s working.This conversation isn’t about productivity for the sake of productivity. It’s about creating self trust and showing up in the world the way you truly want to, instead of making yourself do the things you think you have to.My daily routine is softer, kinder, and not coincidentally, I’m more productive now than I was all those years I was trying to get everything done. If you’re looking for less hustle and more success, this episode is for you.Ready to Get Your Goal?

Okay, obviously I’m overdramatic, but before I actually wrote a book, I was legit worried that I would 💀 without writing a book (and I’ve wanted to be an author since I was seven years old).I thought I was running out of time. I thought maybe I was too old, that the time to write a book had already passed me by, and by the way, omg, it was going to take a lot of time to write a book, and I already had too much to do in my day, every day.Past Pahla had a lot of time scarcity thoughts!But now that I’ve (mostly) worked through them and come to understand exactly what time scarcity is, how it’s showing up in your life right now as we speak, and what to do about it… well, that’s why I recorded this podcast.My friend, you have time to get your goal.And yes, journaling will help you. Listen to this episode for the practical steps of reducing time scarcity in your life, watch the Daily 3 journaling Masterclass to learn how to rewire your brain for success (total time commitment between both of these activities is around 40 minutes if you watch and listen on 1.25x speed), and then let’s get your goal.Oooh, P.S.

True story: For months now, I’ve been letting AI write my podcast show notes, because I’ve been telling myself that I’m not great at writing them and a robot is better at search-engine optimization than I am.And then when that still felt a little icky, I would remind myself that hardly anybody really reads them anyway, and it’s a lot faster than doing it myself.But that didn’t feel especially good, either, and today - literally in the middle of recording this podcast for you - I figured out why.I’ve been thinking about show notes from the perspective of how I’m “supposed to” write them, and what “everybody” says is the best way to do it, and whether or not the algorithm (yep, more robots!) will favor this episode.You know what, though? F that.MY show notes are a place where I can talk to you, directly, and let you know that this episode - in fact, this whole podcast, every episode - is for you.And friend, it is.This is the episode where we examine the all-or-nothing thinking that pervades the advice of mindset and productivity coaches who want to tell you that perfectionism is always wrong.It’s not.And I’m not taking the stand that it’s always right, either. There’s a nuance. Perfectionism *can* serve you, and inside this episode we’ll talk about when that is, how to tell the difference between “good” and “bad” perfectionism, and I have a couple of self-awareness questions you can use for yourself.When you’re ready to explore, you know I’m here for it.

We've all been there -- you ask yourself to do something and then… don’t. And disappointment just feels inevitable. But what if that feeling isn’t actually your fate? In today’s episode, I’m sharing the surprisingly simple shift that dissolves disappointment and restores your self-trust.You know that moment when you look back at your day and think, “Why didn’t I do the thing I told myself I was going to do?” Well, in this episode, we’re taking a compassionate look at what’s really going on when life “life-s” at you and suddenly, the task you meant to do just isn’t happening anymore.Because here’s the twist: disappointment doesn’t come from the undone thing. It comes from the belief that once you’ve made a decision, you’re obligated to stick with it — no matter what new information arises. Today, I’m walking you through the simple mindset shift that lets you make empowered in-the-moment choices instead of silently judging yourself for not being a machine.If you’ve ever wondered how to stay aligned with your big goal even when your day takes a hard left turn, this episode is for you.Ready to Get Your Goal?

So many of us think the question “What do I want?” should feel simple… but the moment you try to answer it, something unexpected happens. Your imagination narrows, your possibilities shrink, and suddenly the future feels farther away than ever. Today, I’m pulling back the curtain on why that happens — and what it really means for getting your goal.In this "advanced concept" episode, you’ll learn the surprising way your brain predicts your future, how it quietly redirects you back to your comfort zone, and why even the most ambitious goals can start to feel heavy or impossible.And here’s the best part: once you understand what's going on, you can work with it instead of getting derailed by it. If you’ve ever wondered why your journaling feels flat, why your vision won’t “light up,” or why imagining your future self sometimes feels worse instead of better, this episode will shift everything for you.Ready to Get Your Goal?

 If you’ve ever opened your journal and thought, “Okay… but what do I even write?” you’re going to love this episode. I’m sharing six of my favorite journaling prompts — the ones I use all the time to get out of my head, untangle my thoughts, and keep moving toward my goals.You don’t need a “perfect” journaling routine to change your life, you just need some good questions. In this episode, I’m taking you inside my Daily 3™ journaling practice and sharing the prompts that I come back to whenever I’m feeling stuck, spinning in overthinking, or needing a little clarity about what to do next.We’ll talk about how I use Future Self Journaling to stay connected to what I want, Metacognitive Journaling to gently unravel the stories holding me back, and Success Journaling to remind myself that, yes, I am making progress. I’ll even walk you through some real-life examples (including one where I was fuming in my car!) so you can see how these prompts actually work in the real world.By the end, you’ll have six simple, powerful questions you can start using right away. Whether you’re brand new to journaling or ready to deepen your Daily 3™ practice, this episode will leave you feeling clear, curious, and totally capable of getting your goal.Ready to Get Your Goal?

You know the drill: pick a specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound goal. Determine your plan, and then follow through until you get it. No pain, no gain. Go big or go home. It’s all about self-discipline and willpower, everybody knows this. And that’s why, today, I’m going to share a few things that nobody tells you about getting your goal.Most goal-getting advice sounds loud and is full of hustle, grit, and pushing through. But what if your most powerful progress comes from curiosity, compassion, and allowing things to unfold in their own time? In this gentle, thought-provoking episode, I’m offering a new way to think about your goals — one that honors both your determination and your softness.You’ll hear how understanding your failures, fears, and feelings can create resilience that will outlast any motivational high. We’ll talk about why “pushing through” can backfire, how curiosity leads to lasting change, and what it really means when I say you have time.Ready to Get Your Goal?

You know that feeling, when you’re probably right on the edge of a huge breakthrough… but also maybe you’re just about to give up because everything feels hard? Yeah. There’s an excellent chance that what you’re really ready for is a level up. But how do you know? Well, here are three signs that you’re ready to level up and actually get your goal.If you’ve been wobbling between “I’m doing everything right” and “Why does this still feel so hard?”, you’re in the perfect place for a level up. In this episode, I’m breaking down the three distinct stages of every goal — the messy “spaghetti phase,” the mostly consistent middle, and the expert mode that feels like effortless alignment — so you can recognize exactly where you are and what comes next.We’ll talk about how frustration can actually be a sign of progress, what it really means to find consistency with yourself (not your schedule), and how to tell the difference between urgency and genuine motivation. I’ll show you why the Daily 3™ journaling framework is your built-in bridge between these stages, helping you focus your mind, feel your feelings, and take aligned action toward your goal.Are you ready to level up? Here's your sign.Ready to Get Your Goal?

You know the path to your goal isn't going to be all puppies and rainbows, but does it have to be so... hard? In this episode, we're unpacking the common lament of "I just want it to be easier," and I'm showing you how to find genuine ease without waiting for life to change first.I’m taking you behind the scenes of my own journaling and coaching process, where that exact sentence once brought me to tears… and then to a breakthrough. Together, we’ll explore why “easy” isn’t about changing your circumstances, it’s about hearing yourself clearly enough to shift what you’re thinking and feeling.If things have been feeling heavy, complicated, or just plain hard lately, this conversation will help you soften that pressure and find a way forward.Ready to Get Your Goal?

It's the question everybody wants to know the answer to:  How long will it take to get your goal? Well, in this episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, I'm sharing the truth about timelines, my “three-year rule,” and why your journey matters just as much as the result.Of course you want to know when you’ll finally cross that finish line, or hold the book in your hands, or build that business you’ve been dreaming about. But what if the timeline isn’t the most important part of your story? In this episode, I’m opening up a different way of looking at how long it will take to get there -- one that frees you from false urgency and invites you to see your progress with fresh eyes.If you’ve ever felt like you’re behind, like everyone else is moving faster, or like your goal is taking too long, this conversation will help you shift your perspective and trust your own unique timing.Ready to Get Your Goal?

Do you ever feel stuck in indecision, or beat yourself up for making the “wrong” choice? In this episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, we’re talking about how to make better decisions, without the endless overthinking or doubting yourself, so you can finally move forward.If you’ve ever called yourself “indecisive,” spent hours on pros and cons lists, or told yourself you’re just bad at making choices...friend, you are not alone. Ambitious women like us often get tangled in our busy brains, trying to find the “right” answer before we let ourselves take action. And then, even when we do make a decision, we end up questioning ourselves afterwards.Here’s the good news: decision-making isn’t about getting it perfect. It’s not even about being certain of the outcome. It’s about choosing your course of action in a way that feels aligned, and where your thoughts and feelings are actually on the same team. In this episode, I’m sharing the exact mindset shifts and practical tips that helped me stop dithering, start listening to my inner “hell yes,” and feel good about the decisions I make.By the end of this episode, you’ll see that there’s no such thing as a universally “good” decision, there are only the decisions that are right for YOU.Ready to Get Your Goal?

You’ve heard the inspirational quote: “You don’t have any limitations.” But the truth is… you do. In this episode, I’ll show you how to find what’s really holding you back (and how to work through it), so you can finally move toward your big goal with clarity, confidence, and ease. On the way to your goal, there are real-world limits — time, physics, biology, even the occasional tech glitch. But most of the roadblocks that feel immovable aren’t actually external at all. They’re inside your imagination, your thoughts, and your feelings. And when you can recognize that, suddenly the path forward looks very different.In this episode, I’m diving deep into what I call your true limitations and how the Daily 3™ Journaling Framework helps you work through them instead of constantly butting up against them. You’ll discover why practicing your imagination is essential, how metacognitive journaling reveals the stories that keep you stuck, and why your willingness to feel uncomfortable emotions is the ultimate game-changer.This is a powerful reframe for ambitious, overthinking women with big goals (yes, I'm talking to, and about, YOU).Ready to Get Your Goal?

If your to-do list feels endless and your self-trust is running on empty, this episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast is for you. We're chatting about a kinder, more effective way to get things done — without willpower, self-judgment, or burnout.We’ve all been there: staring at a massive to-do list, already knowing we won’t finish it, and then beating ourselves up for not doing enough. That cycle of overpromising and underdelivering erodes self-trust and makes our big goals feel further away than ever.In this episode, I’m sharing how I broke free from that pattern and started building momentum toward my goals without productivity "hacks" or self-discipline, but with a simple journaling framework that changed everything. (Hint: it's the Daily 3™) You’ll hear why traditional to-do lists set you up for failure, what it really means to keep promises to yourself, and how a subtle shift in perspective can unlock your motivation.If you’ve been frustrated by unfinished lists, constant second-guessing, or that nagging sense that you’re never doing enough, this conversation will feel like a breath of fresh air. Listen now to see yourself differently, so you can finally trust yourself to get things done.Ready to Get Your Goal?

What happens when you realize the life you’ve built isn’t actually the one you want? In this episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, I’m sharing the story of my wake up call, what I did when everything shifted, and how it can help you. Sometimes it's a quiet nudge, but for me it was a gut punch - a bolt of clarity that made me stop and say, something has to change. My wake up call came in the most ordinary place, but it changed the way I see myself, my business, and my goals.In this raw and honest episode, I’m inviting you into that turning point. You’ll hear about the frustration I kept brushing aside, the breakdown that cracked me open, and the surprising moment when everything finally clicked into place.If you’ve been circling your goals, wondering why you feel stuck or unsatisfied even when things look “fine” on the outside, this story is for you.Ready to Get Your Goal?

When other people question your decisions, it’s easy to spiral into self-doubt. But what if their reaction isn’t really about you? In this episode, we’ll explore why second-guessing yourself keeps you stuck, and how to start trusting your own decisions, even if you get questioned about them. You know what it's like: you've just announced your decision, and someone raises an eyebrow, asks a “just curious” question, or offers a different opinion, and suddenly, you’re not just thinking about the choice itself, you’re thinking about what they must think of you. Cue the mental gymnastics, the self-judgment, and maybe even a change of plans you didn’t actually want to make.In this episode, I’m sharing the story of an overheard conversation that completely lit up my own awareness about decisions, self-concept, and what we truly control. We’ll talk about why there’s really no such thing as a “bad” decision, why other people’s objections are (probably) never about you, and how to separate their questions from your own intentions. If you’re ready to feel confident about the decisions you make, this conversation is for you.Ready to Get Your Goal?

You're tired of being so hard on yourself, but how do you stop? In this episode, we’ll explore why that inner critic is so persistent, and how to shift it gently with a simple, science-backed journaling practice that takes just five minutes a day.You say it practically every day: “I just need to stop being so hard on myself.” And while that sounds like a noble goal, it’s not exactly actionable, is it? Which means you stay stuck in the same spiral of overthinking, perfectionism, and self-criticism.In this compassionate and practical episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what that phrase really means, and why your brain defaults to beating you up in the first place. You’ll hear personal examples (including a very real podcasting moment) and get a clear breakdown of how to rewire your brain away from the habit of self-criticism, by using my five-minute journaling method, the Daily 3™. I’ll show you why trying to stop doing something isn’t effective—and how focusing on what you do want instead can change everything.If you’re ready to move from “I know I’m being too hard on myself” to actually treating yourself with kindness and self-trust, this episode is for you.Ready to Get Your Goal?

You’re smart, you’re ambitious, and you already know a lot — so why does it still feel like you don’t know how to get your goal?  This episode breaks down exactly what’s happening when you get stuck in "I don't know how," and what to do next in order to get moving again. There’s a moment on the way to your goal (and maybe you're in it right now) when your brain starts spinning a very convincing story: I don’t know how. It sounds reasonable. Responsible, even. Like the right next step is to get more information.But what if that’s not actually true?In this episode, I’m sharing what I’ve noticed in myself and the women I work with,  about how the search for knowledge is silently masking self-doubt, stalled momentum, and that stuck feeling you can’t quite shake. We’ll talk about the difference between useful info and endless input, and why implementing what you already do know feels so weird, awkward, and hard (but doesn’t have to stay that way).You're ready to get your goal, love.

What if the real transformation isn’t the goal itself — but who you become after you get it? In this tender episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, we're exploring what you really want, and how to build the self-concept that will carry you into your next chapter. If you’ve ever wondered what comes next — this is for you.When you think about your goal — whether it’s a finish line, a number on the scale, a business milestone, or a published book — it’s easy to imagine that getting it will be the end of the story. But here's the truth: the goal isn’t the end. It’s merely the beginning of a whole new version of you.In this episode, I’m inviting you to ask a surprisingly powerful question: What are you going to do after you finish getting your goal? Not as an obligation, not as pressure, but as a gateway to understanding the self-concept you're growing into. We're chatting about the difference between chasing an outcome and changing your self-concept, how the Daily 3™ journaling framework can help you shift your identity, and why routines that used to work might not anymore.This isn’t about willpower or discipline — it’s about self-trust. And it’s about letting your goals guide you into the most you version of you.Ready to Get Your Goal?

If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Why can’t I just finish what I start?” when it comes to your goals... well, this one’s for you, my friend. Inside this episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, I'm sharing the real reason behind "goal-hopping," what to do about it, and how to finally get your goal. We all do it -- dream up a shiny new goal when the one you really want is so close you can taste it. And now I'm sharing what’s really happening in your brain when you bounce from goal to goal, and why it’s not the big mistake you might think it is.Listen in on my own story of starting to run before I finished losing weight, so you can see how your outdated self-concepts and mindset blocks show up the moment you’re about to become the next version of you.If you're ready to lay down the judgment, tune in to your own wisdom, and get alllllll the way to your goal this time - let's go!Ready to Get Your Goal?

You’ve heard it before: “Rewire your brain to change your life.” But what does that actually mean? In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what it really takes to rewire your brain — and why it’s not just about affirmations, mantras, or passive self-help.If you’ve ever told yourself, “I’m working on my mindset, so why isn’t this goal happening yet?” — this episode is for you. We’re going beyond the feel-good phrases and straight into the truth: real brain rewiring doesn’t happen while you’re asleep listening to subliminals — it happens when you decide to show up for yourself, on purpose, again and again.Inside, I’m sharing why the Daily 3™ journaling practice works the way it does, and how tiny daily decisions are what actually shift your self-concept and open the door to the version of you who has what you want. We're chatting about why “trying” keeps you stuck, the uncomfortable truth about making choices, and how to take back your agency in small, sustainable ways.So, if you’re done waiting for a magical overnight transformation, and you’re ready to rewire your brain the real way — let's go.Ready to Get Your Goal?

Some goals come easy — and others feel like a never-ending uphill climb. And even when you know what to do, there’s something about this goal that just… won’t budge. Why is that?In this episode, we’re going beneath the surface of goal-getting and diving into the real, behind-the-scenes reason why certain goals feel so sticky and elusive — and how your self-concept, identity, and emotional resonance play a bigger role than strategy ever could. If you’ve been showing up, doing the work, and still not getting the results you want, this conversation will give you clarity, direction, and a practical journaling framework that actually works.You’ll hear:Why strategy isn’t enough (and what actually is)How your self-concept shapes your resultsWhat the Daily 3™ journaling practice does that nothing else canAnd the difference between “trying to change” and becoming who you want to beWhether your goal is to write a book, run a race, lose weight, grow your business, or simply trust yourself more deeply — this conversation is your gentle but honest invitation to shift.Ready to Get Your Goal?

This one's for you, the woman who’s always wanted more — more from life, more from herself — but learned somewhere along the way to sit down, stay quiet, and be less. In this tender and personal episode, I’m exploring what it really means to be ambitious, and how we can rewrite the stories that taught us to be small.Have you ever pondered what it means to want more? And what happens when you spend your life trying to pretend you don’t?Today, I’m reflecting on the complicated relationship many of us have with ambition — especially as women raised to be accommodating, humble, and anything but "selfish." Together, we’ll explore the pain of feeling different, the loneliness of dreaming big, and the quiet, persistent truth that we’ve always wanted more… and that’s never been a problem.If you've ever felt like too much and not enough at the same time, this is for you.Ready to Get Your Goal?

Overthinking can look like perfectionism, procrastination, or just endlessly spinning your wheels, and it’s exhausting. In today's episode, I’m sharing how I finally stopped overthinking and started following through on my goals. If you’ve been stuck in your head and you're ready for real momentum, this one’s for you.For most of my life, I was ruled by my overthinking and stuck in never-ending loops of wanting to get things just right, taking forever to get anything done, and then judging and ridiculing myself afterward. In this episode, I’m sharing exactly how overthinking was showing up in my life (even when it looked like “being productive”), and how I gently got myself out of that loop.The tool that helped me follow through — without pushing, forcing, or pretending to be someone I’m not — is the Daily 3, my 5-minute journaling framework that's designed for ambitious overthinkers like you and me. If you’re craving clarity and follow-through without all the mental gymnastics, you’ll hear yourself in this episode - let's go.Ready to Get Your Goal?

Tired of chasing strategies that seem to work for everyone but you? In this episode, I’m sharing how to tell whether a strategy will actually work for you — and why self-awareness is the most underrated tool in your goal-getting toolkit.Whether your goal is losing weight, writing a book, running a race, or building a business, this conversation will help you trust your process.You’ve already tried the plans, followed the formulas, and downloaded the freebies… but somehow, none of them stick. Today, I’m pulling back the curtain on why that is and how to finally stop following advice that doesn’t fit. From weight loss to business building, you can find strategy advice everywhere, but the missing piece is you. Your mindset. Your wiring. Your self-awareness.Inside this episode, I'm offering two vital questions to ask yourself when you're choosing what's right for you.We’re talking about the difference between strategies that apply to your unique situation and ones that just appeal to you (but won’t work in practice). And I’m also sharing the real reason I’ve pivoted my business — and what journaling, mindset, and emotional resonance have to do with achieving literally any goal. If you’re ready to stop forcing strategies that don’t feel right, this episode will show you how to come home to what does.Ready to Get Your Goal?

Today's mood: reflective. And rambling. Just the way we've always liked it around here. Welcome back to the Get Your GOAL podcast, friend.What if none of it was a mistake? In this deeply personal episode, I’m sharing where I’ve been, what I’ve learned, and why I’m finally done judging myself for the journey. If you’ve ever wondered whether your “wrong turns” were actually the path… this one’s for you.After nearly a year away from the mic, I'm back - not with a clickbait hook, or a strategic plan, but with a much better understanding of who I am, and what I want to share (hint: it's not super polished and professional, but it does feel like me).This episode is for all of my fellow ambitious overthinkers in the messy middle of getting a Big Goal: my story, of overscripting and overstrategizing myself into silence... and finding my way back to my true voice.P.S.

It’s near the end of November, and you know what that means: days are shorter, nights are longer, and there’s extra food everywhere you turn. Historically, you’ve put on anywhere from five to fifteen pounds in the final six weeks of the year, and you really want to change that. But how can you make it through the holidays without gaining weight? That’s exactly what we’re diving into on today’s podcast.Rather than white-knuckling your way through the holidays this year, let’s explore some of the unhelpful thoughts you probably have, that have created weight gain in years past, and start shifting into helpful thoughts that will change everything.Because this is the real crux of how to make it through the holidays without gaining weight: you make one mindset shift at a time. They all add up, and before you know it, holidays don’t feel hard. Losing weight doesn’t feel hard. Changing your habits, changing your mind, and changing your life – none of them feel hard when you give yourself a little shift.Ready to Get Your Goal?

You, as a human being, are never actually stuck. But your brain sure wants you to think you are, doesn’t it? I mean, your weight is absolutely, positively, 100% not moving. You’re stuck! And it sucks. That’s why today’s podcast is all about getting you unstuck so you can start losing weight again.It literally does not matter what goal you’re aiming for, or how many other goals you’ve achieved in your life, the path to your current goal is and will always be littered with stuckness. It’s part of the journey. It’s expected. It’s inevitable.And as an ambitious, overthinking menopausal woman who has achieved a lot of pretty spectacular goals in my life (and I’m currently on my way to another really big one), I have felt that stuckness. It sucks, I will sympathize with you on that.But also, because I’m your friendly neighborhood life coach, I won’t let either one of us wallow in how much it sucks, because here’s the thing: You can always get unstuck. Always.And in this episode, I’ll show you exactly how.Ready to Get Your Goal?

What if you could stop wasting time staring at your blank journal page, and just know exactly what to ask yourself? (Oh yeah, and bonus… what if those questions would help you LOSE WEIGHT, too?) My friend, not only do I have the solution here on today’s podcast, but I’ve also got a brand new free resource for you with the four most effective journaling prompts for faster weight loss.Download my free guide, “The Four Most Effective Journaling Prompts for Faster Weight Loss” here: https://getyourgoal.com/mosteffective/No matter what you’re doing in life, you will be better served by working with biology instead of against it. And here’s the thing to know about biology: we humans are always always always seeking pleasure and avoiding pain.So these journaling prompts are effective because they shine a light on what’s pleasurable for you and make it very clear where you’re trying to force yourself to do something… well, not necessarily physically painful, but emotionally unpleasant or uncomfortable, like denying yourself your favorite foods or making yourself exercise in ways you don’t enjoy.And the prompts will help you lose weight faster because simplicity plus systems equals speed. Once again, we’re working with biology here. Your brain loves to categorize information, and it’s literally hard-wired to enjoy repetition.So, these four journaling prompts? They’re like a win-win-win-win situation, as far as biology is concerned.Thanks for listening! 💞Ready to Get Your Goal?

You want to lose weight, and you’re willing to do whatever it takes. You’re pretty sure that you’re going to have to give up a few things, and you’re absolutely right about that. But it might not be the things you expect.  On today’s episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, I’m sharing five surprising things I gave up when I lost weight for the last time in my 50s.Isn’t it funny how we always think that giving something up is a bad thing? Like, when you saw the title of this podcast, you probably thought something like, “Oh, Pahla’s gonna tell me that she had to give up her favorite food, or that she gave up drinking wine.”Or we associate giving up with quitting or backing down from a standard we think is unachievable. Again, in a bad way. Like maybe you think I’m going to tell you that I gave up on trying to get back down to the weight I was in high school, or I gave up trying to fit into my wedding dress again.When it comes to weight loss, we really think that giving something up always means choosing what’s right instead of what’s fun, or doing what we have to do instead of what we want to do.If we want to lose weight we have to buckle down, put the lid on, get serious, stay focused, restrict ourselves, stay away from temptation, eat perfectly, drink perfectly, sleep perfectly, exercise perfectly, and don’t forget to manage your mind perfectly, too, right?My friend, the answer is no on all accounts.So, what did I give up to lose weight in my 50s?I gave up feeling sorry for myself.I gave up blaming other people.I gave up criticizing my body.I gave up thinking I couldn’t figure it out.I gave up losing weight ever again.And I whole-heartedly encourage YOU to give these things up, too – while still enjoying your favorite foods, living your best life, and pursuing the goal that makes your heart sing.Ready to Get Your Goal?

A first-hand account of exactly what it’s like to love your body.The truth is, your body is a walking, talking, thinking, blinking miracle.

Instead of handing you some sugar-coated platitudes about how you’re doing amazing, sweetie, I’ve got the straight skinny on where you need to get to work. My friend, I know that you can change.

I know there are plenty of things you’re looking forward to doing when you finish losing weight, but have you ever thought about what you’ll stop doing? Ever since I lost weight for the last time in my 50s, I’ve noticed these three surprising things that I just don’t do anymore. And today, I’m sharing them with you.Let’s paint a picture of what life looks like when you’re not just done losing weight, but really, truly, and absolutely finished. These three things I’m sharing with you today didn’t just magically disappear from my life the day I hit my goal weight. In fact, they took a full ‘nuther year or two or three after I’d lost the weight before I finished untangling my mindset.So, each one of these three things that I stopped doing when I lost weight for the last time represents the mindset work, the untangling of old thoughts, beliefs, and neural pathways, that I did while I was losing weight and in the years since then.Are you ready to see what’s waiting for you on the other side of losing weight?

Controlling your eating is pretty easy for you, isn’t it? But once or twice a week, you find yourself raiding the pantry, eating from boredom or stress. You know that if you could get control of your eating, you know you’d lose weight, but you just don’t seem to have the willpower. Well, I have good news, because on today’s episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, I’m sharing exactly how to control your eating without using willpower.I am a woman who has engaged in all kinds of eating behaviors over the course of my lifetime. From way overeating, to way undereating, to comfort or boredom or stress eating. I’ve done the extreme restriction thing, and I’ve also done the “F it, I’m eating a bag of Cheetos for dinner” thing.And I’ve come through all of it to land here, in a place where food is now an easy, pleasurable part of my life, with none of the guilt of “diet thinking” holding me back.This process – the two simple mindset steps that I’m diving into today - is work that I personally have done to go from feeling like I was constantly at the mercy of my unexplainable and uncontrollable eating urges to living a life of total diet freedom.And the best part? I didn’t use willpower to get here and I don’t have to rely on willpower to stay here, either, because what I have is self trust.You, my friend, can feel this way about food, too.

Of course you want to get consistent with your weight loss habits, but consistency feels SO hard, and right now you’re wondering if you should just throw in the towel. My friend, if you’re struggling with consistency, this episode is for you, because today I’m sharing three reasons why you can’t get consistent and exactly what to do about it.I know everybody and their weight loss coach tells you how you’ve gotta be consistent to reach your goals, and we all sort of acknowledge, like “Yeah, consistency is hard,” but nobody talks about why it’s so hard or what to do about it, other than using willpower or self-discipline.But, my friend, even though I am a weight loss coach, I’m definitely not “everybody,” and the solution I’m sharing with you today is going to crack your mindset wide open *and* solve your consistency problems.Because the problem isn’t your crazy schedule or your character. The real problem is your unspoken, undefined, and largely unconscious (or at least subconscious) expectations of what consistency is “supposed to” look like.And, yes, what I’m saying is that you have mindset blocks about consistency.So today, we’re digging into those blocks with three common reasons why you can’t get consistent (and how to fix them).Ready to Get Your Goal?

So, you’re ready to lose weight for the last time by changing your mindset. But how exactly do you do that? And why does it work, when all the dieting you’ve been doing after menopause makes it feel like nothing will ever work again? In this episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, I’m sharing exactly how journaling helps you lose weight.It’s no secret that I am a huge fan of journaling. In fact, I consider myself a journaling coach, a journaling mentor, and even a journaling teacher.I think a lot of us know that journaling is good for us, in that vague way that we know brushing our teeth is good for us. Like, everybody says it’s helpful, but how? And why?Well, a dentist will tell you that your gum health is actually directly tied to your heart health, and a life coach – me – will tell you that journaling for self awareness is the direct path to creating weight loss habits you can stick with.And, like a dentist who is an expert in their field, I can talk about journaling all day long! Or, for about 45 minutes. Today’s full-length, deep dive episode is another foray into the Pahla B archives, with a Masterclass I taught just a few months ago, called “How To Lose All the Weight You Want (by journaling about it!)”When you listen all the way through, you’ll get not just the teaching part, but the Q&A from other menopausal women who are struggling with the same weight loss questions you are. This episode is chock full of the actionable information you need to start journaling for weight loss right now. Enjoy!Ready to Get Your Goal?

Of course you want faster weight loss results. We all do! But it already feels like you’re doing everything you can. Should you eat even less? Workout even more? My friend, you don’t need to do either one of those things, because I have a short list of two things you can do that’ll really move the needle on the scale.As I promised you last week, I’ve got another deep-dive Masterclass that I pulled up from the Pahla B archives.

After a lifetime of hearing that you have to eat healthy or low calorie foods to lose weight, or you have to give up carbs or fats or desserts to lose the weight you want – well, overthinking menopausal women like you are understandably skeptical when my answer to the question of “Can you REALLY eat what you want and still lose weight?” is unequivocally “Yes, you can.”When I was preparing for this week’s episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, I went back into the Pahla B archives to watch a Masterclass I had put on about eight or nine months ago. I knew I had made a couple of points in that class that I wanted to share with you on the podcast, but I had honestly forgotten just how useful and actionable the whole class was.So today, instead of just sharing a few points from that Masterclass, I’m sharing the entire thing, including the viewer Q&A at the end, which was super valuable as well.And let me give you a little heads up. While I was in the vault, I found a couple of other Masterclasses I’m excited to share with you, too. So, over the next three weeks, you can enjoy these longer episodes that get super in-depth on the weight loss mindset topics you care about most.Today’s Masterclass was recorded last fall, and it’s all about how to navigate “eating season” while you’re losing weight.

I know you’ve got ‘em, because everybody has “diet thoughts.” In your head, they make so much sense and they sound so true. But not only are these thoughts not true, they’re holding you back from losing all the weight you want. So today, we’re exploring four “diet thoughts” you can let go of right now.Letting go of your unhelpful thinking is a piece of the weight loss mindset puzzle that often gets overlooked. And I get it. I mean, it’s so much more pleasant to write affirmations to yourself on your mirror or to make gratitude lists or count your blessings or celebrate your wins. Everybody wants to feel good. Me, too.But skipping over the yucky parts of your journey isn’t doing you any favors. In fact, not releasing your diet thoughts is the exact reason you’re either struggling to lose weight right now or the culprit behind why you’ve gained and lost weight so many times in your life.As long as you continue thinking “diet thoughts” you’ll continue being on a diet.Are you ready to let them go?
