Ep 24: Non-Toxic Goal Setting for HSP & Neurodivergent Business Owners with Sara Lobkovich

In today’s episode, I’m joined by the brilliant Sara Lobkovich for a conversation about setting goals that actually support your capacity, not override it. Sara is a coach and strategist who speaks candidly about being twice exceptional, having a trauma-impacted brain, and building a business as a deeply introverted human.

Together, we explore:

• What “non-toxic” goal-setting really means

• How intrinsic, “selfish” goals lead to deeper alignment

• Why this approach is especially supportive for neurodivergent business owners

• How to shift from achievement obsession to growth and progress

• The power of coherence over consistency

• A step-by-step way to set shame-free goals rooted in who you are

• The connection between non-toxic productivity and nervous system-informed work

This conversation is full of practical insights and gentle reframes for anyone who’s ever felt like traditional goal-setting just... doesn’t fit.

 

Sara is a strategist, Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) Master Coach, and Nationally Board-Certified Health and Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC) who works with purpose-led organizations and people whose identity, cognitive style, or values put them at odds with mainstream business culture.

I help people and teams shift strategy from overwhelming to achievable so they can learn their way to achieving their big, bold goals.
