How Planning and Goal Setting Make You a Better Example for Your Kids | Ep. 230

2025-05-13

In this episode, I share how planning and goal setting have helped me become a more present, less anxious parent. I talk about my journey through postpartum anxiety, and how creating structure in my life helped me show up more fully—for myself and my kids. I’ve found that when I make space for my own goals, I’m not just growing personally—I’m also modeling resilience, intention, and follow-through.

I’ve found that when I make space for my own goals, I’m not just growing personally—I’m also modeling resilience, intention, and follow-through. My kids see what it looks like to try, to adjust, and to keep going.

I also share simple practices we use as a family—like shared check-ins and celebrating wins—that help us all stay connected and grounded. If you’ve been craving more balance between your ambitions and parenting, this episode is for you.

imes just plain awful. I share personal stories, client feedback, and research on what really makes accountability work. Spoiler: it's not about control or shame; it’s about building systems that support you.

We talk about why so many people resist accountability (hint: nobody likes feeling micromanaged) and how internal vs. external accountability plays into it. I also break down how to create healthy, motivating accountability that actually helps you follow through — without feeling like a failure.

If you’ve ever struggled with accountability groups, hated check-ins, or just want a better way to stay on track, this episode will give you the tools and mindset shift you need. Plus, I invite you to join me in the Plan Goal Plan Your Year course for a fresh, supportive accountability experience!
