Is it time to refresh your goals for the second half of the year? While January is often treated as the default for setting goals, the midpoint of the year offers something far more valuable: six months of real-world data. You’ve seen what your practice, your schedule, and your life actually look like, which means now is the ideal moment to reassess what’s working, what isn’t, and what you want to carry forward.
In this episode, I explore why mid-year is a powerful time to recalibrate your goals. Unlike the vacuum of January ambition, June gives you lived experience to evaluate which goals align with your values and which ones need to be let go of or reimagined. You’ll learn how to recognize the difference between the wrong goal and the right goal with the wrong support, and how to release the shame of falling short in favor of insight and alignment.
By stepping back to reflect and plan, you’ll gain clarity on your true priorities and create a structure that sets you up for success in the months ahead. You’ll leave with practical ways to build momentum through the summer and into the fall, so your goals reflect who you are now, not who you thought you had to be in January.
