Step Into Your Power, One Goal at a Time

Babe, goals are like your life’s compass. They show you the way when you’re feeling lost, keep you sharp when distractions hit, and give you that little push to grow beyond what you thought possible. Without them? You’re just wandering, no spark, no fire. Goals aren’t a chain — they’re your wings.

Let’s be honest — goals don’t work unless they mean something to you.

Not your boss. Not your mother. Not cousin Chris, who thinks you should’ve bought a house by now.

If you want your life to feel different, this is where it begins — with clarity, care, and follow-through.

Know What You Actually Want

None of this “I just want to be happy” stuff. Get specific.

What would a better day feel like?

What’s tugging at you lately, even if it sounds ridiculous out loud?

This isn’t about what looks good on Instagram. It’s about what feels right in your bones.

If Chris wouldn’t get it, you’re probably on the right track.

Speak It Into the World

Say it aloud. Not to everyone — just to someone who won’t roll their eyes or try to edit your dream.

Or write it down like it’s already unfolding.

Your vision needs oxygen. Don’t keep it locked away in the back of a dusty sleepout with the old camping gear and broken tent poles.

Set a Real Date

If your goal doesn’t have a timeframe, it’s just a wish.

Pick a date. Not because you’ll “fail” if you miss it, but because structure supports flow.

Time gives shape to intention. It’s a boundary that helps your future self find you.

Put It Where You’ll See It

Don’t write your goal in a notebook you never open.

Stick it where it’ll stare back at you — the fridge, the car dashboard, next to the kettle.

Let it remind you that what you said matters.

Show Up for 21 Days Straight

Consistency builds trust with yourself.

Do something small every day for 21 days, even if it’s clumsy, even if your energy’s low.

You’re not proving anything. You’re building momentum.

This is how you gently rewire the way you show up for your life — not by force, but by devotion.

Last year, when I was getting married, I leaned on this — showing up every day, however small — and I shifted that stubborn menopausal weight, became physically stronger, and lost a load of anxiety that had been holding me back for years.

Celebrate As You Go

Forget waiting until it’s “done.” That moment doesn’t come.

Notice the shifts. Celebrate the days you didn’t ghost your own dream.

Progress isn’t loud — it’s steady. Let that be enough.

Expect Fear. Don’t Let It Be the Boss

Fear’s not the enemy. Avoiding it is.

So when fear shows up (and it will), don’t make it mean you’re off track.

You’re just leaving your comfort zone. Stay with it. Keep going.

You’re not fragile — you’re just growing.

Your goal doesn’t need to look profound to anyone else.

It just needs to feel real to you.

Start. Then start again. That’s how this works.
