If you’ve ever set big business goals in January only to feel behind, overwhelmed, or burnt out by March… this episode will feel like a deep exhale.

In this workshop-style episode, I walk you through how to design your 2026 business goals from a life-first foundation — so your business actually supports your real life (your time, your income needs, your energy) instead of draining it.

We’ll map out your main goal for 2026, run it through three key pillars, break it into realistic 90-day chunks, and ask two powerful questions that make your plan feel easier and more sustainable.

Grab your notebook (or listen on your walk and come back to this later) — this is a working session.
