In this episode, I’m diving into the powerful connection between planning, goal-setting, and personal development. As we step into a fresh year, I’m embracing the “fresh start effect” and sharing why it’s okay to set your goals on your timeline—not just in January. Clarity comes through action, and mindful planning is the key to aligning your time with who you truly want to become.
I’ll also let you in on some exciting changes coming to Plan Goal Plan in 2025! From a refreshed cover design to weaving more of my academic research into episodes, I’m refining this space to bring you insights that blend storytelling, transformation, and identity.
This episode is about more than time management—it’s about crafting a life that feels connected and intentional. Let’s step into this new year together with curiosity, action, and joy. I can’t wait for what’s ahead!

In this episode, I close out the year with my heartfelt wishes for you and your journey into 2025. I reflect on the courage it takes to slow down, embrace balance, and honor the messy, beautiful moments that make life truly yours. As a podcast host and teacher, I share what I tell my students: podcasting—and life—is about listening, connecting, and showing up for what matters most.
I invite you to pause and celebrate how far you've come—every small win, every moment you chose rest, connection, or alignment over perfection. I offer three simple yet powerful tools to guide you into the new year: a mantra for balance, one small action step, and time to dream big about what you want.
This episode is for anyone ready to lead with love, pursue joy without guilt, and create a life that reflects their values. Let’s step into 2025—balanced, bold, and fully present.

What went well in 2024, What Didn't, and Sneaky Plans for 2025
What worked in 2024? What didn’t? And what juicy goals am I setting for 2025? Let’s dive in!
In this episode, I’m walking you through my yearly review—what reflection revealed about my year and how it’s shaped my intentions for the next. From health wins like finally getting good sleep (thank you, magnesium and vitamin D!) to fitness growth and family mini-adventures, 2024 has been a year of progress and learning. But it hasn’t been without its challenges, like adjusting to a healthier body and refining financial habits.
As I look ahead to 2025, my theme is refinement. I’m taking the systems and habits I’ve built and fine-tuning them. From prioritizing one-on-one adventures with my kids to focusing on financial goals that pave the way for an exciting travel future, I’m ready to embrace the challenge.
If you’re curious about goal-setting, check out the Plan Goal Plan Your Year Course—work at your own pace with opportunities for coaching. Or grab the Sense of Possibilities Goal Setting Planner to reflect and plan with pen and paper.

Life often gives us turning points—some come as incredible opportunities, others arrive as explosions of grief or loss that shift everything we know. In this episode, I sit down with Brian Curtis to explore how a literal explosion became a catalyst for his growth and how whitewater rafting taught him the power of trusting the flow.
Brian shares how internal conflicts and disconnection from ourselves can create breakdowns in our lives and how reconnecting to our “heart space” is the key to finding peace, purpose, and direction. We also dive into the importance of creative expression, meditation, and the hard lesson of learning when to let go and when to hold on.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by life’s currents, stuck in your goals, or like you’re fighting against the flow—this conversation will inspire you to pause, trust, and realign. Let’s do this!

Do you ever feel like your love of learning turns into procrastination? I get it—I'm a professor, a teacher, and growth-minded to my core. But sometimes, all that learning keeps me from taking action or making decisions. I’ve realized that decision fatigue—that overwhelming mental drain from too many choices—can leave us stuck, impulsive, or scattered.
In this episode, I share how goal setting has been a game-changer for reducing decision fatigue in my life. When we set clear, intentional goals that align with our values, we eliminate the guesswork, prioritize what truly matters, and save energy for the things that deserve it. Clarity creates focus. Priorities simplify choices. And frameworks, like my “word of the year,” make decision-making faster and easier.
If you’re tired of feeling overwhelmed by decisions, this episode is for you. Let’s simplify, get clear, and take action. You’re going to love this!

This week, I’m diving into something unexpected: chaos. That’s right—chaos isn’t just something to avoid; it’s a powerful tool for growth and goal setting. Inspired by a brilliant article from Amy Kilgard at San Francisco State University and my own wild classroom experiences, I’m exploring how embracing chaos can transform how we plan, learn, and achieve. Whether it’s students role-playing family dinners in a “loud and boisterous” classroom or life throwing curveballs, chaos can spark adaptability, creativity, and resilience.
In this episode, I’ll share how chaos isn’t true randomness but “orderly disorder”—a bumpy unpaved road leading to unexpected insights. I’ll also discuss how to use chaos to rethink rigid planning, embrace unpredictability, and build flexibility into your 2024 goals. If you’re ready to shake up your planning process and make it more adventurous, this episode is for you. Let’s make chaos your co-pilot!

Ever find yourself holding onto something just because you’ve already invested so much into it—whether it’s a project, habit, or even a relationship? That sneaky mindset is called the sunk cost fallacy, and it’s one of the biggest blocks to achieving true work-life balance. In today’s episode, I’m sharing how this belief might be keeping you stuck in routines, roles, or commitments that no longer serve your goals.
We’ll talk about how to recognize when it’s time to let go and explore three simple strategies to help you move forward: reframing letting go as a strength, anchoring decisions to your values, and starting small to build momentum. If you’re ready to release what’s not working and create space for what truly matters in 2025, this episode is for you. Let’s make bold, intentional choices together. Ready? Let’s do this!

Have you ever wondered how planning and goal-setting could truly change your life? In this episode, I’m sharing five powerful ways intentional planning has transformed mine. From making my days more delightful and my decisions simpler to deepening my relationships and aligning my work with my values, planning has helped me do less while feeling more fulfilled. I’ll also explore how these practices have strengthened my sense of self and helped me manage anxiety.
3 Key Takeaways:
Intentional Planning Creates Space for Delight: Planning isn’t just about getting things done—it’s about making room for joy, spontaneity, and personal growth. By setting goals that include fun and meaningful experiences, you can create a life that feels fulfilling and delightful.
Planning Simplifies Decisions and Reduces Stress: Regularly connecting with your values and priorities through planning helps you make thoughtful decisions more quickly. This reduces overwhelm and allows you to focus on what truly matters, whether it’s at work or at home.
Holistic Goal-Setting Deepens Self-Awareness: Through reflection and goal alignment, planning fosters a stronger sense of self. You’ll learn to navigate life with confidence, choosing paths that honor your needs and values while building richer relationships and a more balanced life.

In this episode, I share a fresh perspective on goal-setting by exploring the concept of giving goals. Unlike traditional goals that focus on personal achievements, giving goals center on kindness, service, and generosity. Inspired by a conversation with my husband during our annual goal-setting tradition, we discuss how to prioritize selflessness and create a positive impact in our communities, families, and workplaces.
Discover practical ways to incorporate giving goals into every life domain—whether it's contributing to a loved one’s health, supporting your kids’ growth, or rallying for a cause you’re passionate about, like my husband’s inspiring backpack project. If typical goals leave you feeling stuck or selfish, this episode will energize you to dream big about offering your time, resources, and support to benefit others.
Tune in for actionable ideas, heartwarming inspiration, and a unique approach to making the upcoming year more meaningful through giving.

In today’s episode, I delve into why so many of us—especially women—experience heightened stress during the holiday season. I talk about cognitive overload, the mental strain that occurs when we’re overwhelmed by tasks, decisions, and responsibilities, which often leads to fatigue and burnout. We cover the power of boundaries, how setting non-negotiables and releasing nonessential commitments can protect our mental energy. I also encourage you to try pre-planning responses to common requests and practice “micro-boundaries,” like finding quiet moments in gatherings to recharge. Finally, I emphasize the importance of self-compassion; the holidays don’t need to be perfect to be meaningful. Instead, focus on moments of joy, and allow space for imperfections. With a bit of planning, boundaries, and self-compassion, you can reduce stress, stay present, and truly enjoy what matters most this holiday season. Here’s to a magical, balanced, and less overwhelming holiday.
