Think setting goals is the ultimate key to success? Think again. In this episode, we explore the messy, stressy underbelly of ambition — where burnout brews, perfectionism takes over, and chasing dreams can derail your sanity. Tune in for some real talk, a few laughs, and tips to keep your goals from going full Darth Vader.
SUMMARY
As the New Year approaches, it's time to rethink goal setting. In this episode, Todd and Bettijo dive into the potential pitfalls of big, lofty goals and share a more balanced approach to achieving personal growth. While resolutions are widely seen as an opportunity for self-improvement, they discuss how goals can lead to stress, burnout, and self-doubt instead.
From juggling daily to-do lists as busy parents to navigating life’s curveballs, this episode offers strategies for setting realistic goals that empower rather than discourage. Bettijo reflects on how homeschooling reshaped her priorities, while Todd shares insights from his transition from child actor to the demands of adult life.
Join us for a candid conversation about embracing flexibility, adapting to life’s seasons, and redefining success on your own terms. Whether you’re a goal-getter or goal-avoider, this episode will inspire you to kick off the year with a fresh mindset.
