As the end of the year gets closer, do you feel the pressure heating up?

Is there a little voice nagging at you to hurry up and meet those goals you set back in January, telling you it’s time to push harder?

Before you decide to go full throttle, there’s something you should know…

It’s all a trap.

This week, Karlee explains why the end-of-the-year hustle is a never-ending cycle that doesn’t lead to sustainable success. Pushing to do it all before the calendar changes goes against the cues of the natural world, which shows us that this is a time to rest and regenerate. 

In this episode, you’ll learn the importance of setting goals through purpose rather than push. You’ll hear how sustained success depends on our ability to tap into a more regenerative way of approaching this season, highlighting the natural rhythms of life instead of an imaginary finish line. You’ll hear a simple, actionable tip for recalibrating your pace so you can carve out moments of rest - and reclaim some of your better thinking. 

If you’re ready to make the extraordinary decision to discern your own pace, then this is the episode for you.
