In this solo episode, Megs opens up about her family’s big move, her husband’s new job, and the messy middle of rebuilding routines, dreams, and self-trust. She shares why traditional goal setting can feel so cringey and overwhelming for ADHD brains—especially during the holiday season—and how to reframe goals into something more realistic and compassionate. Through personal stories about yoga, budgeting, and “one-day projects,” Megs reminds listeners that progress doesn’t have to be perfect to count. This episode is about trusting your pace, finding small wins, and believing that the tiny steps you take today are proof that you can do hard things.
