Before you start setting goals for the year, this episode takes a step back. John talks about why goal-setting often feels exhausting, not because you’re bad at it, but because you’re overloaded, and why creating space matters more than creating a perfect plan. He shares a simple but powerful approach to slowing down, getting clear on what you actually want your days to feel like, and building goals that support your life instead of running it. A great listen if you’re feeling unsure of where exactly to start this year. 00:00 Introduction and New Year Reflections 00:32 The Struggle with Goal Setting 01:34 Creating Space for Clear Thinking 03:52 Collaborative Goal Setting 05:38 Life Design Before Goal Setting 08:39 Upcoming Episodes Preview
