20. Don't make the mistake of setting goals in THIS mental state (PLUS: 3 steps to bouncing back from a creative block + sh*tty mood)

Call Me When You Get This

Woooah boy, did I have a Britney-circa-2007 kind of meltdown this week! When my mild creative block became a dark + twisty mood and then spiraled into intense self-loathing, I did a few things right to get out of that mess—and a few things wrong, too.

And now? I'm going to save you from making those mistakes...and the depths of the self-loathing pit.

In this episode, I walk you through 3 easy steps to bouncing back from creative block, PLUS breakdown why we should NEVER try to set goals in one particular set of circumstances and mindset—no matter what time of year it is. [Honestly, can everyone stop reminding us that we're about to kick off a new decade? I'm sweating under the pressure.]

Oh, also—coffee, Brian McKnight lays down the rules, and almost shattering my phone almost shatters your eardrum. My bad.

So…Call me when you get this?

No really, call me! 510) 394-2104.

Leave a voicemail with your love notes, feedback, and questions for me to research, and I’ll be sure to call you back.

Got an epic idea, but feeling stuck? Maybe you want to pivot careers, launch a business, start a non-profit, quit life and travel the world...but have NO idea how you'll find the money, time, support, or resources to make this thing happen? I get it—and I've been there.

You don't need more generic, good vibe-y (but totally un-researched) advice from self-proclaimed "experts" telling you to "pursue your passion," "learn to prioritize," or "practice self-care." You're not lazy, distracted, or lost. You just need help getting out of your own way.

You need goal-setting strategies rooted in psychology, accountability, and aggressive cheerleading.

In other words: Me. I can help.
