Editor's note: Wow! It has been so long since I posted an episode. Life got crazy, and it's certainly not easy keeping up with a podcast on the side. With that being said, this episode will close out Season 1, and I am so excited to start working on Season 2 for 2026. It'll focus a bit more on the actions of completing goals as well as talking to experts who have completed those goals, as well. Stay tuned, this will all be coming in the new year!
