Do you ever feel like your love of learning turns into procrastination? I get itāI'm a professor, a teacher, and growth-minded to my core. But sometimes, all that learning keeps me from taking action or making decisions. Iāve realized that decision fatigueāthat overwhelming mental drain from too many choicesācan leave us stuck, impulsive, or scattered.
In this episode, I share how goal setting has been a game-changer for reducing decision fatigue in my life. When we set clear, intentional goals that align with our values, we eliminate the guesswork, prioritize what truly matters, and save energy for the things that deserve it. Clarity creates focus. Priorities simplify choices. And frameworks, like my āword of the year,ā make decision-making faster and easier.
If youāre tired of feeling overwhelmed by decisions, this episode is for you. Letās simplify, get clear, and take action. Youāre going to love this!

In this episode, I share a fresh perspective on goal-setting by exploring the concept of giving goals. Unlike traditional goals that focus on personal achievements, giving goals center on kindness, service, and generosity. Inspired by a conversation with my husband during our annual goal-setting tradition, we discuss how to prioritize selflessness and create a positive impact in our communities, families, and workplaces.
Discover practical ways to incorporate giving goals into every life domaināwhether it's contributing to a loved oneās health, supporting your kidsā growth, or rallying for a cause youāre passionate about, like my husbandās inspiring backpack project. If typical goals leave you feeling stuck or selfish, this episode will energize you to dream big about offering your time, resources, and support to benefit others.
Tune in for actionable ideas, heartwarming inspiration, and a unique approach to making the upcoming year more meaningful through giving.

In todayās episode, I delve into why so many of usāespecially womenāexperience heightened stress during the holiday season. I talk about cognitive overload, the mental strain that occurs when weāre overwhelmed by tasks, decisions, and responsibilities, which often leads to fatigue and burnout. We cover the power of boundaries, how setting non-negotiables and releasing nonessential commitments can protect our mental energy. I also encourage you to try pre-planning responses to common requests and practice āmicro-boundaries,ā like finding quiet moments in gatherings to recharge. Finally, I emphasize the importance of self-compassion; the holidays donāt need to be perfect to be meaningful. Instead, focus on moments of joy, and allow space for imperfections. With a bit of planning, boundaries, and self-compassion, you can reduce stress, stay present, and truly enjoy what matters most this holiday season. Hereās to a magical, balanced, and less overwhelming holiday.
