Do your goals ever feel so big that you end up not taking any action at all? In this episode, we break down how to turn your values into action — with three simple questions that make your goals actually doable. Learn how to stop drifting, avoid overwhelm, and start moving in the direction that matters most to you — one small, realistic step at a time. You don’t have to reach the destination to feel fulfilled — the progress itself changes your brain, boosts resilience, and reduces anxiety.

We’ll walk through:

• Why small, easy steps matter more than big leaps
• How to use the “3-step goal-setting method” to keep momentum
• What to do when discomfort shows up on your way toward growth
• Why meaningful goals—not perfect ones—lead to lasting wellbeing
