Your 2026 goals might already be broken
Sunday night feels different this year.
That familiar dread settling in your chest. Another year. Same role. Same patterns. Same hollow feeling when you open your laptop Monday morning.
You told yourself it would feel different after the break.
It doesn't.
Typical January.
Successful women who've done all the "right" goal-setting.
But something fundamental is broken.
The truth is, your goals aren't broken because they're unrealistic.
They're broken because they're perfectly realistic... for someone else's definition of success.

The goals themselves drain you. You've written what you think you should achieve, not what actually lights you up.
