Don’t Be Intimidated by Your Big Dreams

Happy Sunday!

First off, a huge thank you to everyone who showed up for the Q&A and goal-setting sessions this past week!

Your energy, questions, and willingness to dive into your goals inspired me more than you know.

I’m more motivated than ever to keep cultivating a space where we don’t just talk about our dreams - we actually go after them and execute in a way that feels aligned and fulfilling.

Big Dreams? Don’t Be Intimidated

I know how easy it is to look at your big dreams and feel completely overwhelmed.

You might think, “How am I ever going to get there?”

But here’s the thing—it’s not about shrinking your dreams to make them feel manageable.

It’s about breaking them down into small, actionable steps that keep you moving forward without burning out.

This isn’t the year to play small. It’s the year to think big and take consistent, realistic steps toward what you want.

3x3: Three Ways to Tackle Big Goals Without Feeling Overwhelmed

  1. Break It Down
    Take your big goal and break it into bite-sized tasks. For example, if your dream is to launch a YouTube channel, don’t focus on the entire channel at once. Start by scripting your first video, then move on to filming, editing, and finally, posting.
  2. Set Mini Deadlines
    Give yourself small, manageable deadlines for each task. Instead of saying, “I’ll launch my website this year,” set a goal like, “I’ll choose a website template by Friday.” These little wins build momentum.
  3. Celebrate the Progress
    Don’t wait until you’ve reached the finish line to celebrate. Every step forward is a victory. Whether it’s hitting ‘publish’ on your first blog post or gaining your first follower, take a moment to acknowledge how far you’ve come.

January's Book

I am ashamed to say I am STILL going through What Got You Here Won’t Get You There by Marshall Goldsmith, and it’s hitting me how often we overcomplicate progress.

This book is a great reminder that we don’t always need to make massive changes—we just need to identify the small habits holding us back and adjust from there.
