If you've ever set goals in January that felt inspiring, and by March you were tired, behind, or quietly ashamed, then this episode is for you.

In this episode, we are talking about a better way to set goals for 2026, one that actually fits your life.

Instead of chasing goals that look impressive, we focus on goals that are supported by capacity, systems, and real life constraints, especially for immigrants navigating career, money, family obligations, and life abroad.

You'll learn:

- Why most goals fail even when motivation is high

- How to filter goals through your capacity and non-negotiables

-The difference between outcomes and actions (and why actions matter more)

- Accountability rhythms that make goals stick

2026 doesnt need a new version of you. It needs a better supported version of you.

Listen now, and set goals that actually stick!
