Goal Setting

Goal Setting

The Goodness Chick podcast takes a deep dive into the world of goal setting, featuring Erin Lawler Patterson and her guest, Sean Kirby. Erin, an addictions counsellor and motivational speaker, brings her unique perspective to the table, exploring how setting realistic goals can enhance your life quality. Sean Kirby, a Spanish teacher with over 14 years of experience, shares his mantra: 'How you do anything is how you do everything'.

This episode challenges the idea of New Year's resolutions, advocating for more achievable and emotionally connected goals. Sean discusses how attaching emotions to goals can make them more tangible and shares his own journey of personal achievements. From planning a trip for his parents to completing a 25-mile bike ride, Sean demonstrates how specificity and emotion can turn dreams into reality.

Erin and Sean also touch on the importance of surrounding yourself with supportive peers and mentors who inspire you to live intentionally. They emphasise that living awake rather than existing asleep can lead to transformation. With anecdotes from their work with high school students, they illustrate how goal setting isn't just about ticking boxes but about truly living.

If you're looking to make meaningful changes in your life or simply want to be inspired by two passionate educators, this episode offers plenty of food for thought. So, why not set some time aside to explore what goal setting could mean for you?
