Welcome to A Voice and Beyond. I'm Marissa Lee and I'm really glad you're here.

In today's solo episode, I want to check in and see how you're really going with the goals you set for 2026. Not the ones you casually talk about,

not the ones you tell other people you're working on, but the ones that really matter to you.

In today's show, we're talking about why support changes everything, why alignment matters more than hustle,

and why living in connection with your vision and not your fear is the key to creating real momentum in

your life. We'll talk about why so many people abandon their goals,

not because they aren't capable, but because they simply don't believe they're allowed to want

more. And I'll also share what I've learnt through my own life and through recent conversations

with incredible guests

like Chris Leipsey and Renee Zuckin about the power of mentorship, support and alignment.

This episode isn't about pushing harder. It's definitely not about doing more and it's not about fixing yourself.

It's about remembering who you are, reconnecting with what matters and allowing yourself to be

supported as you step into the life you were meant to live.

Wherever you are right now, whether you're driving, walking, sitting quietly, or just

taking a moment for yourself, take a breath and let's begin.

So, without further ado, let's go to today's episode.

Hey, my beautiful friends, welcome back to A Voice and Beyond.

It's Marissa Lee here, and today's episode is simply about checking in.

This is not a lecture, not a pep talk full of pressure or giving you a to-do list. It's just a moment to pause,

to breathe and to gently ask you, how are you really going with your goals for 2026?

Not the goals you posted26. Not the goals you posted online, not the goals you told everyone about on your

socials January 1st, but the ones that live quietly in your heart. The ones you think about when you're driving alone in the car, or lying awake at night,
