Summary

Let’s talk about goals! I’m getting real about my love/hate relationship with goal setting in this episode of WITH LOVE, DANIELLE. After 15 years of trial and error, I’m sharing how to set Heart Centered goals — the kind that come from your soul, not your ego.

Ever crushed a goal and thought, “I should’ve aimed higher”? Or set one and realized it wasn’t what you really wanted? I feel you. Let’s reframe it and aim for goals that expand, heal, and serve.

Together, we’ll explore the difference between ego-driven goals that drain you and soul-centered ones that lift you up.

You deserve it!

With love,
Danielle

0:00.0	My loves, today we're going to talk about something I've been on and off talking about for
0:07.7	15 years, which is goals, preferably goals with soul. And I've been really transparent. I mean,
0:17.3	I am transparent. This is with Love Danielle all along that I have had this contentious
0:22.2	relationship with goal setting. And like every concept, there is a shadow side and a light side.
0:29.8	And I want to be on the light side of my own history. My pattern with goals, my experience, I should say, with goal setting has been set a goal,
0:40.8	don't reach it, feel like a loser. Set a goal, exceed it, like just really super, super crush it,
0:54.0	and think to myself, wow, I should have aimed higher.
0:57.4	We could have gone so much further faster.
1:00.3	I've been thinking too small.
1:02.7	Set a goal and changed my mind because I evolved.

1:22.8	So mostly I feel like goals are this moving target. In the shadow side, they can be a distraction.
1:36.7	They can keep you out of alignment with your heart and your soul's purpose. They can be so ego-driven, goals that are about proving to people that you are worthy of being here
1:55.0	and they need to love you the way that you were never loved before.
2:00.3	You know, like that's so much of what goal setting is about.
2:04.0	However, I am down with biblical proverbs, which is, without vision, we perish.
2:14.1	So for the purposes of this conversation, maybe we'll use the term goal and vision,
2:21.7	intention, aspiration. I'm going to interchange all of those things. I'll get us to some clarity,
2:26.5	but I think the light side of goals, the heart-centered side of goals are, this is how we create.
