Summary

(This episode is a special shortened preview from More Personal, Monica's premium, private, ad-free podcast for the Supporters Club, starting at just $5 a month. Join the HERE TO STAY: 250 SUPPORTERS DRIVE and help ensure About Progress doesn't just make it to its 10 year anniversary this Fall, but make it so it's here to stay. Join the club ⁠HERE⁠.) In this candid "Working on Things" episode, Monica shares her 10 personal goals for 2026 as she approaches her 40th birthday.  You'll hear about her complicated relationship with goal-setting, ways she makes goals doable but motivating,  and how she's learning to celebrate milestones instead of bouncing right over them. Monica also gets real about the challenges: feeling like two ships passing in the night with her husband, struggling with tech boundaries while running a business, the endless cycle of high-conflict children, and the weight of launching a book on a shoestring budget. But she also shares what's lighting her up—her hobby year (including returning to ballet!), plans for adventures, and her word of the year: reclamation. Listen if you: Want to hear an honest take on goal-setting that isn't about hustle culture Are navigating the chaos of responsibilities and trying to feel like your life is your own Need permission to do goals differently—broader, more flexible, more human Are approaching a milestone birthday and want to make it meaningful Appreciate messy, real conversations about personal growth This isn't a polished how-to. It's a real-time look at someone figuring it out. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Reaching 250 supporters covers the bare-bones cost of running the show, so it can remain free, accessible, and steady for everyone.

No adding a paywall, no increasing the number of ads.

We're moving that thermometer up, and every new supporter helps lock this in. Even the

lowest level at $2 a month makes a real difference. In this month, every supporter is getting

something special for me and I'm raffling off favorite thing packages every week pulling from all

supporters. The Supporters Club is not a charity. There are three levels of benefits you'll love

for more time to more content with me.

This preview is of one of those benefits, more personal, a show I air weekly to the top two levels, starting at $5 a month.

It's always ad-free, but not when it's on about progress, so you will hear some ads today, and it will be shortened as well.

If you've ever thought, I'd miss this show if it

2026 is well on its way and picking up steam and so is my push to continue in purging, organizing,
