What if we’ve been taught to set goals the wrong way all
along?





In this episode, I sit down with Caroline Adams Miller, a
pioneering expert in positive psychology and bestselling author
of Big Goals.





Caroline’s work has transformed how the world approaches goal
setting—from vague wishes to science-backed strategies that
actually work.





She’s coached leaders, elite athletes, and mission-driven humans
on how to set meaningful, gutsy goals that change lives—and in
this conversation, she shares her full framework.





Here’s what we cover:





Why SMART goals are outdated and what to use instead

How to get into a state of joy and gratitude before setting
big goals

The full breakdown of Caroline’s BRIDGE method for goal
achievement

How to build grit (and why alcohol may be getting in your
way)

What most people get wrong when making high-stakes decisions

Why women need to lift each other more than ever—and how men
can help






If you're ready to ditch playing small and start building a life
of purpose, this episode will give you the tools—and mindset—to
get there.
