26. How to stick to your goals and maintain momentum through summer vacation

AHHH Summer. Days at the beach. Swims in the pool. Margaritas on the patio. Suntans, sandy feet, late night sunsets. 

If thinking of all those things don’t make you want to go on vacation right now, you might as well just stop listening to this episode right now. 

Summer is here and in full swing. And I’ve been hearing from some of you that you’re not sure what to do with your goals right about now.

Maybe you’re the woman feeling guilty for taking time off your goal in the summer. Maybe you’re afraid that if you take the summer off, well, you’ll never get back on track.  Obviously, you don’t want to get stuck, lose momentum, and fall behind… right? 

But I also know a lot of you are worried about burnout. I mean, haven’t you been through ENOUGH this year?!

Do you really still need to push, grind, hustle, and do all the things?! 

So what’s a Goalden Girl to do? How do you balance goals - and summer?

Make no mistake - there’s a balance here: 

On one hand, there’s the desire to make progress on your goals and the reality that success requires consistency? And that habits require you to actually do them for them to stay habits….

How do you balance all that …

With the desire to enjoy and make the most of your SUMMER, relaxed atmosphere, and the good weather? 

Have no fear: I’m here to share some wisdom and tips with you to help you balance just that - progress and presence.

Listen in: by the end of this episode, you’ll be ready to: 

  • make the MOST of both the summer season and good weather -- without losing momentum, guilting yourself OR burning out.

  • You’ll be intentional about what you actually want this summer, and how to make it happen

  • ANDDDD you’ll feel refreshed and excited about the next season when it does come - and ready to keep making progress 

So, I mean, since it’s summer and all, while you’re listening, grab yourself a spot on the patio, pour yourself a glass of Rosé or jalapeño margarita (my current obsession), and enjoy this episode.
