Read MoreIn this slightly-longer FMQ, weâre taking a gentle but powerful step toward real change. No more talking about the issue. No more cycling through the same thoughts. This episode is all about shifting your focus to what actually creates transformation â how you want to feel.

In this episode, I share a simple but powerful approach to goal setting that most people miss: starting from the last step â that moment when youâve already achieved your goal â and using that feeling to drive you forward. Youâll discover how to find your true why, anchor your motivation, and create a plan thatâs realistic, energising, and deeply aligned with what you want.
