What We Get Wrong Around Goal-Making + How to Pursue Bold Goals Without Burning Out || Wise Women Series, with Dr. Danielle McGeough
May 21, 2026

As someone who has historically had a complicated relationship with goals, I found Dr. Danielle McGeough's perspective refreshing and enlightening. One profound takeaway from our conversation was the concept of detaching self-worth from achievements. Danielle emphasized setting goals that focus on who you want to become on the journey, rather than just the destination. This shift in perspective transforms traditional goal-setting, allowing for personal evolution without the baggage of perfectionism or burnout. I’m excited to implement her insights and encourage you to explore this transformative approach. For anyone interested in similar conversations about practical progress, be sure to check out Danielle’s podcast, Plan Goal Plan.
