This week we are talking about goal setting and the ways we try to keep ourselves motivated throughout the year.

We chat about how we set personal goals, whether vision boards are actually more helpful than traditional resolutions, and how spirituality and mindset can play a role in staying focused on what you want. We also get into our bookish goals, reading habits we want to improve, and how realistic it really is to stay motivated once the excitement of January disappears.

If you have ever made a vision board, set ambitious reading goals, or promised yourself this would be the year you finally get your life together, this episode will hopefully feel very relatable!
