Life Goals In Progress

The start of a launch is exciting. The middle is where most people lose it. Crickets, doubt, the urge to quit early. Kelsey McCormick from Coming Up Roses joins Coley to talk through the mid-launch dip and why your energy is what carries a launch across the finish line. They cover how to set a launch goal that's tied to your real life, how to warm up an audience from cold to ready-to-buy, and why...

What if money didn't have to be this big emotional thing you avoid? In this episode, Coley sits down with Meaghan Wall, aka the Hot Girl CFO, to talk about building a relationship with money that lands somewhere neutral instead of swinging between dread and dopamine. Meaghan shares how two business breakups became the catalyst for her current business, why she names her bank accounts fun things to...

How much of your life do you actually create, and how much do you just allow to happen? In this episode, Coley and Nina get into the messy question of flow versus creation. Are we little co-creators steering our own lives, or is something bigger calling the shots? They talk type A vs. type B personalities, the TV characters who plan everything until life derails them anyway, and the sales rule tha...

We're a few weeks into the Life Goals Lock In 60 and I'm giving you a full update — the good, the hard, and what I've actually learned so far. In this episode I'm getting into my two priority goals for the challenge and how they're going, plus we're talking about week three. Because if you're in this challenge with me or going after any goal right now, week three is where it gets real. The novelty...

If you've ever sat in the limbo of "do I keep going with this or change everything," agonized over a choice for weeks, or made a snap decision that somehow turned out to be the right one, this one is for you. Decision-making is having a moment. Between AI making half our smaller choices for us, the wellness world telling us to follow our gut, and the productivity world telling us to optimize every...

If you've ever thought about going into business with your partner — or you're already in it and figuring it out as you go — this one is for you. We talk a lot about goal-setting on this show, but we don't always talk about what happens when the person you're building with is also the person you go home to. The lines blur. The conversations never stop. And figuring out who owns what — and when wor...

If you've ever stared at your to-do list, felt completely overwhelmed by all of it, and then somehow ended up reorganizing your desk instead — this one is for you. We talk a lot about goal-setting on this show, but we realized we've never actually talked about what happens when the standard advice just... doesn't work for your brain. Not because you're not trying hard enough. Because the system wa...

Most of us don't have a goal problem. We have a distraction problem. You know what you want — you're just letting scrolling, pop culture rabbit holes, and half-hearted habits quietly eat the time you could be using to actually get there. Enough. In this episode, I'm introducing the Life Goals Lock-In 60 — a 60-day challenge designed to help you cut the noise and make real progress on the one or tw...

If you've ever caught yourself deep in a Hannah Montana rabbit hole at 11pm and thought, "I am a grown adult with a mortgage," this one is for you. The nostalgia wave is everywhere right now. Reboots, reunions, Disney adults, childhood shows making their way back into the cultural conversation. We are not mad about it. But we did start wondering why it hits so hard, what we're actually chasing whe...

If you've ever gotten to Friday and thought "wait, when did I actually run my business this week?" this one's for you. For a long time, Mondays just kind of happened. Things were getting done, but there was no real moment to zoom out, check in, and ask: how is the business actually doing? Not as the person doing the work, but as the CEO and founder. So I built one. It's called CEO Monday, and in t...

In this episode, Nina and I are getting into the "Public vs. Private" debate when it comes to goal setting. We've all seen the quotes on Pinterest about "grinding in silence," but we've also seen the massive success of the "build in public" movement. So, which one is actually better for your sanity—and your success? We're talking about the "fear of being perceived," how to handle the "haters" (and...

If you're feeling exhausted from juggling social media, this is for you. In this episode, I'm getting real about the "social media burnout" we've all felt. We're so used to Instagram and TikTok being our business lifelines, but what happens when you want to put the phone down? I'm sharing how I built a business and sold hundreds of courses without ever making Instagram my main priority. It's about...

Are you feeling the pressure to have a "brand new you" this year, but you're still stuck in the same old skin? In this episode, Coley and Nina peel back the layers on the stories we tell ourselves. We're moving past the "New Year, New Me" clichés and getting into the messy reality of identity shifts. From the dance between masculine and feminine energies to the exhausting weight of people-pleasing...

This episode digs into the tension between being content with your life and still wanting more from it.
