I love the end of the year! It’s such a magical time, with the holidays, looking back and savoring all the wonderful moments and accomplishments of the past year, and looking ahead to the unlimited possibilities and potential of the upcoming year. And it’s even more special right now as we head into the year 2020, a number that conjures up vision and clarity, and the start of a new decade.

In today’s episode, and at this magical transition point, I’m talking all about how you can set yourself up for success in the new year and the new decade.

In particular, I talk about:

• What the science of goal setting has to say about why the majority of New Years resolutions fail
• How we as women need to rethink new years resolutions and instead get in touch with, and use, our desires in conjunction with our goals, combining the feminine and the masculine
• Starting with how we want to feel, and who want to be, not what we want to do, in 2020 – and I give lots of examples from my own desires
• How we can think of our goals as SMART goals and SMART PLUS goals
• The importance of backing up your goals with your “why”
