Okay, obviously I’m overdramatic, but before I actually wrote a book, I was legit worried that I would 💀 without writing a book (and I’ve wanted to be an author since I was seven years old).I thought I was running out of time. I thought maybe I was too old, that the time to write a book had already passed me by, and by the way, omg, it was going to take a lot of time to write a book, and I already had too much to do in my day, every day.Past Pahla had a lot of time scarcity thoughts!But now that I’ve (mostly) worked through them and come to understand exactly what time scarcity is, how it’s showing up in your life right now as we speak, and what to do about it… well, that’s why I recorded this podcast.My friend, you have time to get your goal.And yes, journaling will help you. Listen to this episode for the practical steps of reducing time scarcity in your life, watch the Daily 3 journaling Masterclass to learn how to rewire your brain for success (total time commitment between both of these activities is around 40 minutes if you watch and listen on 1.25x speed), and then let’s get your goal.Oooh, P.S. About ten minutes in, I mention a really old episode, called “Stop Thinking POSITIVELY,” and here’s the link: https://getyourgoal.com/podcasts/40-stop-thinking-positively/Ready to Get Your GOAL? Here are the next steps: Watch the Daily 3™ Journaling Masterclass (or listen via Private Podcast) to learn the 5-minute daily journaling practice that will help you trust yourself, feel your feelings, and finally get your goal.

What If Perfectionism Isn't a Problem?
True story: For months now, I’ve been letting AI write my podcast show notes, because I’ve been telling myself that I’m not great at writing them and a robot is better at search-engine optimization than I am.And then when that still felt a little icky, I would remind myself that hardly anybody really reads them anyway, and it’s a lot faster than doing it myself.But that didn’t feel especially good, either, and today - literally in the middle of recording this podcast for you - I figured out why.I’ve been thinking about show notes from the perspective of how I’m “supposed to” write them, and what “everybody” says is the best way to do it, and whether or not the algorithm (yep, more robots!) will favor this episode.You know what, though? F that.MY show notes are a place where I can talk to you, directly, and let you know that this episode - in fact, this whole podcast, every episode - is for you.And friend, it is.This is the episode where we examine the all-or-nothing thinking that pervades the advice of mindset and productivity coaches who want to tell you that perfectionism is always wrong.It’s not.And I’m not taking the stand that it’s always right, either. There’s a nuance. Perfectionism *can* serve you, and inside this episode we’ll talk about when that is, how to tell the difference between “good” and “bad” perfectionism, and I have a couple of self-awareness questions you can use for yourself.When you’re ready to explore, you know I’m here for it. Let’s go.Ready to Get Your GOAL?

When You're Disappointed
We've all been there -- you ask yourself to do something and then… don’t. And disappointment just feels inevitable. But what if that feeling isn’t actually your fate? In today’s episode, I’m sharing the surprisingly simple shift that dissolves disappointment and restores your self-trust.You know that moment when you look back at your day and think, “Why didn’t I do the thing I told myself I was going to do?” Well, in this episode, we’re taking a compassionate look at what’s really going on when life “life-s” at you and suddenly, the task you meant to do just isn’t happening anymore.Because here’s the twist: disappointment doesn’t come from the undone thing. It comes from the belief that once you’ve made a decision, you’re obligated to stick with it — no matter what new information arises. Today, I’m walking you through the simple mindset shift that lets you make empowered in-the-moment choices instead of silently judging yourself for not being a machine.If you’ve ever wondered how to stay aligned with your big goal even when your day takes a hard left turn, this episode is for you.Ready to Get Your GOAL?

What Do You Want?

Today, I’m pulling back the curtain on why that happens — and what it really means for getting your goal.In this "advanced concept" episode, you’ll learn the surprising way your brain predicts your future, how it quietly redirects you back to your comfort zone, and why even the most ambitious goals can start to feel heavy or impossible.And here’s the best part: once you understand what's going on, you can work with it instead of getting derailed by it. If you’ve ever wondered why your journaling feels flat, why your vision won’t “light up,” or why imagining your future self sometimes feels worse instead of better, this episode will shift everything for you.Ready to Get Your GOAL?
